Halloween Haunt

I actually feel really badly when I write a negative review but the HALLOWEEN HAUNT is definitely not worth it. I came with friends for the Grand Opening and we were really disappointed. In the 5 hours that it was open (7−12am) we only managed to get through two haunted houses (totally not scary) and rode two roller coasters.
First let me start with the haunted houses. The haunted houses were not scary at all. Wonderland has everyone walk in right behind the people in front of them so you see the haunted people jump out at the person in front of you. Then when the same person jumps out at you, you don’t get scared at all. It was as if we were just walking through a dark house with nothing there to make us scared. Talk about BORING!!! We waited an hour for that? Are you kidding me?
I went to the Haunted Farm a few years ago and it was much better than Wonderlands Halloween Haunt. At the Haunted farm the haunted houses are actually scary. They allocate a gap between groups so everyone has the opportunity to get scared while walking through. They also have a guarantee where they allow guests to come back if it rains or they are not able to get through each of the haunted houses.
Second, we only managed to get on two rides. I have to say the Leviathan is a great roller coaster but how are you supposed to get on a good amount of rides or go through all the haunted houses if the wait time is over 1 hour per attraction? That is ridiculous!
The entire night we felt like time was against us and we were unable to do everything we wanted to do. I really think Wonderland should open earlier for this event. If this event continues to open at 7pm, it truly is a waste of time.

I always have a hauntingly good some at Halloween haunt! My advice is to prepare yourself before you go! Know that you might not get the extreme scare that you are looking for but that you still might get spooked. C’mon it’s just a bunch of teenagers dressed up as zombies and clowns, how scary can that really be right? Of course if you’re afraid of rides you will get a good thrill out of it.
Word to the wise — dress WARM. Don’t forget gloves. I know we are Canadian but rollercoasters are really cold at night you guys.
Also I have to admit sadly the amount of ghouls running around the park has significantly decreased since past years. One of my favorite parts is getting scared when you least expect it and I was not feeling the scares this year. Amp it up Wonderland!
Don’t forget to hit up Tiny Toms while you’re there too, those mini donuts are just too good!

I get way too excited about amusement parks, waterparks, playgrounds, anything kids are into basically — so I definitely got way too amped for this adventure. I even made the BF shell out for the Frightlane upgrade so we wouldn’t have to wait in line for the mazes (plus you get access to extended rooms in some of the mazes). First hitch in the plan was learning that we couldn’t wear our coordinated Pocahontas and John Smith outfits (even if we didn’t wear masks or make-​up). Next we find out that parking is $ 20. Oh and the parking situation is a complete wreck, no personnel helping you find empty spaces.
But whatever, we’re looking forward to the mazes and our line by-​pass. I will def recommend you buy Frightlane because otherwise, you could be waiting for 30 minutes to 2 hours for a maze. Paying the extra money meant we waited 0 to 10 minutes. The mazes themselves were umh… not impressive. Just some people dressed up in lame outfits waltzing around poorly made sets. We weren’t scared most of the time. The only two cool ones were Louisiana Screamers and The Ruins (located right next to each other).
The regular rides had long lines. And the place was packed. I really hope they improve the mazes but I doubt they will given the popularity regardless of quality. We will fo sho not be coming back next year. Big waste of money and time.

I did NOT enjoy my time over there! I wasted 45 dollars and good thing I did not buy HAUNTLANE (similar as FASTLANE) for 50 dollars extra it would have been total 107 dollars.
Parking is expensive cost 20 bucks to park just for measly 5 hours (Halloween Haunt event only opens at 7 pm to 12 am).
Security was unable to control vast number of people at the gate. People keep on cutting lines and no organize lines all of them are scattered to get tickets then go back to other long lines just to get in.
Once I went in and found all of the haunted sites/​the amusement rides are at least 1 hour wait to get 3 to 5 minutes ride/​walk.
I am deaf and no thrill for me to see anything in that Haunted place. I screamed at the staff and they pissed their pants. NOT ME! They often tried to scream at me and I cannot hear and nothing really scares me. Their costume looks not frightening. Their inner decoration is plain… its like they rushed and build it for few days without a lot of interesting lighting effects/​props.
My deaf friend and I swore we never go there again and its damn boring. Also it was too dark for us to communicate.
Just give you advice go to Screemers at Exposition and it is 10 times better!
(No interpreter for Halloween shows, no discount for the deaf, no refund, and no return stamp if once you leave the gate.)

I love my Halloween Adventure at Canada’s Wonderland as it turns into a Nightmare during October.
I can now shoot zombies and makes them shed blood instead of shooting dragon at The Guardian. FYI I got the highest score for my group.
White Water Canyon becomes a corn maze infested by «Cornstalkers». Scream!
How about Club Blood or Blood Shed and more of those scary mazes?
Fun to hear young girls screams… I just scream along. Or my Unilocal friends laughing at us screaming our heads off!
Fright Pass for $ 40 might not be necessary as the lines moves fast.
Trust me, it is not that scary… …
For management: if there is a little more lighting effect so I can see how scary those ghosts were would be awesome!
