| - Don't waste your money!!
Went on 10/16 with four friends. This is our "girls night out' Halloween tradition. We have been to several others in the past including, Fear Farm, 13th Floor and, last year, Rob Zombie's Nightmare. All three were better. Comparing Scarizona to these is like comparing the fort you made in your living room to any Frank Lloyd Wright structure - no comparison.
Details: we purchased the "Fast Pass" online to avoid lines (which was a joke, there were maybe 12 people there in total, besides the actors).
*Cost = $30 each (minus $2 coupon, plus $2 online fee).
*Location - close to the East Valley which is exactly why we chose it - wanted to go somewhere a bit closer this year. Hard to find, dark, though, as the previous reviewer said, they did have parking helpers.
*Atmosphere - non-existent. We thought we were in the wrong place when we showed up. The website promotes a "carnival atmosphere" - there was NOTHING there. To be fair, it had rained hard that night, but they should have closed.
Instead, there was - no live music, no chainsaw gauntlet running, no other amusements whatsoever. The Beer/Wine place was open and yes, we needed that $5 Bud Light to drown our wasted money sorrows.
*The "Haunted Houses" - were a joke. The "blackout one" was actually lighter than the other one. No special effects besides blinking lights (if you've been to the other decent ones in town, you'll know what cool effects are possible).
MOST IMPORTANTLY - BE CAREFUL...the floors are uneven and there are STEPS!!! Which are NOT marked. One of my friends totally tripped, banged up her knees and hands. I fell on top of her and cut my knee and bruised it (this is where you step "up" to a metal floor/bridge. Seriously - who makes steps in a dark place with no notice. This is a liability and they are really lucky we were not really injured (and that we have more important things to do than sue them).
**Before we entered the second house, I spoke with a worker and one of the owners, Tracy, who apologized for the lack of entertainment (due to the "rain"), but who offered to have us back "VIP Style". While I appreciated her efforts, by the time we fell and got hurt in the second house, we wanted nothing to do with this place/people. Prior to the fall, I had asked Tracy if we could get our "fast pass" money back ($10), at minimum, as the park was clearly not making good on their promotions on line (music, food vendors, entertainment, etc). Tracey's response was "no, we are a corporation, you know." Thus, the "VIP" offer.
Sorry, given that the HHs are crummy and completely sub-par quality (for the cost, especially) and that you had the park open with no extra features - we would not waste our time.
And please, don't waste yours. We really wanted to support a new business, especially one located in the East Valley where we live, but the level of incompetence and irresponsibility with Scarizona is frightening...and that is about all that was!
**Refund our money, Scarizona...or at minimum, make sure you don't have uneven floors and "steps" where people can get hurt.
