      It’s supposed to. It’s called a laser swamp and when used with low lying fog, the effect is even better! Actors can hide under it and get amazing scares.

      The one and only small area of improvement I can see that they should remove PennyWise. Everything in that amazing attraction seems unique and custom made just for them. That’s what makes it magical. Pennywise is a scary clown and they’ve built an impressive scene there but it’s from a movie and it’s in danger of being “Played out” if it isn’t already. Remove him and the 9.9 score goes to a perfect 10.

    I loved ALMOST everything about this place! The atmosphere was perfect for each room, the scares from just the animatronics were all spread out so that there was always something to scare you around each bend, and the design of everything was just amazing and terrifying!
    The only thing I didn't like, and it went on for WAY LONGER than I cared for... the circus areas... I... I have Coulrophobia, or calmly known as the fear of clowns... While I was highly uncomfortable, and even slightly panicked during this portion of the video, if I were actually there, I don't think I'd have made it past the first 3 minutes in there.

    This was amazing! Better than Halloween Horror Nights. The use the animatronic very well and the scenes are fantastic. I prefer the walkthrough without the actors. I also really liked that there was not a lot of blood and gore for no reason---the scenes were well done, and very well coordinated, the animatronics and images worked together and made sense. I wish they have given the scenes and the larger props more screen time, they seemed to be rushing through. I would have enjoyed seeing more as this haunted house was marvelously done!

  • @DarksladeDiaries
    @DarksladeDiaries Рік тому +2

    Like it so much better without the scare actors. The sounds made by "scare actors" and the sounds of the attraction are so dynamically different, and to me, just takes away from the immersion not to mention all the hard work that goes into the atmosphere. I'm probably in the minority here, but jumping out and shrieking after awhile just becomes annoying. And in truth, it's not a scare, it's a startle. Again, this is merely my opinion.

    In my opinion, the animatronics are pretty cool. However, the overall experience for me was boring. It's not scary at all and needs more fog to mask the animatronics and hide them a bit and some live actors. I would give it a 5 out of 10
