Review

Meadowbrook gets it right! What sets a haunt apart from the rest? Complete sensory overload. Meadowbrook takes that sensory overload and amplifies that by 11! Loud, bright, startling, disorienting, and lengthy, all done without a flaw. But the thing that makes Meadowbrook better that any haunted corn maze you've ever been too is their awesome animatronics. I can't imagine the amount of time and money that is spent putting this haunt together. The actors at Meadowbrook are nothing short of excellent. The night we went was quite cold, which can be bad news for most actors, but not these pros, they don't miss a beat, and successfully spook you like no other. Meadowbrook is one of the best haunts you are going to attend this season. If you've been to Meadowbrook in years past, go again! I have attended this haunt every year for the last I don't know how many years, and not once did it seem similar to years past. Meadowbrook is truly innovative and masters of their craft! Hands down, my favorite all around haunt!

Signage / Visibility / Location

Meadowbrook is down a very dark street, but you can't miss it once you get to it! Well lit, parking help, and plenty of parking!

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The waiting area is nothing to write home about, its a line leading to a corn maze. No roaming spooks, no real decorations, aside from the farm animals in the pens next to the line... Oh and a giant rooster statue! Yup, a giant rooster statue!

Actors' Performance

Top notch! These guys and girts put their hears and souls into scaring you, and do it with ease! The best actors around!

Sets Scenes / Props / FX

Only the best at Meadowbrook! I can't even begin to guess how much is spent on props here. These people are dedicated to the haunt and you can tell in their props.

Length

Easily 45 minutes. You will definitely get your moneys worth at Meadowbrook. I found myself thinking to myself on several occasions "it has to be over after this bend." It just keeps going and going and going! It's pretty awesome!

Crowd Control

The line wasn't super long on the night I went. There really wasn't anyone controlling the crowd, but there wasn't any reason for control while I was there.

Most Memorable Moment

It's hard to narrow it down to one moment. All the animatronics are the most memorable moments for me. Yeah, I said moments! Meadowbrook is too good to only have one!

Summary

If meadowbrook had a theme song, it would be that one Karate Kid (THE ORIGINAL!) used: You're the Best Around! I go every year, and I will continue to go until they stop doing it! If you can only go to one haunt this year, don't waste your time, just go to Meadowbrook, it's everything you want in a haunt!

The waiting area you missed in your eagerness to get into the haunt is the Bonfire with one awesome storyteller telling stories of ghosts of the past and present here on the Farm. Many people come year to year just to hear the stories by the bonfire...
