Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

State fair park is easy to find, and there is no way you can miss it with it being right off of 84th street.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

1&1/2 hours or so. There was a tent for one of the haunts that the wait line went into, but I think it was meant more to entertain after you went through already. There were some actors, but the croud was getting kinda rough with them at one point, so there weren't many of them out there. It would have been nice to hang out in the tent and wait for your number or color to be called instead of just a line. Some haunts do that.

Most Unique

The 3D effects I had only seen here last year. Also there are little kids (I think they are little kids) in one area singing... very creepy. Also, the themed idea of a haunted house is unique instead of just random scares. It was a good change.

Actors' Performance

The actors inside of the 3D house were GREAT. I was thinking that this couldn't be the same group as last year. It was so much better and longer. There were a lot of actors and a lot of scares. I really liked that there were scares from all sides. The outdoor house was themed also. It told this story and was a lot of fun to walk through. Most haunted trails aren't very good. This one I think is HUGE, and it is hard to block all of the light from the road. I was pretty suprised by the fire effects. I didn't think they could do that. This house wasn't as "packed" with scares as the indoor one. They gave you a little breathing room between scares, and that was GREAT. Ther was a lot to look at and sceens to interact with people. I am not sure which I liked better, I'm glad I went to both.

Appropriate For

12+ indoor; 10+ outdoor
