2015 Haunt Visit

This is a blog post about my recent 2015 visits...
In this blog post we will review the haunts and post pictures of a behind the scenes tour.

I visited ValleySCARE 2 times this season and I had a blast.
First we watched the skeletones

Then we rode some rides and did usual Valleyfair stuff.

At 6:00 1 hour before the ceremony we got a little sneak of behind the scenes:

Then we headed straight to the ceremony.

After that we did The Chateau first.

Chateau was very nice in detail! I loved it! I was getting very excited about it during the summer but I was afraid it would let me down. It didn't. One of very few mazes that startled me. In fact during my second visit I might have screamed a little. But It seemed a bit shorter

Then Hellside.

I personally miss the old hellside. The new location is different, I do not like the new layout because it's pretty much the same zigzag/big room pattern. the acting was ok and I do not remember getting any startles. I hate giving bad reviews because every haunt has it's own flavor. But hellside just isn't the same.

Then Bloodshed.

(I did not take a pic of it so insert random haunt pic here:)

Bloodshed was neat for my first time going in. It wasn't as scary of traumatizing as I was thinking it would be (which is a good thing) it had a creepy feel and was pretty cool. It had some neat animatronics.

Then Asylum.

Asylum was decent for also being my first time. Had a few animatronics but I don't remember any actors trying to scare me.

Then Zombie High.

It had some pretty good talent. Some of the props and animatronics creeped me out.

Then Humane.

Humane Habitat was not one bit worth removing Camp Wekilou. That is all I have to say.

Then London.

All I have to say is the new theme is not worth it.
