Overall Score: 10/10
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 this Season! The Wickedness was turned up to max inside the Conley Farm for sure! We were excited to see that (Master Pyro-Keenan Meeks) was still around entertaining guests with his flame throwing device, this thing is so amazing and is a must see! Master Pyro's act was very impressive, and then his evil sinister laugh after his act is always killer!!! The entire Cast really had a great extreme energy in every scene we ventured into. Nightmare on Edgewood is a touch Haunt so be prepared, 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. There are a total of 3 Haunts inside Nightmare on Edgewood, each with its very own unique twist. The Cast inside the new Containment Haunt really creeped us out for sure during our entire Journey through the School Scenes. There are so many new Characters that you will encounter during your journey! Once inside the second Haunt - Charles's Revenge, you are sent into another world, one where you are sent into many different rooms of Dr. Belle’s evil inhumane medical experiments, where you will encounter many different psychopaths along your journey. Be sure to stick close to your group or you may end up being taken away to join them for Dinner! The third Haunt - Conley Farm by far has the Best Cast of Actors! We were greeted around every twist and turn by many different demented Farmhands and even overgrown Livestock that you could imagine! Be warned you.....watch your back inside Conley Farm, as you never know who or what you may encounter! Kudos goes out to (Nathan Terhune - Hilljack) for picking me up and putting me on his table to be castrated lol well almost... And (Tori Huffman - Momma) did an amazing job at herding us all around the Farm with Her cattle prodder :)
Customer Service: 10
During our visit everyone was very Friendly to our Group. 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 Gentleman (Aiden) 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 make you feel like you are part of the scene and were not just guests walking through a Haunt. The Build/Design Crew did an amazing job with reworking 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, and were redesigned. The photos below show some shots we took while waiting to enter the Haunt.
Special Effects: 10
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: 10
The Haunts have had many new changes this Season, and man did they blow us away!! Kudos to the Design and Build Crews!!! The Entrance to the Haunt has been completely redesigned to give a creepy Edgewood School look, the Queue line area was a little different in the way of new and old animatronics being added throughout as well. The Conley Farm had some AMAZING new scenes added that actually take you upstairs and add a whole new experience and level to the Haunt experience! We loved how once inside the upper level scenes you could look down below over the railings and see what was in store for you once you came down. This was by far our most favorite new scenes added! We hear more is instore for the 2023 Season and we can't wait to see!
Time Inside Haunt: 10
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! The paths inside each Haunt wind around and allow you just the right amount of time to experience each scene and interact with the Characters within.
