but the haunted tral and the haunted house. i believe that put alot of work into that. hands down the best attraction this place has it the 20 minute hayride through the woods. let me tell you my feelings about this place and its ranking. i have been going to haunted houses for my whole life and i really enjoy them i try to make it to 4 every october. i went to to check out whats number one in america and this was it. Almost perfect in every measurable way, it is simply not to be missed.
The Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride is simply brilliant. These flaws don't even amount to a fraction of the positives, and, for all effects and purposes, they can be wholly ignored. The theme is not really backed up by the actual location (there is no Norman Bates, and though there was an excellent opportunity to use the associated theme in many places, it simply wasn't tapped into), and the execution suffers from some very minor issues (we lost our way in the haunted house twice, but only briefly). Of course, the locale is not without some very minor flaws. Innovative traps and tricks, and creative use of music make this the perfect package.
BATES MOTEL PA FULL
Chock full of special effects, huge (I mean, HUGE) animated characters, and actors that are 100% interactive (we almost fell off the ride when they jumped on the ride and started touching and grabbing at people), this is the thing to see at Bates Motel. The house and the corn maze are both excellent specimens of their respective types, but the real gem from the three attractions is the hayride. You can oftentimes see the other groups, but you cannot reach them, making for a terrific helplessness if you happen to go down a different path than a few of your friends. About halfway, the maze becomes wooden, and paths branch off, while demented miners force different groups down alternate paths. The maze is convoluted and long, and is certainly not made only of corn. The corn maze is similar to the house, with a few tricks stacked on for good measure. That's the first time I actually screamed all season. Even stand-still props are placed with an obviously loving touch the spookiest moment for me personally was a meat locker where the temperature was actually lowered to a genuine chill, and a lunatic plowed through hanging bags full of corpsely body parts, screaming a with a bloodlust that was full of relish. The animatronics are also used expertly and make for great environments.
All this serves to intensify the fear, and makes for great atmosphere. In the house, your hair may be touched, you may be brushed or breathed on, they may even grab at your arm or foot. This frees up the talent to really cut loose, and it is a welcome change. The developers have obviously gone to great pains to indemnify their actors from retaliation, both physically and legally there are signs posted everywhere warning the client of closed circuit cameras and "at-your-own-risk" actions. They will also break the touch barrier, a highly unusual practice in this business. They are eager for the scares, and will follow well out of their designated territories. The actors are engaged, and seem to be genuinely enjoying plying their trade. Beginning with the "motel", you will feel a slightly different vibe here than at most attractions. My recommendation is to leave the hayride for last it is, by far, the single most impressive attraction we have seen to date, and deserves to be saved for last.īut we're getting ahead of ourselves here. The lines were long, but they moved very quickly in truth, we didn't wait more than twenty minutes for anything.
BATES MOTEL PA MOVIE
Gaggles of eager horror-mongers were spread out across all three attractions, along with a fire-breather, concession stand (reasonably priced, though we somehow lost ten dollars in our exchange there), and a movie screen playing a variety of trivia and special interest clips.
When we first arrived at the Arasapha Farm, we were greeted by an almost carnival-like atmosphere. I can honestly say the Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride was an excellent experience, and one I will be willing to make the three hour trip for again. It has been a long time since someone really shocked me to any degree beyond the "sudden jump" thrills of most attractions. In this trade, it is not often you are surprised after all, when you're in the business of reviewing scares, you get a little desensitized. Location : Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride
