Halloween Horror Nights gets extremely busy and most nights are expected to sell out so advance tickets are highly recommended. Parking can take a while so ride sharing is always a great idea when coming to the park. Lastly, the haunted house lines can get up to one or two hours long, so if you want to beat the lines and get through the park with ease, the Universal Express tickets are worth the price to get one-time front of the lines passes for the night.
