| - POSSIBLE SPOILERS in this review. - Haunted Attractions.
All 3 attractions are located on a parking lot near the mall. It is not in the mall itself. This is a review for all 3 maze attractions. Had a Groupon for the even, and got VIP Fast Passes. We got to skip maybe 5 people in each maze. It was the opening Saturday. The people said it would pick up as the season went on, but I would be surprised if it did.
We've been to several other haunted house type attractions in town and this was the worst. It seemed as if a few kids got together, put up some plywood walls and tarps, and made these mazes, which are only 4-5 feet wide. So you're always smushed in so to speak. It makes sense since it exists on a small footprint in the parking lot.
The parking lot had some cars, but in the end we think those were all the employees cars.
There was only a couple of animatronic devices. The rest of the scary part was motion sensors that let out sprays of water, air, noises, sounds. And after that, it was a handful of workers in each maze. One was funny because it led you down one path, but you passed the same worker. So they double dipped on that one.
One maze was literally that, a maze. It had many paths and was hard to find the right path to proceed. We ended up at the start several times and the person in there scaring us had to tell us where to go each time. We finally got out.
Not much was scary. It all depends on how amped up the worker happens to be, how good they are at startling you at the right moment.
All in all, this is worth about $10, $15 VIP, max. My friend will be going to another one because she didn't feel this one was hardly anything.
All 3 mazes had open tops above head so you could see out when it was super dark. A couple of times the special effects kept you from seeing above though.
I know not to go to this one ever again. If you ever go once, you really don't need to return, no matter how much they say they "changed it up".
Go to The 13th Floor, or the one that was/is at Rawhide, or some other popular one.
I can see why there are multiple Yelp "locations" as they are possibly trying to rename it each year to keep not good reviews from stacking up. There should just be one "location" for this.
