Why do you assign entry times for the haunted attractions? Can I go in whenever I want?

When you redeem your ticket voucher you will receive an entry wristband with assigned times for each attraction. We assign entry times to minimize the amount of time you spend waiting in line at each attraction. Please note that once you have your wristband, you are free to enter the Firegrounds as soon as the gates are open (usually 7:30 p.m., but as early as 7:15 on some nights) regardless of the attraction entry times you are assigned. Before, between and after your scheduled attractions, you are free to enjoy everything the Firegrounds has to offer including bonfires, giant slides, mini attractions, entertainment, Foamhenge, etc.

Attraction entry times are assigned based on the order in which you arrive at the Ticketbooth. Even if you purchase your tickets online in advance, your entry times will not be assigned until you redeem your tickets when you arrive at the farm. The earlier you arrive at the Ticketbooth, the earlier the times you will be assigned. On busy nights, the earlier entry times will go fast, meaning that even if you arrive at 8 p.m., you could end up being assigned very late entry times.

Our earliest time assignments are either 7:15/7:45/8:15 or 7:30/8/8:30, meaning you will enter your first attraction right when the gates open, and you’ll finish your final attraction around 9 p.m. On very busy nights, entry times could go as late as 10:30/11/11:30, meaning that you would not finish your final attraction until around midnight.
