Signage / Visibility / Location
Lots of good signs, very easy to find.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The wait was about 35 minutes, but that's not too bad for the event. There was food, a bonfire and a singer to keep you busy in line.
Length
wait was about 35 minutes.
Event lasted about 25 minutes, depends on how fast you walk it.
Actors' Performance
Very good. Some were scary, but some weren't as much, they were still fun to see. It was based on different phobias, like of rats, clowns, and claustrophobia.
Appropriate For
7 (with family) and up
Summary
clowns were very disturbing. The rats were gross, and had a lot of good scares in our group. Liked the scarer with the light up staff.

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.

very good and easy to find.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
they had all these guys just head banging and dancing around on the house and they were walking around scaring people. the front of the house change looks which was really cool.
Length
the wait was short and the house lasted about 15 minutes or so.
Actors' Performance
the actors out front kinda just jumped around and were headbanging to tyhe music and the people in the house kinda just stood there. half of them were moving around so you knew they were real so you knew they were going to jump out at you. they also just stood there and didn't seem like they were trying to hard to scare you.
Appropriate For
all ages
Summary
the rooms were great and detailed to the max but they were pretty much designed with no scare in most rooms but very good room design.

Signage / Visibility / Location
The place is so easy to find that if you can't get there from the Mapquest maps, you shouldn't be driving.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Wait area has a few video games, a cool "Halloween shooting booth" with several different shooter games ($1 each). There's also a limited number of snacks and soft drinks available. Warning: I only noticed a couple of porta-potties. Go before you go, if you know what I mean.
Length
We waited in an outdoor line about 15 minutes, bought our tickets, and then waited in the sort-of-indoor area. Here we waited about 20 minutes, but there were lots of people, so the time passed quickly. When we left around 7:30, the outdoor part of the line was very long - I'd guess 200 people or more.
Actors' Performance
Everyone here was in great form! A lot of hard work, planning and scripting went into this effort and it SHOWS! This is definitely my new favorite.

Summary
Like a lot of others have said, Terror on Rural Street has a completely new theme - which makes it distinctive from "haunted houses." Some people may not like the change; I thought it was a great idea. You're admitted in groups of about 7. If you like to experience the scares - and there are plenty - try to drop back a few paces from others so there are 2 or 3 in your group. Going a little slower than others will preserve the surprises for you. There's a lot of navigation through the place too, so be prepared. The only reason Terror on Rural Street didn't get a 5 on the Scare Factor is because I'm an old guy. If these people really want to scare me, they need to start dressing like John Ashcroft.

it was very easy to see. There was a big sign out in front theat said FRIGHT NIGHT ON 50
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The wait was very short, we only waited in line for about 10 minutes if that. While you wait in line there are actors that are dressed up that scare you in line.
Length
The hayride was about 20 minutes long and the corn maze can last as long as you want it to.
Actors' Performance
The actors did an outstanding job on the hayride. They would jump on and be in your face with chainsaws and when you thought they were gone they really weren't.
Appropriate For
11 and up
Summary
The hayride was outstanding overall and the corn maze needed some more actors in if hiding and popping out at you.

Signage / Visibility / Location
Very difficult to find at night if you don't know where the fairgrounds are. The signs aren't very good once you get off the main highway (42/57).
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Nothing special in the wait area.
Length
The wait seems way too long for the number of people that were there the night we went.
Actors' Performance
Good performance, ecept it was so dark in the house that the main things the actors did was to point people in the right direction.
Appropriate For
8 and up
Summary
The main attraction seemed to be the darkness and people appearing ouot of the dark, but you could barely tell if they were wearing scary costumes because of the darkness. Nothing very spectacular here.

