Overall Score: 9/10
Cast/Actors: 10
We would like to start off by giving every single Actor a HUGE Kudos! The Cast in each Haunt really gave it their all and did an amazing job during our journey through all Haunts. The Wickedness was turned up to maximum and we loved every bit of it! We were greeted by Characters the moment we made it to the ticket line. Below you will see a few photos of a couple Characters we ran into. We were really impressed and amazed with (Master Pyro-Keenan Meeks). Master Pyro's act was very impressive, and then his evil sinister laugh after his act was killer!!! The entire Cast really had a great extreme energy in every scene we ventured into. As we made our way though the Haunts we were not disappointed by anyone. Nightmare on Edgewood is a touch Haunt and each Character that we encountered made sure that everyone in our group got equal attention, and made sure that no one in our group was left out of being immersed and or interacted with in each scene. As mentioned earlier the entire cast did such a great job, but the Patients, and Doctors inside the Edgewood Sanitarium were our favorites. Shout Out to all the Actors who were working inside the Locker Room/Bathroom scene (Nurse Gertrude-Emilie Greene and Patient 1978-Chrissy) inside the Sanitarium. The Patients seemed to come out of nowhere and made sure that we knew they were there and that we may be their next victims, I mean Friends. :) As we made our way closer to the Entrance of the Haunt in the queue line we were greeted by one very mysterious Character that we really enjoyed, (Miss Chievous-Kathleen Hallibaugh) Miss Chievous did such a great job at creeping around and walking up behind Customers in line and jump scaring them unexpectedly. This was great!! She scared so many, and the Customers in line seemed to really enjoy this. There are so many Characters that you will encounter during your journey that we would have a list for days if we were to break down each one. Our apologizes goes out to (Bethel-Taylor Coleman) who greeted us at the Entrance to the House of Trepidation. We seemed to just walk right into her Home without knocking and she let us know how she felt about that. :) We would also like to warn you.....watch your back inside Conley Farm, as you never know who or what you may encounter around every turn!
Customer Service: 9
During our visit everyone was fairly Friendly to our Group. We only encountered one hiccup outside when we first approached the line for tickets and security. The Team Member doing crowd control seemed to get a little aggravated with us and others around him as he was getting everyone in line to the ticket booth or security check line. It was a very busy and crowded night so we totally understand Safety and Security are top priority! Once given our tickets many Staff Members walked by us and Thanked us for visiting and mentioned to us " Have a Great Time and Enjoy". The Staff inside the Gift Shop was very friendly as well.
Scare Rating: 9
The Scares in each Haunt we encountered came mostly in the form of a Jump Scare or a form of creep factor. We really enjoyed the scare/approach that many of the Actors delivered. Some scenes you venture through didn't necessarily need a scare. All the Characters we encountered did a great job as mentioned above at entertaining and or scaring each Member of our group as well as many of the other Customers we may have came across.
Atmosphere: 10
The atmosphere of each Haunt was AMAZING!!! There is so much detail that went into every single room that we ventured through! The details of each scene really made us feel like we were part of the scene and were not just guests walking through a Haunt. The Build/Design Crew did an amazing job with each Haunt! The moment you walk into the building from the outside Security area you are totally immersed into another world! The Entrance to the Haunt and waiting area was very awesome as well. The photos below show some shots we took while waiting to enter the Haunt.
Special Effects: 9
The effects in each Haunt blew us away! You encounter so many different special effects that we have not seen in other Haunts that we have visited. During your journey you will experience such special effects like fog, pneumatics, video effects, startle scare effects, lighting effects, and so much more! The Exit to the Conley Farm Haunt was by far our favorite one of all! We do not want to give away this surprise effect, but just remember to watch your step and hold on tight as you pass.... :)
New Scenes: N/A (This was Our first Visit)
Time Inside Haunt: 9
Our time inside each Haunt was not too long, not too short. With each Haunt having so much detail we just didn't want them to end honestly. We were inside the entire Haunt about 40 mins or more. The Actors in each Haunt do not rush you through their scene as most wanted to interact with us in some form or fashion, which we loved!
