Wow! If I could post a speechless review that’s what I’d post because I exited the attraction speechless thinking, «What utter garbage!» I thought Headless Horseman was the worst place I’ve been to but this place takes first place for worst place I’ve been to. Arrive early otherwise wait will be well over 2 hours though in their defense of that long wait time they had amazing crowd control system in place so each group was able to enjoy what dismal attractions they have. They have three attractions rolled up into one whereas once you enter you will be guided through all the attractions at one time so if you have to go potty you better do it before you get inside because you won’t be able to exit until the end of 3rd attraction. Then again if you are easily scared you may pee your pants. Why do I hate this place? Because it consisted of nothing but props, mechanical props and about a dozen bad actors with a few paid to just come out of hiding to scream in your face then hide again. We saw about 3 actors in the first attraction, Haunted Mansion, with most of the«scary» stuff(which wasn’t scary) being props and a few mobile objects. The second attraction, Fright Trail, was probably the worst with no exaggeration 4 actors on the long trail that was fairly well lit. They failed at a great opportunity to put low lighting and well placed actors on the trail who could have scared the bejesus out of people but it was not scary at all. Actors ran across the trail screaming and nobody really got scared. The final attraction, London After Dark, was no different than the first attraction where you enter a building with more bad props and bad skits. I saw several opportunities where actors could have hid and popped up behind my group to really scare the hell out of people but the lack of live actors left me wanting to be scared so badly that I even tried to scare myself with no luck. If this place cost a flat $ 20 cash I’d give them 2 stars at best but for almost $ 30 I felt ripped off because I’ve been on haunted roller coaster rides that scared me better than this place did. They also have a speed pass option to skip the line but save your money because this place is not even worth the general admission price.

This place was okay, it kind of dragged on after a while. The best part was the zombie trail. The wait was about 30 — 45 minutes to go inside, not so bad if you are dressed warm. You can purchase a $ 39 fast pass and you get to skip the line(I do not think it’s worth it). You will spend about 45 minutes in the house/trail, not bad for $ 25.00(adult ticket). Although you almost get an hour’s worth, I still think it is a bit overpriced. The drive up to the mansion was scarier than the mansion itself, someone needs to tell management to add lighting and signage before someone rams into a tree! So be careful driving up, go slow!

a.k.a. Kevin McCurdy’s Haunted Mansion. 36 Years of Fears? Maybe it’s time to hang it up. Staff not helpful(where do we go? answer: over there); unprofessional(smoking in costume for all patrons to see and smell) and plain not scary. Mean, really. Overpriced, understaffed and completely corny.
