Bates

Yeah I read all about Bates in the Hauntworld magazine. Im very excited to see a hayride/ haunt mix. Id like to see if its something I might want to pursue

[chuck weber]

Bates hayride

is so over the top. Best I have ever been on. HARD TO BEAT THIS ONE !!!! After you see it, you may realize how much HARD work it would be to make a hayride THAT great. It would be a massive undertaking. As far as opening your haunt and hayride, Take your time, cover all the bases, learn all you can from others here, STAY HUNGRY, make it the BEST you can. It's gonna be tough and alot of hard work, but I hope you succeed! good luck.

If you make it to the DFW area in Texas, I'm assuming you still are because Cutting Edge is on your list. We have about 10 excellent attractions/screamparks in the DFW area. I own Terrorplex, we'd love to show you around and talk. If you can stop by, email me at scott@terrorplex.com and we can make arrangements.

Penhurst Asylum has to be a must along with Bates Motel.

Also if you'll be in St. Louis check out Larry's new haunt at the Lemp Brewery, the location is just awesome and we all know what an amazing haunt the Darnkess is.

If i could make a suggestion while your in Alabama to stop by Sloss Fright Furnace. It's a haunt in a truly Haunted shut down furnace that was one of the top Pig iron/steel producers in america. Hundreds of people died there a truly haunted place. it was also featured on Ghost adventures and ABC's most haunted places in america. Check out Frightfurnace.com you have a great line up your going to learn a lot for sure!
