From my experience: WASTE OF TIME. the first time i went a few years ago it wasn't great, so i haven't gone since. we got free tickets this year so we decided to go. We went for 7pm so we could be out early. We just got off the train at 9:30pm. We decide to leave because it was absolutely a waste of time. the lines were insanely long. i would say they need to greatly improve on their time management. to start, the train wasn't even decorated nor was the trail it took. so you just sit in the dark on the train for 15min with a ton of kids. wasn't "scary" what so ever. we got off the train and the line was at least an hour long. after the first house, the second line was another hour long. So i really (really) hope you you don't mind waiting at least 4 hours. to top it off, when we entered we had to leave a few items in the entrance and were told that we could get them after. when we left everything we left was gone. i highly doubt i will be returning.
