Review

HUGE Disappointment!!!

Summary

I was excited to hear that Racine finally had a Haunted attraction. The building was MASSIVE, old, and creepy (also on a creepy side of town, i.e., shootings, gang activity, etc.)But I was willing to risk the neighborhood for such an alluring Haunt. Parking was a mess even though they had at least one person I saw in the lot, he was not directing traffic (or doing anything at all but standing in one spot staring off into the distance) and many people were parked in by other vehicles standing around waiting to get out. Upon approach, there was a huge line spanning the outside of the building, through a wait area with music and refreshments for purchase, all the way up a stairwell. LOTS of people, moving VERY VERY slow. No wait line entertainers (unless you consider the actors coming out to use the port-a-potties or buy refreshments as line entertainment). Also, no props or real decor in the wait areas with the exception of one thrown together cheap Wal-Mart looking thingy. Admission was a straight $12.50, regardless of age. This attraction was worth maybe $2.50. Upon reaching the top of the stairwell, the women taking the tickets at the door told us someone actually had urinated in the attraction, so I was all pumped up and excited thinking this was going to be an amazing Haunt! It took 3 minutes to go thru this Haunt. 3 MINUTES!! And that was at a slow pace folks!! It was short, poorly constructed and poorly themed going from dirty bathroom scenes into graveyard scenes into a bedroom scene into a hospital scene, etc (you get the point--it made no sense and had no plot or story line). The props and decor (what little they had) were pathetically all homemade, as was the costuming with the exception of 1 or 2 actual costumes one might find at a Halloween store. The biggest issue I had was layout, it was very very sloppy. One of the actors hiding behind a wall with a hole in it large enough for him to stab out some hard foam prop was at an angle and this guy popped his hard foam prop right into my face and eye. This owner better be careful unless he wants a lawsuit from someone getting a serious eye injury or worse. They have this HUGE building and they used such a very small portion of it (they used maybe 3 rooms at most on 1 level out of 100's of available rooms on 3 or 4 different levels), what a letdown, and how deceiving to the patrons as well.
