Just visited Gatlinburg last month and toured the city area. Usually Ripley's Haunted Adventure has life to its business. Most often people are gathered outside and seated on the park benches watching the craziness that happens there.
Alas, this time, I was the only one seated on the park bench. No people really stopped by to investigate. In fact, there were zero employees at the ticket counter and no employees at the steps to entice or scare you to death.
I am almost certain that October changed the scenery and Ripley's was crowded.
Happy Halloween
