Fear Fair

I was pretty excited about the proclamation that Fear Fair had just completed its biggest and best renovation yet. After last year’s adventure, I had high expectations. Unfortunately, Fear Fair did not meet them.
It seems Fear Fair has received a boost in popularity since last year, which lead to a 1.5 hour wait time for the Fast Pass (I think we waited a total of 30 minutes last year). In retrospect, the extra $ 5 didn’t really make anything «faster» this year.
About the first half of the place has been completely transformed and is very different from last year, which focused primarily on classic horror films. While the new sets are structurally very impressive (spared no expense!), I found myself wanting more.
Very few of the sets were populated appropriately. Once section in particular, modeled after the above-​ground mausoleums of New Orleans, seemed to go on forever — with only one actor in the entire area. Not exactly what I’d consider a «haunt».
The Walking Dead set was the most lively area of the place and, much like last year, the actors are very aggressive. My friend was pulled so hard by the back of her arm that she had already formed a huge bruise by the time we got back into the car.
I left feeling extremely underwhelmed, which isn’t exactly what you want from a $ 25 haunted house with a two-​hour wait time and a two-​hour round trip.
Looks like I’ll be finding a new place to check out next year!

I went to fearfair last night we had a group of four. The sent us in with a group of other people, none of us knew eachother. That wasn’t a problem. We were waiting in line for about 2 hours or so. Everything was fine. We got about half way through (we were all having a great time until, we got to the part with the guy on stilts (pyramid head) jump on two of our male group members knocking one of them down,(that has a back injury from work) slammed the other one into two walls and was choking both of them not at the same time obviously… it came out of nowhere. No one did anything to the (pyramid head) he went nuts!!! So the two males that were attacked got kicked out, then the guy at the front that takes your tickets, he was completely rood to us about the whole situation… and has the slightest clue on how to handle customer service. I’ve been going to fear fair for the past 5 years, I loved it. But it’s sad to say I WILL NEVER BE BACK. Our group members could have been seriously injured. I forgot to mention there was a 10 year old girl on our group. THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR CHILDREN! That was the worst time we have ever had and thank you fearfair for the lack of customer service. After all it starts with your customers or you wouldn’t be in business! !!! That’s all.

OK, I’ve been to lots of haunted attractions spanning several states. There are tons that I enjoy, yet I seem to always tell my friends that Fear Fair is my favorite. You can just tell they put in a ton of work in this place to try to make it as realistic as possible.
We’ll start with Hangar 17. This the first section of the haunt, and it is supremely intense. You will be grabbed and pulled through the beginning section with machine guns going off all around you. I even had a gun pointed right at my face at one point. Talk about unnerving.
Next is the Cinema of Fear. Fear Fair is known for recreating horror movie scenes with so much detail that it feels like you’re walking onto the set of the actual movie. Before you enter a scene, you’ll see one of those movie clappers that will say which movie you’re about to walk into. Just about every horror movie you can think of is represented: Friday the 13^th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, Jeepers Creepers, Hellraiser, Halloween, Scream, Saw, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. They’re all here.
There’s even a brand new Walking Dead scene that is just flat out awesome.
This year they tried out something new called «Myctophobia» on two nights. Get a load of these rules:
1. You must be over 18 and sign a waiver
2. You must go through alone
3. You will be touched, restrained, and sensory deprivations applied
4. You cannot speak
I went last night and it was the most intense haunted house experience I’ve ever had. I don’t want to give away too much, because the best part is having absolutely no clue what you are about to experience. If you know what’s coming it will just ruin it for you. I couldn’t recommend it enough for haunt enthusiasts & thrill seekers alike.
You’ve got to come see this place.