Signage / Visibility / Location
There was a orangeish sign on the corner of the brick building above the line. It's very close to the Oshkosh University.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Wait area was nice and clean. Heated and eerie lighting set a good mood. Add the ghost DVD and loud sound effects you will get pumped up for it. The announcer also added excitement reminding you they have had people leave and offer "take it easy on me stickers" for faint hearted tourists.
Length
Wait was longer than it felt due to the DVD. About 45min. Event was around 20min.
Actors' Performance
Varied. Some only got close in your face and made somekind of human/monster "growl". The red-eyed monster in "kitchen hall" was expertise. Moved perfect and sounded natural. Cool costume to see! Little guy up on balcony--You were very chilling standing on the stairs.
Appropriate For
10 and up
Summary
You need to get lucky for it to be that scary. I didn't like having a group of about 8-10 people. On top of a large group, the kids in the front got the "take it easy on me" sticker! I asked if my group of 5 could go after the group ahead. I was told no. It was then I realized I was on my way to go through a WALK that cost me $9. Thats $9 I could have spent at a house where I don't hear screems yards ahead around a corner befor most of the group passes(no surprise for tail enders). I left very disappointed. I thought it would have been a lot more intense. I truly can't see why some people leave, wet their pants, or pass out.
The opra house is very nicely designed and rustic. The house's sight is something to see. Good preservation!

Had a hard time finding the place because there were no signs leading you there. Luckly somebody in our group pointed out an actor (monster) walking around. So there it was the Grand Opera House.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There was a cheesy guy walking around with a pupet mask licking people with the pupet tounge. I was just gonna bite that tounge right off that's how annoying it was! Then once we got our tickets we had to go to the side...and WAIT AGAIN! Oh yeah...there was a bondage chick walking her 'human' dog named Junior. wtf
Length
We had waited from 6:30 until 7:20. We got out of the haunted house before 7:30. VERY SHORT! VERY DISSAPOINTING!
Actors' Performance
Some actors tried...some just were not worth the two cents. Great make-up on SOME actors. The dancers /(hookers) at the end were the best thing there. The hott of course. There was one that was toying around with me a bit. That was nice lol. She can have my email.
Appropriate For

Summary
Bondage in a haunted house in more than 2 rooms is not scary. I hit my head twice...that means cover up the places where people could hit there heads with carpet or don't even make places like that! OUCH! Hookers...you were the only thing worth my money. This haunted house was more sexy that scary. Not really worth driving out of your way to go to.

It's right with the Burial Chamber..therefore if you found the Burial Chamber...just go around back and there it is..in a warehouse.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Wait area was kinda boaring. We came out from the Burial Chamber and had to walk all the way around a HUGE warehouse...in the dark with nobody jumping out at us. We went straight into the Blood City after the long walk.
Length
It took us about 15 minutes to get through Blood City. Took no time in line to get in.
Actors' Performance
They did an ok job. Then again they relied on the atmosphere more than anything. Great job to the Stripper. GOOD IDEA!
Appropriate For
18+ (the stipper was just too hott for the young ones lmao j/k)
Summary
Great job guys. Having a new additional haunted house attracted us back to visit. One tip for you is to maybe seel your halways better so that its darker. For the actors...SCARE and scream your heads off, even if the people are not scared!

We were there 2 years ago therefore we found it easier. It's in a warehouse. Signs for Burial Chamber and Blood City are on the front.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Nothing when we went. But we heard a chainsaw...which that GAY! to have it in the begining wondering around like a zombie!
Length
We waited about 20 minutes at Burial Chamber. The event was about 15 minutes long walking slow.
Actors' Performance
For the most part they did a ok job. When they weren't so great...the racket the made with tools or caskets (whatever) covered up their bad acting.
Appropriate For
8+
Summary
They did a great job. 2 years ago when our haunted house crew went through...we didn't think much of it. We came back because...well it is 2 years later and things will change a lot in 2 years. They did a great job in putting major detail into things. That really counts! They just need to pick up the garbage in the ticket booth room. AND EMPTY THOSE THINGS THAT ARE OVERFLOWING AND STINKING UP THE WHOLE BLOCK CALLED PORTABLE BATHROOMS!!!
