Frightland

Admittedly, I am a tough critic when it comes to haunted attractions. I’m not easily impressed. I work at a location that is really, truly haunted and lived in an actual haunted house and have had the crap scared out of me by things I’ll never be able to explain. Frightland, however is highly entertaining… especially when you visit with people who DO scare easily. That makes it fun! We arrived on a Friday night (October 16^th to be exact) around 6:30pm and it wasn’t that crowded yet. We purchased only the INDOOR attractions. I had been on the Hayride years ago and it was very good. I just didn’t feel the need to do it again. Plus… it held the LONGEST WAITING line. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait more than 10 minutes for each attraction. Getting there early was key! The actors, make-​up and effects were all very well done I thought. I didn’t like the fact that the actors can actually grab and touch you. That was disturbing… but effective in some of the «scare tactics». My favorite attractions were the Attic (if you’re afraid of the dark… do NOT go here… LOL)! Next was the Idalia Manor (spelling?). One of the reviewers mentioned getting sprayed in the eye with «water»…which was supposed to be blood as part of the display (I think it was in the Manor)…but the same thing happened to me. There were also areas of the walls in some of the attractions (including the «Attic») where you got electrically shocked… it happened to me twice, at two different locations… while trying to feel my way around in the dark. I’m hoping it was part of the attraction and not some malfunction because it gave me quite an uncomfortable jolt. I was very disappointed in the Zombie Prison and that was the longest wait in line we had. The costumes and make-​up were great, but there weren’t many big scares. If you’re expecting «The Walking Dead», you’ll be disappointed. I wasn’t too impressed with the Barn either. But again, props to some of the displays, actors and make-​up. We didn’t do any of the carnival rides but we did try some of the games (all fixed and expensive to play) but I have to say that the funnel cakes… were delicious! In fact, I’m craving one right now! We purchased two t-​shirts at the gift shop (more like a gift ‘shed’) but at $ 15 each… very affordable. I am looking forward to going next year. It’s close to home and very entertaining. Hopefully the management/​staff of Frightland will read these reviews and maybe tweak some of their attractions to make them even better for next season.

We came from Philly not really knowing what to expect. This place is big and there’s lots to do! We did all 8 attractions. As adults without children, we enjoyed things overall. The hayride is more of a wagon ride, no hay on the wagon at all, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing; some folks are allergic. That said, the hayride was fun and well done. Things that stood out were: the actor’s position inside the kitchen (in Idalia Manor), the doll room (Idalia Manor) and the zombie prison (one specific mask was really fun on one of the zombie actors). I’m pretty short and one of the props sprayed me in the eye pretty hard with water, leaving me 50% blind so that was annoying. VIP pass was a good buy.
We went on their last night, so maybe they were tired, but the actors seemed bored. Lots of the dialogue was «boo.» In some rooms (near and in the saloon) 3 – 4 actors were just hanging out and talking. My group came through and it was like we walked into a regular (really dark) bar and were overhearing some strangers have a normal conversation. I’m what most people consider an easy scare. Jumpy and on edge the whole time, usually. I was relaxed and cool as a cucumber, with only one person getting me. A guy in a tunnel who made a lot of noise. We had fun, but I’ll try some other places before I head back here. This one was probably better suited for people with kids who want a relatively ‘fun, kid friendly’ night.

Went for the first time to any of these types of places with a group of 30 yr olds, was fantastic. First off if Fri or Sat get the VIP pass, for an extra 15 $ your wait is never more than a few minutes and some of these lines were looong otherwise. Idalia manor is great, lots of surprises but the decorations and scene setups were creepy. i figured the haunted hayride would be lame and for 10 yr olds (under 12 not even allowed actually), but that was a lot of fun and creepy as well. i was expecting 2 attractions to be good while the rest lame, it was the opposite and was indeed fun and creepy.
the VIP pass also gets you unlimited amusement rides which were on the smaller side but still a nice changeup from the haunted attractions. Zombie Prison was the lamest, but anytime you are separated from people in pitch black its always creepy.
it was great, i would go again next year.

