FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: I heard there is always an excessive wait to get in, is that true?

No there is not always an excessive wait to get in and actually, most nights the wait is under one hour. Some nights are much busier than others. Please view our calendar before buying tickets for a ballpark estimate of a wait time on a specific date. Our longest wait has never exceeded 3 hours 15 minutes from the back of the line to the entrance of the haunt. This wait only happens on our busiest Saturdays between 8-9:30pm. Arrive earlier than 8pm for a minimized wait.

Our main lobby, which is part of our general admission line has been rebuilt from the ground up for the 2022 season to bring our patrons even more entertainment including an immersive environment complete with 360 sound and lighting effects, as well as live actor performances that are a true extension of the storyline and the haunted attraction itself.

As part of our lobby upgrades, we added short walls so you can rest your feet while waiting in line.

Lastly, if you do not want any wait time at all, VIP tickets are available and let you skip the general admission line in its entirety, no matter the wait time.

A. Absolutely not . . . and we ask that you not attempt to touch any of our cast members.

This is to give the triggers and scares within the next section time to reset. Please, wait patiently if this happens and do not touch the cast member. If you intentionally touch a cast member or push them when they are trying to slow your group they will break character, step aside and inform security. We will remind you of these things during a short safety briefing prior to entry.
