Review

About Us: Group of ** 8 ** 2 adults, 2 girls age 10, 4 boys age 13
Time: Saturday 8:30 Prime hour
Location: very easy to find and get to
Parking: was packed and we have a large truck they got us in, had lots of parking people helping everywhere directing traffic
Restrooms: Chemical toilets, But, many of them, placed centrally, surprisingly clean A+ on that ** wife HATES these but also commented on the cleanliness of these **

The wait was very long, but again we planned at the peak of Halloween. You can go to the local bar for food and drink and they are within walking distance. Excellent waiting area INDOORS!!! Chairs to sit on, movie playing, good food at concessions and very reasonably priced, hats off to that! Even some arcade games, current ones at that.

Trying to describe without ruining the effects for future guests

They called our ticket #, the ticket booth said 3 hours and it was nearly 3 hours to the minute. WE decided to wait, others in our group did not, they missed out.
They staged us to exit the waiting area, and enter the haunt. I wasn't sure what to expect in the 1st scene but it was quite cool, the actors were strong, it hit many of the senses and did give you the feeling of motion. The use of modern technology was very cool and yet they still hit you with the good ole startle.
Traveling though the haunt, you are directed EVERYWHERE, halls, up stairways, down stairways, through pitch black passages, again hitting all the senses. I liked a little surprise ON one of the walls early on.
They did hit you with a long visual change that our whole group enjoyed, especially the room towards the end of this effect, very well done for a fun ending before the next scene.
Again good use of props to actors. I personally would have liked to have seen more props blended in with actors but that is ME and in no way detracted from the event.
The actors where all done up well and had a high energy to give our group a good scare. Towards the end, some more physical senses overloading, which we all enjoyed.

Over all a great time and awesome experience!!!

Summary

Great time for the WHOLE group, all ages, easy to find, VERY comfortable waiting, best I have had!!!!

Well worth the trip and a must attend on your Haunted House list

Be prepared to wait, comfortably!!

Like to see, again just me:
Since they have a captive audience in the waiting, they did have actors walk through but maybe increase the energy of them or have a chase of actor/guest (fake) through the crowd, but, somehow interact a bit more with the crowd to energize/scare the crowd a bit. Not easy I know but again just taking advantage of what you already have.
A cleaning crew to tidy up the floor. Lots of teenagers, fine, but we all know the mess we ALL can leave, a simple sweeping, mop of simple spills once in a while would be a great addition

As you can see not much to complain about at all!!!

You will enjoy this experience!!!!