I’ve been to this place twice, 2011 and just in October 2013 and I would definitely recommend Fright Land. 8 attractions for $ 35, a few carnival rides for fun, some carnival food=a fun night outdoors with friends and family!
My first time was awesome, I guess because it was new to me and I didn’t know what to expect. Great actors, makeup and scenery. Because the attraction is situated on acres of open land you get that eeriness that’s necessary for a scare.
This year I went with the same family members plus a cousin who went for the first time so I was more excited to have fun with her and see her reactions. I don’t think I’ll go again anytime soon unless that change things because I now know what to expect so there’s no thrill.
One major thing I’ve noticed this year was that there were so many more people, I guess it’s become very popular. The wait in the lines were very long compared to the last time I was there in 2011, so I suggest you pay extra for the VIP pass, it’s worth it! Also make sure you keep your pocketbook/​bag in the car… you can’t bring it in. I had to walk all the way back to my car to put it in the trunk.

Went here for the first time with my husband and teenage daughter. I don’t do scary but promised my family I would ‘face my fears’. Sadly, they held me to it and off we went. When you walk in, there are a few carnival type rides and games. Nice if you have little kids (or big kids like me) who don’t like anything too scary. There are also a few places to grab a bite to eat or drink.
The attractions were awesome; we did the entire package which was all 8 attractions (4 indoor, 4 outdoor and the rides). The price was around $ 30. I think it was worth the money. The attractions were scary and the indoor attractions are VERY dark so you basically bump your way around until you reach the end. I loved the haunted hayride. Scary but fun. In all, I would recommend this place to families with older children. Great family fun evening for us.

I have been to just about every Haunted House on the east coast in the past 25 years so I feel i am very qualified to review these attractions. I will review all that i have been to so look for my reviews everywhere. I plan my OCT each year around haunted Houses. I am very fair in my reviews as well and feel they are accurate. This review is for Frightland. Overall there are some good things about this place but not enough to out weight the bad. they had me fooled at one point but read on. We traveled about 110 miles to check this place out. Upon arriving they had literally 1 metal detector for everyone to go through and with bus loads coming in it was a bit of a wait just to get it. We actually paid $ 45 for a VIP pass which also included unlimited rides which were only about 6 rides or so. Ok now on to the houses. I will try and give a brief description of each house. First was the attic, this was a HORRIBLE house it had maybe two scares in it. It was literally 5 min of walking around crowded walls in the dark, pretty bad but yes it does get better and unfortunately back to even worse if that is possible. Next was the haunted barn, this was the third best attraction there and I actually had a bit of fun inside. Still pretty short but fun none the less, some nice little scenes inside. Third was the Idalia manor, this was my second favorite thing of the night with even better scenes and scares than the barn. Things were starting to look up at this point and i was thinking finally a decent haunted attraction this year. Then things took a turn for the worse. We entered the Reedy point prison. THIS IS LITERALLY ONE SCENE PASSED OFF AS AN ATTRACTION!!! Seriously literally one scene that lasted maybe 2 min. I really thought it was just the first start point to the prison haunt and then we walked out HHAHAHAHAHAAHAH What a joke DON’T pass this off as an attraction. So we walked out on to what was the best part of the night. the hayride. They had to make up for the last garbage they laid on us. The hayride was actually good, lots of great props and they spent some cash on it, one scene had a huge tree monster and the hay cart actually shook. i was pleased with this and then yet again things got even worse than before. For the final Haunted Woods, Phobia and Ghost town i could not tell where one ended and one began, they were all like 3 min each with just a couple rooms, i didn’t know if i was just walking to an attraction or on the haunt. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. I left rather disappointed but due to the lack of decent houses in the Northeast i gave it a three star rating. In conclusion if you go here just get the three haunt pass for the bar, the mansion and hayride, the others are terrible, some of the worst i have been in and they should be ashamed for passing them off as separate attractions. SHAME ON YOU FRIGHTLAND.

I have been here several times including in 2010 and it has always been one of my favorite haunted attractions! Always a good place to go and they have changed up the themes throughout the years. You also get entertainment while waiting in line.
