2011 Wisconsin Feargrounds (PERMANENTLY CLOSED) Event Reviews

On Saturday night myself and 4 friends had the chance to visit what I call Wisconsin’s would must see haunted attraction of the year. We arrived around 7:10pm to find an already busy site. They had a great grasp on crowd control from the moment you get in line to buy tickets. They had a designated line for those who purchased their tickets ahead of time online (Which by the way was a great deal with the early special only costing $20 for all 3 houses) and another line with a worker in the front that when you reached her she would then separate you into one of 3 ticket booth window lines. Once we paid, we received a very neat collector’s coin which would be used for getting you into line, and also a wristband for those who are doing all 3 haunts. The line took us about 1 hour to make it thru, but there was plenty from the actors who made sure you visit everyone in line, to TV with different events happening leading up to the haunt.

We started with Morgan Manor, which I would describe as a whole as the much more detail oriented (in regards to the sets) house. Each room, you stepped in gave you the complete feeling that you where actually in this setting for that moment. I think the house could have used a few more actors and surprises to scare the guest, but it was still enjoyable and had our group on the edge of their toes.

Next up was Morgana’s Torment, which is very much a touchy feely house. By that I mean be prepared to walk thru lots of spaces that challenge you to find your way thru the dark, while being squeezed by different objects. We had a group ahead of us that even joined our group as they got lost in the plastic pipe maze in the beginning. This house will push you to the limit, and don’t take your guard down for too long, as this house is not actor free.

Finally we have the Unstable the haunted barn, which is a very well done countryside massacre. The farmers and other creatures are not very happy to in the barn, and they want you to join in on the misery. As you push thru the animal parts and other farm related objects, the surprises, keep you guessing from all angles.

Best part of the haunt: In the barn when the actors heard someone say the name of a lady in are group named Cassie, they seemed to almost pass it on, so that when we continued to other parts of the barn, the farmers all knew her name and kept asking “Where’s Cassie?”.

Finding the event was very easy if you follow the instructions via their website or use a GPS. They also have it mentioned on the Waukesha Expo Center sign.

The event cost $30 the night of or $20 for those who purchased tickets online under the early bird special. This is a great deal considering it is for 3 houses and last around 45 minutes to an hour.

My friends and I went out to this one again, and although it was CRAZY BUSY, we had a BLAST!! These guys have not dissapointed us in the past, and yet again we were amazed with how they keep coming up with new ways to scare us!! All three of the houses were fantasticly desgined, phenominal detail, and the actors are non stop!!

WOW! I went to this haunt 2 years ago and was impressed back then, but it seems as if the whole place had morphed into one giant living entity ready to scare the daylights out of you.

I loved this place the first time I went, it was super scary. This year was 1,000 times better! I was freaked out the moment I walked into the waiting area. The first haunted house was very creepy to me. The actors kept saying the oddest things to us. Near the end we couldn't walk fast enough to get out. The second house was uber-scary, super dark and twisted. The lead person in our group couldn't figure out which way to go, and you could tell the actors really enjoyed scaring us. The third house was set up like a barn, lots of animals and all of the actors were like hillbillies, which is completely different than the first 2 houses they have.

I attended these haunted houses last year and had a great time so I was excited to bring a group of friends to check it out this year. We were definitely glad we went! They kicked it up a notch this year with the three haunted houses. Each one seems longer, and they were entertaining the whole way through. Some of the monsters were funny and some were scary.

One of the scariest haunted houses I have ever been to. I was there on the night they opened, as more of a dare from friends. The actors in the houses seemed to be brushing off their skills since it was opening night, but that didn't stop me from being really scared. The actors did a great job making me cover my face into my friends shoulder. The best acting was in the first haunted house, but that didn't stop the other two from working really hard. The fact that there are three houses for the price of one is sweet, and I had a $5 coupon from an applebees which made it even better! All three of the houses were totally different, each giving a totally different scare. The first one was very classic haunted house, where you feel like you go through a house with all of the classic moments, although very classic in feel there are some really cool effects, and the theme was very cool and stayed through. The second house was more scares on your senses which was my favorite! The third house was all acting and gross out scares, made me regret my dinner a bit, but it was cool to see never the less! People should see this, it is a good night of entertainment, laughs, and screams. These people are really good and what they do, and work really hard for it.

WOW! Every year this haunted house gets better. All three have been improved from last year and the level of detail still amazes me.

I totally agree with Haunted Attraction Magazine, this is the #1 "Must See" haunted house in America, you MUST go there!

Don't bring your kids under 10, this haunt is way too scary!

This year's haunts are even more detailed than last year. I love that they don't sit back and rest on being a great haunt, they add more and change things up. This year's is the best I've ever seen! With three haunts it's at least a hour of thrills and I personally loved Torment the best. The detail in the other two haunts and scares is ridiculous but the surprises don't stop in Torment. Just crazy cool! They earned every bit of that number one ranking. Loved it!!!

This haunted house never fails to amaze me, we go every year and they get me every single time! I suggest this place to everyone I know, you won't be disappointed. If you aren't screaming you're laughing, it was such a great time

Had a great time. while waiting in line, we were randonly chosen and given a free Pizza Hut pizza to eat while in line !!! How great is that!!! We also meet the owner of the haunt while in line, and talked to him and a little about their operation. The lines moved very fast. The haunt has great detail as always and awesome actors! ... thats why we keep going back.
