I live for Haunted House season and was bummed when I heard Abandonded was not opening last year because I live so close. I am SOOOOO glad that they waited because you can definitely tell this Haunt is 2 years in the making.

I was impressed how each room had such amazing detail. Make sure you take time to appreciate the amazing artistry that was put into this haunt. The detail made you feel like you were really "in" the scene. There were themed rooms that you will not see anywhere else (I don't want to give ANYTHING away to those yet to go through).

Also, I felt like the actors take this Haunt to a completely different level than any other haunt I have been to. You can tell they "live" for this job. There were moments of the Haunt that were more calm and showed off the theme of the room and then there were moments that were more intense and scared the "beans" out of you. I thought there was a great balance between the two.

I have to say I was walking through with an 11 year old and was really trying not get noticeably scared and there were a handful of times that I couldn't help myself where I screamed out loud and jogged a bit to get a way from the actor.

The wait can be long, but the time went by fast with the outside entertainment, food, and anticipation of going in. Besides, the wait is half the fun!
