When this maze is full of talent, like on weekends and summer, it is rockin'! Other times, its too big for its own good. - Joseph Catlett

IT WAS AWESOME. pretty scary the first time. the props are AMAZINGGGGG. especially the room with the frakenstein thing and the hall of mirrors. i dont know why but the werewolf part ALWAYS scares me. I have no idea why. Overall, its pretty cool, loads of fun to take girls into. (they hold on to you like crazyyyy. haha.) but unfortunately, sometimes, there aren't enough scareactors and then its boring. I love how horror nights puts awesome themes in it. i give, 9 and a half/10. - Lucas Lee

I rarely get scared. I am a big horror fan and nothing surprises or shocks me any more. If I had a date and gets easily scared, this is the place to make her (I'm a guy so my dates are always female) grab on to you like there is no tomorrow. Otherwise, my one time there, I just went through the maze and did not get scared at all. Halloween Horror Nights is a different story. - Danilo Francisco

A little scarry, great for Halloween time not so much the rest of the year. - Erik Avila

Nothing special, some fun effects but really just a fairly useless walk through attraction. - Jacob Sundstrom

don't go with your girlfried, she will find it too scary - A. P.

A o.k. walkthrough that is a different experience every time. The attraction is at its best when there are many scare actors. The sets inside the attraction are well done and the scare actors do their job well. Though not a must see attraction, this attraction rarely has any wait and is worthwile to see the props and to get a kick out of watching other people getting scared. It takes about 5 minutes to complete this walkthrough. Try this attraction any time since waits are non existant. - Manny Barron

This way pretty fun. It was scary in parts, but not too bad. - Chloe !
