I've been coming here for longer than I can remember. Have brought lots of friends and always enjoyed it. It's sad it's gone down hill. They're definitely overselling "6 attractions" The elevator from Noah's ark is part of an attraction. Not an attraction. I was also very sad to see the maze is now a separate cost. It used to he where we would have fun looking for the way out and discussing the scares. Oh. Since those are gone, guess that's not needed.

There definitely appeared to be a staffing shortage. I understand they're all volunteer, but after reading their volunteer page, I completely understand. Read it. I wouldn't gather 15 of my organization's people to volunteer for $150 donation. Especially since it seemed there were only about 20 actors. (Cost is $23. Slow night estimate ~1,000 people. $23,000 a night to donate $150?) This is also the ONLY section of their website that references any charitable giving. I thought they used to donate all proceeds to charity.

The actors that were there were good. Sorry, nothing about you, just not enough. Probably a pretty bad night for all of you too.

A major problem with haunted houses is timing. For the first half hour we were in line outside, we barely moved. We thought VIP was maybe holding it up. So then, the line really started to move. Went from standing basically in the first of 4 line sections for half an hour to making it to the door in 15 minutes. Should've been a red flag. My opinion is they opened the doors late so we were actually just moving up as people moved closer together, then they flooded it. The first two parts had decent scares but fairly straightforward pathways that really did encourage free flowing walking and decent scares. The farther you get inside the more complex the rooms and paths in the room get. Sounds great in theory right? Nope. If you don't balance the rooms that slow people down with actors to slow them down or move them along, you get the kill factor(pun intended) for a haunted house. The line after the line. We went at a modest pace, the group behind us caught up. We let them pass. We then caught up to every single group in front of us. Then, every single group behind us caught up. So, we completed the last half of the haunt single file, not scared at all just wanting to leave. Wanna know how bad it was, the 6 yo behind me kept telling every actor that tried jumping out you're not scary and you need help. I also laughed as his mother was telling him it was more expensive because they skipped the line In my head, I was just thinking well, you're waiting in line now.

Skip the food stand. I saw they had some nice looking hot dogs, nice and plump. I love me a food stand hot dog. I was there only shortly after dusk and they served me a hot dog that looked left over from the previous night especially when I could see the others.

This is a 1 star review. The second star is a bonus for past performance but does not guarantee future results.
