2018 Event Reviews

Best haunted house I’ve been to!! The actors are amazing and the scenes are fantastic I’d recommend to any and every one!! Keep up the great work!!

First time here in 2018 and you guys rocked it. I especially loved the fast pass and once we were in, it was no 5 minute thing. It was close to an hour and we totally got our money's worth. I would totally recommend to anyone!!!

We waited in line for 2 1/2 hours for something that was strictly geared towards children. The fear factor for adults would be a 0.

“Come with me… and you’ll see… a world of safety violations…”

What scared us were safety issues. When I sign a waiver, I have an expectation that the operators would still strive to make patron safety a priority. The moment we walked down the hill we had to navigate uneven footing on paths in outdoor haunts and then at “the finale” our safety fears were confirmed when a man 2 lift-chairs in front of us fell off the lift 2/3rds of the way up. (Yes, you read that right. A MAN FELL OFF THE SKI LIFT - at approximately 10:15p.m. on Saturday October 13th – with 5 witnesses). Here is our experience and it’s important to note we did the attraction SOBER:

The waiting area is probably one of the best – excellent DJ, fun eye-candy music videos and signs, a funny hillbilly actor working the waiting crowds, bonfires and 2 bars – one before you buy tickets and one in the tent/waiting area. While a bar is a revenue booster and can make the wait seem shorter for patrons, it’s a bad idea at an attraction with extremely rough paths and a ski-lift.

PATHWAYS: The uneven footing issues were SO BAD it took away from the show. I felt bad for us and the actors - actors were good, but we had to focus attention to watching our step, so we wouldn’t trip.

Everyone is told to turn off cell-phones and I can appreciate that – they ruin haunts. However, when can’t see where you should step because ground is so uneven, and it’s a problem. Majority of the time in outdoor haunts we could not figure out our footing – were we walking on stairs or a ramp? Some stairs on paths were deep/wide and the next one was short/narrow. Some stairs were packed with hay so much, it felt like a ramp and you couldn’t tell where the stair was. My friend’s son rolled is ankle. I fell forward onto my husband twice because I didn’t see the stair down within a haunt.

SHOCK PADS: Not a safety issue but not fun either. I walked into something that felt like I was smacked in the cheek and upper right bicep at the same time. This morning my upper arm is sore like I had a tetanus shot.

SKI LIFT: Lighting is very poor getting on to the ski lift. If there is a “speed control” they need to slow that b***ch down! It was so dark we didn’t even see (nor did the staff member remind) to pull the safety bar down. We aren’t ski-iers. There was some signage getting on but we didn't have time to read - plus it was dark and it was evident they were pushing as many through as fast as they could - it was a crowded. Then 2/3rds of the way up our chair suddenly starts bouncing up and down – at the same time we see a guy in a gray hoodie fall with a loud THUMP.

His girlfriend told the operator at the top and he didn’t seem to believe her until my friend’s son disembarked and yelled at them they needed to go down and get the guy. They then shut the lift down (we were still hanging there next in line to get off) and saw the whole scene from above I was disturbed by the lack of urgency by staff and the lack of flashlights. Luckily the man fell in a way where he was ok – I’m sure he’s hurting today. It could have ended tragically if he landed wrong on his neck or head.

The ski lift entry/exit points NEEDS TO BE WELL LIT.
The speed NEEDS TO BE SLOWED DOWN.
SAFETY BARS NEED TO BE PUT DOWN or people must be told to pull them down.

They were trying to move so many people through that it was a problem - it was rushed and lacked safeguards.

I’ve visited many haunts, but never have I felt unsafe or feared injury. It’s sad because I know there are good people involved in this attraction, and actors are working hard, but blatant safety concerns overshadow the entire show.

Signing a waiver should not be a pass for management to lax on the safety of patrons.

