Wisconsin State Fair Park, how could ANYONE miss this place?

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Just standing in line, no ghouls or ghosts to torment us

Length

This park offers 2 houses, a 3D House which is really cool, and a outdoor Zombie Land, which is also very cool.

Actors' Performance

The actors were still learning their parts and everything. Again, opening night is never anyone's best. Try this one closer to Halloween, by then I'm sure it'll be a hit!

Appropriate For

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

If you know where the State Fair grounds are, then it's easy to find. Just look for all the lights and activity.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Zombie Trail- We had no entertainment other than basic creepy music. Our wait was outside, but there is a staging area in the pavilion. 3D Fear Factory- the wait was inside and not very long.

Length

Zombie Trail- Our wait was about 15 minutes, although we were told we would only wait 5 minutes. The event lasted approx. 20 minutes. The maze took the longest amount of time. 3D Fear Factory- the event lasted approx. 5 minutes.

Actors' Performance

The actors were into their roles. However, there could have been much more effort put into the overall experience.

Appropriate For

3D- all ages. Zombie Trail- 13+

Summary

The 3D Fear Factory is geared more towards the younger crowd, as it is not scary. It is entertaining, but not for $10. 3D effects are pretty cool.
The Zombie Trail is noted as having a "brutal fear factor", this could not be further from the truth. The zombie theme was well planned and executed, but the only scary part of the event was the maze, and only because it was pitch black and dead quiet.The anticipation of an actor jumping out heightened the experience, but there were NO actors in the maze! What gives?! Not worth $10 either. Better luck next year.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

It was easy to find

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There were refreshments in the area and also a band nearby.

Length

We waited about 15 minutes in line for the Zombine Zone Trail of Terror

Actors' Performance

The Zombie zone Trail had only about 8 actors in the event. They were not that scary.

Appropriate For

All

Summary

I wish that there were more actors in the Zombie Zone because it would have
been more scary. We were walking alone most of the time without any actors trying to scare us. The area where
the Zombie zone is has so much potential to do more with the area.
We expected to get scared and we
walked out disappointed.
The only thing scary was the price.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Huge sign on the building. In State Fair Park.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Thaey had some boths to seel merch and some psychics to read your future.

Length

Since it was opening weekend, the wait was about 10 minutes.

Actors' Performance

The few actors they had were excellent, but few.

Appropriate For

12 and up.

Summary

Well, it was advertised that both the 3D maze and the Zombie Trail were to be opened for this haunt. Fo some reason the Zombie trail was not ready. So we went through the only adult haunt available, the 3D maze.

The effect of the 3D imagery coming from the walls was very cool. The few acotrs they had inside were well costumed and great at scares. However the haunt was VERY quick, well under 10 minutes. And outside of the beautiful 3D murals on the walls, there weren't that many special effects or ambience. DOn't know if it was worth the $10 for a 5 minute maze.
