We got on Rt 24W and pulled in the line right at 7am. Being so early, i was VERY surprised that the line was backed up just before Exit 127 15 miles from the entrance! So as we approached exit 127, the police officer pointed us off of the interstate on to exit 127. At first we were pissed and didnt know what was going on, but after we followed the event traffic signs we got a LOT of milage driven on the back road and cam up to the line eventually. After waiting, it was only 2 hours that we waited in line and were set up camp at Pod 9 around 1030 or 1100. I'm going to keep this in mind for next year, cause it was a real great way to get in. At the time, i thought we just shaved off 2 or 3 hours but after hearing that some people waited for 9 hours, i i am very thankful to that cop that we thought was an d!ck.
We only waited an hour and ten minutes in line. We went in highway 41, got in line at 7:55am and were through the tollbooths by 9:15. We were parked in Camp Ferris Bueller near pod 3, and very close to where we were parked last year (Ed Rooney).

We got in line on the highway heading east towards exit 127, at about 630 am, we didnt get to our campsite till about 2 or 3 i think. It was ridiculous.
I dont know how it happened but we showed up at in line at 1pm and were relaxing with our tent setup by 215. I hesitate to type that because I feel guilty...

We had a handicap person in the car with us and were going to handicap camping, so we used the VIP entrance at exit 111, but we wouldn't have known we were supposed to use that entrance if a d!ck cop didn't let us get off at the walmart parking lot and told us to go to the walmart off exit 111.

We got to Walmart at 8:00 Wednesday night, got in line at exit 111 at 10:30 and we were sleeping at camp in Pod 1 by 12:45. I was thoroughly satisfied.

We left Manchester at 6:30 AM. 114 was totally blocked. They routed us all the way to 127 and back again. In line for 10 flipping hours. At one point I think we moved less then a mile in 2 hours. The line was awful this year, we have never waited this long.

We got off I-24 at exit 111 around 10:00ish on Wed night and sat on the overpass for about 1.5 hours before turning toward the farm. After that it was smooth sailing all the way to BFE and an easy hike to Tent-Only in the morning.

Our directions told us to take I-24 exit 110 for Manchester, and we should have. But all the event signs said to go to 127. So, we got on the shoulder with the rest of the 'roo traffic around mile marker 115 at about 9:30 AM, and didn't see the sign for 116 for over an hour and a half. At one point we moved a few miles rather quickly, and noticed that on the other side, going in, a ton of cars had been backed up because one car had over heated. We saw that this was the case for multiple line-ups of cars, said "fuckit" and drove straight to 127. That's when they had us wait on the back road for an two hours before getting to a check point that told us we needed to go back to the express way. It was pissing us off until we decided that we weren't going to pull over on the express way for lines of cars waiting for one stalled ride. So we drove to mile marker 113, hopped in the real line and got in five minutes later. We were in the front corner of Luke Skywalker, at 2nd and 8th.
We only waited an hour and ten minutes in line. We went in highway 41, got in line at 7:55am and were through the tollbooths by 9:15. We were parked in Camp Ferris Bueller near pod 3, and very close to where we were parked last year (Ed Rooney).
Wow, we were probably neighbors! I was in Ferris Bueller as well. Left Walmart at 6:00am and got through the tollbooths by 9:00am.

Smart phones and inforoo saved my Thursday! Came in east bound on I-24 about 7:45am and saw on here that traffic was looking rough. I got off at mile marker 97 and used Google maps to take the back roads in. Well, in about 20 minutes of safe driving me and my buddy arrived to the farm. We literally came down the road that the property backs up too and runs into bushy branch directly at the toll booth entrance. The security flagged both of us right into the line and I quickly navigated as far left and away from the 5 0 as possible. I will most definitely be doing the very same next year!

We (2 cars) got in line at 630am and got in by 1pm. By the time we got to the exit 3 cars cut behind us and our partner! We were finally set up by 3p. We parked at Camp Han Solo but set up tents at Camp Marty McFly - we could see Leo's flag
