Consent cue

Crowds spike after 7 PM and the midway runs loud. Agree on regroup spots and touch signals before the glow stroll begins.

How it flows

Arrive pre-sunset

Lock in your regroup spot + hydration baseline.

Glow-first lap

Tunnels + Enchanted Tree before lines stack.

Rides / midway

While energy is high, then slow it down with a lounge reset.

Spookeasy landing

Or a quieter land once noise/crowds peak.

Clean exit

Before the 10 PM fatigue wave: water, gratitude, and “home safe” texts.

Pivots & backups

Line spike pivot

If it’s slammed after 7 PM, do the photo loop first (Pumpkin Tunnel → Enchanted Tree), then rides once families tap out.

Wind / ride pause pivot

If the zipline or outdoor rides pause, pivot to Jack-o’-Lantern Lawn shows, the Spookeasy, or the resort arcade.

Sensory overload pivot

Regroup at a calmer land, do one quiet lap, and reset with water before deciding what’s next.

Budget + time squeeze

Skip VIP upgrades and pick one signature moment: glow tunnels + one shared cider/slushie, then bounce.
