    To start the night, unfortunately, I had to leave my partner behind as she is unable to partake in…read moreadventures requiring much walking these days. We're glad we did because there really isn't a heads up that you will be walking quite a distance within the mazes on the grounds of the National Rail Museum. I'll have more to say on that later. I had the Fast Pass, and I would DEFINITELY recommend it. If you look at many other reviews you'll see complaints about the lines, but this is an urban attraction, if you don't expect lines you aren't basing said expectations in reality. I arrived and walked directly to board the train. The train started moving with some strobe effects and a couple of actors came out to interact with the crowd. At this point, as a former theatrical group executive director, I admittedly started judging the level of these improv actors as higher end amateur. They were competent, don't get me wrong, but I felt a lot of the interactions felt kind of shallow. I think this may have to do with the amount of under 16 year old traffic that the attraction tends to receive, and these actors seemed to be working to keep it "family friendly." After the creeping train ride, you are sent through a forest maze the "Depths of Darkness." It's a pretty solid maze with various terrains and dioramas of decaying city and graveyards. There were a handful of live actors going for generic jump-scares, but as it will be throughout the attractions, my traveling solo seemed to throw their timing. The journey felt as though it was about a mile as you weaved back and forth. It would be EXTREMELY difficult for anyone with mobility issues to get through parts of this area with anything more than a cane (part of why my partner had to pass, as she's currently stuck using a rolling walker). That's not really an issue, but I'd definitely make the suggestion that they add a warning for anyone with mobility issues in the future. It was enjoyable, but I could see adding a little more effect lighting throughout this portion of the attraction, and I would work on figuring a way for the live actors to be more interactive for frights. After the haunted forest I once again came to a crossroads where I got to choose GA or Fastpass/VIP. The Fastpass/VIP path led to an outdoor lounge area that normally has concessions, and a bonfire. I was informed that the concession group didn't show up either. That was unfortunate, but understandable. After a quick rest I decided it was time to head towards Blackthorne Manner. Again, I got to "skip" the line, which was definitely substantial, although when I got the end of the VIP/Fastpass queue it was very confusing as the security (dressed as security) wasn't the most attentive to his job further than he knew he had to direct groups where to go. I wandered back and forth up the queue line confused for a few minutes before he finally asked me if I was alone. I also question the fact that this wasn't a stylized character, but someone wearing an orange security windbreaker, directing the groups into the manor's courtyard. Once inside the courtyard, the beautiful horror façade that one can see on the website, I was greeted by a stylized character who definitely was grasping for something to say to the 6'9" 450 lbs solo roller, and it definitely took him a minute to even come up with a generic response (again improve level, medium-high amateur). He let me into the house, laughing, and passing along a low clearance warning as I ducked through the door. Blackthorn Manor, the home of this year's "Book of Lost Souls" attraction, is aesthetically gorgeous. The detail in the room décor is high level. Lots of solid woodwork, and various types of craftwork throughout. Solid wax depictions of corpses (animal & human) at different levels of decay, most of the lighting effects were either to create shadows or strobing effects. It was pretty easy to find my way through the winding passages of the single floor 'manor," and again the majority of the human actors were going for the jump scares and my soloness was throwing their timing off. One actor in a "bald maniac" mask popped out and all I could do was chuckle and literally say to him/her "You should be In make-up not a mask" and they just made a grunt and popped back into their hiding spot. After weaving through quite a few rooms I finally hit a series of rooms with EXTREME strobe. I lost count how many times I walked into walls before I finally found my way outside. It is a very cool attraction. I definitely see a lot of room for improvement. If you've never been, it's definitely worth the trek and the ticket. I was expecting a bit more from the actors as Thirteenth Floor Productions is nationwide, and the themes that were presented as the attractions didn't really come across at all. Also marketing makes this seem like multiple attractions, but it's be very hard to separate them.

    Last night I went to Terror on the Fox with my bf and it was literally terrible. I have never left…read morea review on yelp before and I downloaded the app and created an acct because it was that bad and hopefully this can help someone not waste their time. He has been going to this haunted house for 6 years and this was my second time going. We love haunted houses and we both agree we would never go back to this. We waited in line for 2 hours before getting to the train. We arrived around 8:30 and had our tickets online and we did not get on the bus until 10:30. The security is so strict and it felt like we were at the airport. None of the security people were kind and only barked at you to not have a vape because they had already confiscated so many. The 2 haunted houses were extremely short and we were out of the entire thing by 11:15. It was so not worth the wait or the money. This place needs to figure their shit out.
