Summary

The lay out and the maze and the structures you encounter inside are superb! There are two walls called claustrophobic walls that you squeeze through. They are like the beanbag pillows, or close to that texture. Rick and I were laughing through both of them. The first one we went through, back upped, and went through it again. WE LOVED IT! The very first room had a GREAT animatronics Skelton head, which talked, chattered, and spewed out the rules. I kept waiting for him to ask me what I was looking at or some other smart-ass comment. He was great. A little hard to hear, but we were told afterwards that problem was soon to be fixed. I would of loved to seen him at the end telling me to get the hell out!

This was one of those places I could have done several times in a row. One of the first things Rick and I both noticed and commented on was ALL the BLACKNESS, more so then any haunted place we have been in. You know all of them have some rooms or hallways that are black and stay black, or light up at some point. There was A LOT of plain old DARK with out light. This is the first haunted we have ever been in where we were twisted and turned around A LOT in. I made the comment about maybe we should have brought a small flashlight, knowing we have never ever done that before. Come to find out at the beginning, if we had stood in line, we would have been issued one. (I will get to that story hold on).

Of course, we all know how hard I am on the actors that work these events. What kind of perfection and dedication and energy and creativity in customs I expect. Again, this event stood out with one actor and his custom. It was an extraordinary Werewolf Custom; I spent a lot of time looking at this creature. I think the actor himself might have thought I was a bit touched in the head.
