Review
Signage / Visibility / Location
Easy to find. Directions on the internet. $5 to park? weak.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
If you don't spend the $20 for the VIP pass, don't even bother going. We waited 2 and a half hours to get in! When the wait is that bad, its hard to stay objective. There was a DJ in the tent we waited in who was way too loud, and 3 or 4 characters who kept the line entertained including a guy with a real chainsaw. They sell beer for $5. It felt like we were at the mall.
Most Unique
The body bag room was good, as was the room with the two characters blending into the walls. The cage maze was ok. The vortex is really disorienting and the highlight of the house.
Actors' Performance
Ok. Pretty repetitious. 3D glasses and artwork make it unique, but none of the actors themselves stood out or made any unique noises. Mostly just a mask or something bought in the mall, no spectacular rooms or outfits. In the house there was a fake plastic chainsaw with a speaker on it.
Appropriate For
10+
Summary
We were all very upset after we left this house. If I knew that we could pay $5 more and wait 5 min. versus 2 and a half hours I obviously would have. The line wasn't more than 150 people, but they were letting in people SO SLOW! That was just ridiculous and unacceptable for any haunted house. Once we did get in the house. The actors broke character 3 times and told us to wait. If that wasn't enough, characters told me repeatedly to hurry up (because I was last) even though it seemed quite obvious I couldn't go anywhere.
