I was there Saturday night and had a really great time. My favorite mazes were Last Laff and Defex (temporarily lost hearing in one ear) followed by Dead Inn and The Asylum. Last Laff had 2 great scareactors working the line outside. It was hysterical watching them.
I was really looking forward to Fury, but I also found it very disappointing. I think that if you’re going to have a maze themed around an experiment to make super soldiers, make sure you put scareactors in the maze that look like soldiers. No offense to the scareactors who were in there, but most just didn’t fit the part. There also weren’t that many of them and that left large, scare free sections of maze. This maze has a lot of potential. It was just the second night, so I hope they get this maze together. My advice would be to pull some of the biggest, most intimidating people that they’ve got and put them in there.
Camp Killauee also had a lot of potential, but it didn’t do it for me. The new area was nice, but the setup just didn’t work. There were areas that were far too large to work for scaring. Most of the time, the scareactors just got lost in the setting. In one section, there’s a “scare window” almost 10 feet off of the main path. There’s no way the person stationed in there could catch anyone off guard. Saturday night was completely overcast, which caused the sky to be lighter than normal (almost like a full moon). This maze might benefit a lot from a much darker night.
I have to give the park credit for keeping the lines moving at a nice pace while at the same time spacing groups out in the mazes. I don’t think we waited long than 15-20 minutes at the most. I never noticed any of the lines backing up really bad.
I’m hoping to go back a couple more times this season!
