I'm not quite sure what to expect. Could it be packed? Or could it be pretty dead the first few times?

Good question.

Generally, Friday nights have smaller crowds compared to what Saturday nights deliver. However, with Opening Night being on a Friday, I think you will see a fairly large crowd. My advice is to hit up the new maze Slaughterhouse first; the new maze will almost certainly have the longest lines. Follow that up with Club Blood and/or Urgent Scare as they also have long lines. Aside from that, lines for all the mazes get long once 9:00 rolls around, and dies out after midnight when people start going home.

Thanks.

I'm not a big fan of the haunt attractions(although I may hit a few

mazes, just to freak myself out.. haha) just the rides!

Do you think the lines will be long?

Ride lines have very short waits during the Haunt because the majority of people that come usually are there for the mazes. However, some of the big-ticket rides, especially Delirium, Firehawk, Beast, and Diamondback, tend to have lines as long as some of the mazes (up to an hour-and-a-half at times!).

Here's a report from last year's opening day for the Haunt.
