This was definitely a great experience. I drove from Milwaukee to see what all the hype was about. I met with some friends, and we pretty much just hung out in the parking lot by the cars and sent a "scout" every 15-30 minutes to go check on the status of the number calling for the line.

When it finally came time for us to mosey into the waiting area, I was really getting into the choice of music. This definitely gave you an adrenaline booster just before heading in.

If I had a choice, I would have preferred a smaller group, so all the people had a fair shot at being scared. I worked for a haunted attraction for 6 years, so I was, of course, dead last. I enjoyed a lot of the scenes, and the music throughout. In a group of 8 or 10, usually the scare is done by the time the last 2-4 people come into the scene

I agree with some of the other reviews, stating that you didn't sense any of the other scares ahead of you, but there was one. Even with the sense of not knowing what's coming, each scene was doomed to a single scare (actor or animatronics). There seemed to be a few too many "dead zones" (pardon the pun). I'm guessing they were attempting to build suspense, or maybe they ran out of room in the floor plan, but I got a little bored. One effect or actor per scene really isn't going to cut it

Very scary and funny at the same time. The rooms are well designed and have a mix of live actors and automatic "pop ups" that scared the living daylights out of me!
Highly recommend this to anyone who wants a good scare!!!

There was a family behind us in line with about 7 kids, some looked as young as 4 yrs old..there were loud, kept hitting into us in line and trying to push forward, wehn we finally got to get ready to go into the haunted house, I asked the guy to please make sure we are as far away as possible, he said he couldn't do that, so wewere all ready to go in and the Family started complaining that they charged himtoo much so the guy took everyone out of line and then let me and my friend go through without them.

the haunt was just OK for me this year...there was only a clown outside while waiting and he wasn't scary at all, last few times I have went there were zombies outside, chasing you to your car and messing with you while you wait in line. Wehn we finally wnet through, i was really disappointed, I drive from Genoa City, WI to Mitchell ST in Milwaukee (about a 45 minuted ride) - I don't think I will be back again...also when we were walking through, it smelled like sewer. Most of the charaters were good, but it went by so quick, I forgot about most of it....

It started off where i went in line to get my tickets. As i approached the ticket line i was like "There is no way im waiting in this line". I got convinced to buy my ticket. I then went into a heated waiting room with consessions. In the waiting room i saw a weird guy on stilts. He was fun and gave everyone some excitment. After waiting for about 1 hour i got called into a cemetary. In there we lined up and got ready to go into the house. As we were lining up we got told jokes and had fun. Then the FUN BEGAN!!! The whole house was excellent but there were certain rooms in particular. The room that made me PISS MY PANTS was the torture chamber. Then my next favorite part of the house was that rat. He was amazing. The statue room was good along with the hellevator before that. THE WHOLE HOUSE WAS EXCELLENT. It was definatly worth 10 dollars..

This haunted "trail"/"hayride" was non-exsistant. We drove to Oshkosh from Appleton, we found the address and Hickory Oaks and there was nothing there...not haunted anything and no cars. It either is not at the address or it is not running this year

wow! that was even better the second time around. i new what was coming but i still got the bajeebees scqared out of me. defininately worth the second go. the detail in the rooms was awesome. there was a butcher room with creepy girls comign out of nowhere. and the best part is the vortex and clausterphobia walls. if youve gone already its definately worht a second go. its fun and its certain youll be scared right out of your pants.

After hearing all the hype on this place, all I can say is it was a let down...from an adult point of view. The trail was a nice walk but the actors were kinda listless, to the point of falling in front of you. I think a few might have gotten stepped on since it's too dark to even see your footing. We were impressed with the group system. No lines and people sitting around a huge bonfire. The techo music needed to go but then again it's aimed twords the younger crowd. after about 1/2 hour we made it in. I liked the entrance area and the first room but after that my expectations dropped. the actors were dressed in street clothes and rather boring. the scare factor was not there mixed with the crawling made it seem more like a fun house than a haunted house. Climbing through a port-a-potty, the crawling and the very tight hallways/stairwells turned me off completely.
