Located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Ripleys Haunted Adventure draws huge crowds in the month of October as hordes of the living come to get scared by hordes of the undead. Just inside the entrance to the haunted house is an excellent prop, the Headless Horseman. Great addition to the haunt as people wait in line to enter. A unique entrance to the haunt. You pile into a steel cage and the cage slowly rises to the top. From there you are met by a sinister being and directed to the entrance of the haunt. The haunt itself was very well thought out and put together. There were plenty of "Live" action and actors inside to interact with the group. You went through as a group, usually 5-7 people per group. It is pitch dark in some area's but it is easy to navigate. Tip: They will try to sell you a fiber optic light to help you get through the haunt. When you need it the most, you are instructed to turn it off inside the haunt. One thing missing this year from years past. The "Monster Parade." On Fridays and Saturdays in October, at 6:17 pm, the monsters in all their costumes would meander up the Parkway from the Star Car Museum to Ripleys and interact with the patrons waiting to get in or standing around watching Stumpy scare people walking by. The parade is no more. All in all, well worth the money.
That looks like a great way to get in the haunt. Was it a long wait during october?
ReplyDeleteIt was very unique, and yes, very cool way to begin the haunt. On Friday, there was a crowd but the line went quickly.
