Signage / Visibility / Location

It was really easy to find the haunt. The barn was located right along the roadside and there were people helping park the cars. There was also a large white sign on the opposite side of the road pointing to the haunt.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There wasn't really much entertainment. They did have a vending booth and a few guys walked around outside the barn in costume.

Length

We really didn't have to wait. The only thing that took long was deciding whether to go through the barn, corn maze, or hayride first! None of these events had a line when we were there. The lines started later at night when we left (around 9:30).

Actors' Performance

Most of the actors were pretty energetic. I was a little upset going through the haunted barn though. Our group was pushed a few times and didn't appreciate it (we thought the workers were not supposed to touch you). I was also upset with the corn maze. It was supposed to be haunted, but we only saw 1 person throughout the hour and 25 minutes we were in there. The hayride was not very scary either.

Appropriate For

11+

Summary

If the weather has been rainy, make sure you take old shoes to go through the corn maze! It gets a little messy.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Pretty easy to find. In what looked like an abandoned school or warehouse.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

We got there almost first -- so it was eerie being almost the only people waiting. Ticket system worked OK.

Length

We had a really short wait. During the tour, I kept wishing it would be over soon 'cuz it was LONG and SCARY!!

Actors' Performance

GREAT!! Scary scary scary. More industrial kind of set up, as opposed to dusty and eerie.

Appropriate For

12 & over

Summary

Worth the trip. Only thing is -- PLEASE don't station survey takers right outside the exit!! You're running out of the haunted house, all excited and still feeling thrilled and scared, and a teen with a clipboard starts asking "if you could rate this 1 to 5..." I mean, it took ten minutes and sort of deflated the experience. The same teens were asking the people who were waiting to get in the Haunted House the same questions ("How scary did you think this was last year?") Isn't that good enough?

SPOOKY!! It was fun sitting in an old abandoned barn to wait. There was a heater and hot chocolate to keep us warm.

Length

Not too long. They had a ticket system which worked fine because they called out numbers.

Actors' Performance

A great time. the house was set up splendidly, I mean it was really eerie and you could not tell you were in a regular old house. Liked the woods walk beforehand too.

Appropriate For

10 and over

Summary

While not downright SCARY, it had scary moments and was definitely decorated well. We drove 45 min to get there and it was worth it

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

easy to find

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

They used a ticket system which didn't work very well. For instance, we were #50. When it came time for #50 - #100 to get in line, the attendant would write the number on a chalkboard. If you HAPPENED to be looking across a big crowded gymnasium, you'd notice. Well, guess what, we didn't notice, so we were in line behind 30 people who bought tickets after us. Might as well just stand in line, if the alternative is sitting in a folding chair staring at a blackboard.....

Length

see above

Actors' Performance

actors were great, it was a spooky set-up. what was NOT great was the amoung of adult 'monitors' stationed in the house. a woman dressed in a sweatshirt telling you which way turn turn is not scary.

Appropriate For

any

Summary

get rid of the six or seven normal people in the attraction itself. there was nothing dangerous or confusing that warranted their presence, but it took away from the experience.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Few signs, but we found it rather easily considering we knew the area. It is next to New Berlin West High School.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Very little entertainment. Small pumpkin patch, cider, some music, scenes, the usual. Ok, entertaining enough I guess.

Length

Wait was about 20 minutes. They send small groups for maximum effect. The event took approx. 20-25 minutes. It's a corn maze, so your speed determines the longevity.

Actors' Performance

The actors did VERY well. They kept us on our toes and in suspense. You never know when you are staring right at an actor. Well done!

Appropriate For

I'd say 13+ (very little blood)

Summary

The majority of the maze is very low-cut corn, which at first takes away from the experience... but give it time. The weather and the moon will either heighten the suspense or take away from it. Lots of scares, several surprises, scarecrows and parking lot security. $5 is a steal! Great fun. We shall return again.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

If you know where the State Fair grounds are, then it's easy to find. Just look for all the lights and activity.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Zombie Trail- We had no entertainment other than basic creepy music. Our wait was outside, but there is a staging area in the pavilion. 3D Fear Factory- the wait was inside and not very long.

Length

Zombie Trail- Our wait was about 15 minutes, although we were told we would only wait 5 minutes. The event lasted approx. 20 minutes. The maze took the longest amount of time. 3D Fear Factory- the event lasted approx. 5 minutes.

Actors' Performance

The actors were into their roles. However, there could have been much more effort put into the overall experience.

Appropriate For

3D- all ages. Zombie Trail- 13+

Summary

The 3D Fear Factory is geared more towards the younger crowd, as it is not scary. It is entertaining, but not for $10. 3D effects are pretty cool.
The Zombie Trail is noted as having a "brutal fear factor", this could not be further from the truth. The zombie theme was well planned and executed, but the only scary part of the event was the maze, and only because it was pitch black and dead quiet.The anticipation of an actor jumping out heightened the experience, but there were NO actors in the maze! What gives?! Not worth $10 either. Better luck next year.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

It was easy to find

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There were refreshments in the area and also a band nearby.

Length

We waited about 15 minutes in line for the Zombine Zone Trail of Terror

Actors' Performance

The Zombie zone Trail had only about 8 actors in the event. They were not that scary.

Appropriate For

All

Summary

I wish that there were more actors in the Zombie Zone because it would have
been more scary. We were walking alone most of the time without any actors trying to scare us. The area where
the Zombie zone is has so much potential to do more with the area.
We expected to get scared and we
walked out disappointed.
The only thing scary was the price.

Signage / Visibility / Location

Not too overly difficult to find.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

AWESOME light show and music!! It helped pass the time in line.

Length

There was a significant wait to actually get into the house, but the show outside more than made up for it.

Actors' Performance

The ones that really put their heart into it did an awesome job. Some seemed like they were doing it for a class project or something, and weren't so good.

DEFINITELY a must see this year! I recommend EVERYONE to check it out!

Signage / Visibility / Location

Signs directing people to the fairground are adequate and once you're on the fairgroudns it's very easy to find.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Radio station broadcasting was cool. Actors outside did a good job. Vending was good.

Length

Wait times were pretty good, even though there was a pretty decent crowd. Event time was perfect... not too long, not too short. didn't have time for the haunt to 'get old', but went quick enough you didn't know what was coming next.

Actors' Performance

Great job! Stayed in character very well and very good job immersing you in the experience.

Appropriate For

11+?

Summary

Had a blast! Great haunt with lots of potential.
