Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

The place was easy to find because there was so much traffic going on in the parking lot and there was a big ticket booth and herse in the front.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The waiting area was huge and there was so much commotion going on beyond it that it kept everyone interested. Every once in a while one of the actors would be peeking through and scaring people, so it wasn't as boring as most lines. Beyond the ropes they divide the groups and lock us in cages which I thought was a great idea to just kind of bring in a claustraphobia scare right off the beginning.

Most Unique

There were a few rooms that you could tell had a lot of money put into them for instance there was room full of body parts and soom of them moved. It was very eerie looking and different.

Actors' Performance

The actors were decent, nothing real out of the ordinary. I think a lot of them don't realize that they can go farther before they reach the boundary of a customer's space to scare people. They didn't use many props around them to their advantage to make each room interesting and different, but in place of that there was more decorations to make up for some of the lack of acting. I appreciated seeing more make up than masks though because it shows that more work went into it then costumes. I also appreciated seeing flexible actors who didn't just hide and walk around but actually crawled around.

Appropriate For

13 and up

Summary

It was decent but I still think the more the actors the better the scare. If there is too much of a lag between scenery and scare it wrecks the whole mood. I'd be interested in going another year just to see the change and possible improvements
