Only real difficulty came more from me being a city boy and unused to farmland roads

Nothing during the WAIT, but you keep warm in this one building and they sort of start getting you to suspend disbelief as the "security patrol" walks you over to the haunt.

pretty average for most haunts

Better than most. I really liked the coherent theme. It wasn't just a bunch of scary rooms put together slipshod, but more like the haunted houses I saw in Disneyworld last October, where there's a scary plot happening that your group has been sucked into. I was honestly surprised to see so much thought had gone into it, seeing as how I learned of the haunt from a flyer posted on an electrical pole on campus. There's also a haunted hay ride, which took longer (maybe half an hour?) and was fairly lame.

all ages allowed in public :)
