Review
Signage / Visibility / Location
We have been to this haunted house many times before. We also know the area because my family loves a restaurant that is near the haunted attraction. So, I didn't follow the directions on the internet. It is not hard finding it though.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There is a building that you can wait in. There are benches to sit on, a food area, and some games to play. There is also an outside area to wait in (the building walls block the wind pretty much). I didn't see anyone dressed in costume walking around, which would have made it more fun! They also didn't have any props out like they used to have. I was kind of disappointed with that.
Length
We arrived around 9:00 and got our tickets. They were calling numbers that were about 400 away from ours...and they call them in groups of 50. So, we decided to get a few drinks at a local bar/restaurant. We were there for about an hour and a half. When we walked back, they were calling the group right before us, so it was perfect timing. Overall wait was about an hour and 40 minutes. We expected that because of how late we got there. The length of the event was about 20-25 minutes.
Actors' Performance
The actors were really into their roles! It was a lot of fun. The overall haunted house was really good. The only thing that I didn't like was that they made you go in groups of 10!!! That is just too big for a haunted house. You just can't scare that big of a group as much as you could a smaller group!!! We also ran into the group before us and the group behind us ran into us! That is my main complaint. I loved the props and the actors. I didn't like the group sizes and running into other groups...that always ruins it.

Summary
I could not believe how many little children I saw at the haunted house. One woman was carrying her little boy (who was sleeping) into the haunted house. I really don't think any of the haunted houses are a place for young children.

Signage / Visibility / Location
We followed the directions off the internet and it worked just fine! No problems finding the haunt. There was a big white sign and people helping park the cars. There were even torches lighting the drive by the parking area.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The wait area was inside a building with plenty of seating in bleachers. It was nice because it was cold out and we were able to sit in a warm building. There were people dressed up scaring everyone that was waiting. That was fun watching people jump. It was very entertaining. There was also a light show that cast over the walls and ceiling!
Length
We waited for about 30 minutes tops. It wasn't bad at all. We got there pretty early, a lot more people were coming in after we sat down. The haunted house took about 25-30 minutes...depending on how fast your group walked.
Actors' Performance
The actors were really into their roles. It was awesome. I think our group screamed in most of the rooms we walked in! The actors really stayed in character and kept it interesting. It was fun too because we were followed a majority of the time by the actors. They also cut into our line a few times, so you really didn't know who was holding on behind you...a member from your group or a monster!?!?! That made it fun. The props were also cool. You could tell a lot of effort went in to making this haunt. Great job!!!

Summary
The only thing we didn't like too much was the fact that you could see the ceiling of the building and the tops of the walls/dividers for the rooms...it was just too open, which meant that more light was let in and it wasn't dark enough in some areas.

Signage / Visibility / Location
The directions were good. It was really dark and kind of hard to see. We ended up passing the road that the pumpkin farm was on, but it was no big deal. We were watching for the road signs and saw it as we passed, so we just simply turned around. There was a big pumpkin sign outside the haunt on the right side of the road. It was a little weird driving up the driveway to the place because in order to get to the parking area in the way back, you needed to drive past the ticket area and wait for all the lines of people to move so you could drive through to find the people helping park the cars. The parking wasn't very structured either. A few cars ended up parking people in while we were there. The workers did however make an effort to find the drivers of the cars.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The wait area was outside, along a barn and bunny pen. That was probably the most entertainment, watching the bunnies hop around. There was one guy that walked around in costume, but he wasn't scary. In fact, I don't even know what he was supposed to be!!! Some sort of deranged police officer or something from years ago?!?! There was a vending area and halloween store with pumpkins and gourds to buy. There was also a large bonfire. My biggest complaint was that the tickets, food, and store were one building with only one person at the register. This took FOREVER. I don't understand why they don't split up the store/food and the tickets!?!? People were waiting in line forever to buy the stuff!!! It was very irritating.
Length
This was the worst part! We ended up waiting in line to buy tickets for over 45 minutes, close to an hour. Then the line for the corn maze was over 2 and a half hours long. They did have a bonfire that you could wait by, but unless you had enough members in your group to have some wait in line while others went by the fire, you weren't able to go over by the fire (w/o losing your place in line). The line moved very slowly. We didn't get into the corn maze until after midnight sometime. The corn maze took a good 35-40 minutes to walk through.
Actors' Performance
The actors were really into their roles, which made the corn maze fun. They were very energetic and were able to catch us off guard. It was also cool because the corn stalks were over 6 ft. tall in most areas and the path through the corn was only wide enough to make your group walk in single file line (This was scarier because you couldn't huddle together and were right next to the stalks!) There could have been a few more live actors, but the props were awesome. It kept you guessing as to which were real actors and which were just props!!!! Good job guys. It looked like a lot of hard work was put into the maze...that makes it even more fun to experience!

Summary
Dress warm...it gets very cold at night and you will thank yourself for packing extra clothes! You will wait a while to get in, but it is nice to see the hard work put into the haunt. We also talked to a worker and he said that they usually only get about 30 people stopping there in the first hour or two and then they are suddenly hit with 200 people showing up!!! GET THERE EARLY. You will not want to wait in line that long.

Signage / Visibility / Location
We have been there many times before, so it was routine to us. Following the directions makes it really easy. The only bad thing is that there are barely any street lights so it's hard to see the street signs. Otherwise, most of the turns you make are at stop signs, etc... when you have time to look around and see what streets you are on! The building is pretty lit up and there are people helping park so it is easy to see where the haunt is.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
We waited in the gymnasium, which was nice. It was warm with plenty of chairs to sit in. They had a vending area with anything from nachos and soft pretzels to hot dogs and cookies! If you are running late and want to get there before the rush, don't bother eating...they have plenty of food! There were also video games lining the wall.
Length
We only waited for about 30 minutes. We got there before a longer line of people started showing up. (Rule of thumb-If you want to get into the haunted house sooner, show up earlier.) If you are in a smaller group(2-3), you might be in luck...they make sure you have a group of 8 going in to the haunted house. We only had a group of 6 so they asked around for a group of 2 to join us. So if you are in a smaller group, you can usually get in right away!
Actors' Performance
The actors were great! I loved it. This was so much better than last year. They improved a lot! The props were great and the actors were awesome. They put a lot of work into this haunted house and you can tell. Great job all around!!!

Summary
They go by the numbers on the tickets, so don't just start forming a line. They will call off the numbers they are looking for and write them down on the board. Just make sure you are listening to what's going on!!

Signage / Visibility / Location
It was really easy to find the haunt. The barn was located right along the roadside and there were people helping park the cars. There was also a large white sign on the opposite side of the road pointing to the haunt.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There wasn't really much entertainment. They did have a vending booth and a few guys walked around outside the barn in costume.
Length
We really didn't have to wait. The only thing that took long was deciding whether to go through the barn, corn maze, or hayride first! None of these events had a line when we were there. The lines started later at night when we left (around 9:30).
Actors' Performance
Most of the actors were pretty energetic. I was a little upset going through the haunted barn though. Our group was pushed a few times and didn't appreciate it (we thought the workers were not supposed to touch you). I was also upset with the corn maze. It was supposed to be haunted, but we only saw 1 person throughout the hour and 25 minutes we were in there. The hayride was not very scary either.

Summary
If the weather has been rainy, make sure you take old shoes to go through the corn maze! It gets a little messy.
