| - My experience had some technical difficulties. Plus... I really wasn't that scared.
Here we go, Freakling Brothers. I was really looking forward to this. I went last night with a friend and my brother. We sprung for the $30 pass to get us into all of the houses. Well, we had driven this far, why not? First they force you into a group photo on a green screen so they can try to hawk you pictures at the end of your night. You also get pics taken IF you go through Gates of Hell. Not any of the other houses.
We started at the "Circus" themed house. All right, the actors do it right. You get all the "rules" told to you by the actors before you go in. They're fun. We tried to make them give us crap and they were willing to oblige. I don't remember a whole lot about the Circus one except for the ball pit. THAT was interesting, never seen that before. At the end we ended up waiting and waiting for them to let us out. Then a stage-hand type person with a flashlight told us one of the actors got hurt and he had to escort us out. AT LEAST they offered to let everyone who got to that point go through again free of charge. We decided not to because we wanted to get to the other houses before they closed.
Off we went to the Vampire themed house. We waited in line for, I kid you not, 30 minutes to get into this house. Now, here's my issue and something I think they should do to fix the wait time. Ask people how many are in their party, if it's just two, try to send those people with two (or three) other people. It's okay to go through a haunted house with strangers. Come on, everyone becomes friends when you're getting scared in the dark anyway. So, that's my one big ding is that they kept sending two people through at a time if that's how many were in their group. ANYWAY - the Vampire one was O.K. not really my favorite. The end was not spectacular... moving on.
Gates of Hell - you have to sign a waiver, you have to understand foul language will be used, you have to realize you will get shoved/touched/pushed/etc. by the actors. OK. Got it. We signed and waited. Finally our turn arrived. I don't want to give too much away since there are many out there who will want to be scared to begin with, but I will divulge a bit. First off, myself and my friend did NOT think this was that bad. Sure, they shoved us. Yes, my brother got pulled and flung up into a wall at one point (not hard). We all got shocked (yep, you WILL get shocked no matter what), and I was the lucky person to be trapped against the wall by the girl who has been licking people (ya, read the reviews, you'll see what I mean).
LUCKILY I had read the reviews and knew what was coming. I ASSUMED I would be the person in our party the girl would pick (she did). When she pushed me against the wall I put my hands over my face and looked directly at the wall. She said some stuff to me (honestly I don't remember because I was trying not to laugh). Here's the thing - it *maybe* would have freaked me out a bit had I not known it was coming, but I did. BUT, even then I would have prepared myself for something like this anyway. I don't think it would have scared me, or bothered me, BUT if she had LICKED me, well I probably wouldn't have been too happy. She did not lick me (but that may have been because I covered my face).
Overall Gates of Hell - The best of the houses. So, if you come here and you only want to do one house, do the Gates of Hell. You might as well as the other houses are tame. Even Gates of Hell wasn't that bad (at least for me). BUT, I'm not scared super easily, plus I know for fact these people can't *really* do anything to hurt me. But remember - they offer the safe word for that purpose. If you get scared, too scared, just yell it out. It's that easy.
I hope next year they can take it even further. I'd be willing to go back in that case.