Dr. SCary's SCream Park haunted house was so much fun! Nice pace where you could take your time and take it all in. The actors did a stellar job. A few unique features that made it unpredictable and that is not an easy task! The wait was long, but they have a movie, music videos and an escape room to pass the time. They do have a food concession stand as well, but we did not partake. A magician walked around doing a few tricks and kept the people waiting entertained. This was a busy Saturday night but it went smoothly. Within this long wait, I did not see one person enter the escape room. I would think that perhaps they could give away a free try by calling a random number every so often. This might inspire others to give it a try. I love the idea of having the escape room, but it went unused which is a shame. They might also consider the canned food drive for the escape room instead of dollars off on a ticket. Also, it was hard to hear the numbers being called to enter the haunt. Maybe a lit up board with the numbers displayed would prevent people from constantly asking which numbers were called. Haunts are one of my favorite events and this one was one of the best I have been to in many decades. Highly recommended!

I love this place lots of dark areas filled with screams. The rooms were decked out floor to ceiling and their were actors everywhere.

This is the worst and most unsafe haunted house I have ever seen.

What happens when you serve people copious amount of drinks, have crap paths that are uneven, rails that aren't even attached and not safe, and then end with a ski lift with the staff not telling you there's a bar that can be pulled down going at mach 10 to get people through?

A drunk Wile E. Coyote falling off the ski lift in front of us tonight and being distracted up to that point by the the safety hazards and my wife getting nailed in the eye with a rope. This was $38/per person. How his haunt got the fire inspectors approval is beyond me. I don't know where to begin on what is wrong with this haunt. The actors are mediocre. But for me it was really several safety factors. From the uneven stair covered in hay so the steps were uneven, the paths muddy and untaken care of where one of our people twisted his ankle, to ZERO lighting in key areas where is was needed. I was unimpressed and felt they just wanted to make money. Safety was not a factor. Even the planks you walked across was weak and I felt David Gruber was needed to be called. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

When we got to the ski lift, little instruction was given. The Sky lift was going around fast. No instruction on the pull down front brace. Going up to the top I told my wife I felt like we could fall and it wasn't safe. 30 seconds later we saw a gray sweatshirt fall to the ground with a mighty thud. It was a man that fell two lifts in front of us. His girlfriend started yelling right away. The staff did not believe it and there was no urgency to see if he was okay. He must have fell 30 feet at least. It wasn't until one of our party said to get him help was there any action. He got up and said he was okay. There was no medical staff to check him out. Just staff to find his glasses. They stopped the lift and I wanted off while they helped him. As I got off they started it at mach 10 and my wife also almost got hit in the head with the lift. Then they gave us a flier detailing a accident on the ski lift that killed people and if we survived the haunt we would get a two for one Miller Lite. WTF!

We then got into the other line, and there was the guy who fell and he was intoxicated feeling no pain at that time. No one checked him out medically. Tomorrow, this guy will have issues. Guaranteed. If he is reading this remember: One call, that's all. Get a lawyer.

From there we got to exit and there was no well lit path. We didn't know where the exit was. This was the worst acted, safe, and managed haunt I have been to. Don't go here. There's better nearby.

They were great LAST YEAR. This year I was disappointed and wish I never went. Will not be back again in the future.

Every year I look forward to going to the Wisconsin Feargrounds. This year did not disappoint! I love the actors that wander through and interact with you when you wait! Indoors I might add, its nice with all the rain we've been having lately. The houses are detailed amazingly, and the makeup and costumes are awesome. Can't wait to see what they bring out next year!

Wisconsin fear grounds is one of a kind haunted house attraction, each house it’s self makes you scream uncontrollably! It feels like you’re in a movie of your own, definitely gives me the spooks!

This place is top notch!! Everything is very life like! Hands down the best haunted house I have seen. Would recommend this one to all my friends.

Oh.....My......Gosh! I’ve been to this place many times. But I’ve got to tell you that this year is off the charts. Morgan manor is the staple of this place and like I said I’ve been through it many times, however I feel like I’m walking into it for the first time this year. It’s totally changed up. This is a must see event ! But don’t take my word for it,go and see for yourself !

Great haunted house. Our whole group enjoyed all aspects of this haunted house. From the actor's made us laugh to the actors that made us scream it was all awesome.

This place just keeps getting better year after year. There is always something new and different in each of the three haunted houses. I have been here year after year and continue to get scared and have a fun night. This is a must see every year.
