Spent yesterday night at Thrillvania Thrill Park in Terrell, TX. Left from Shreveport at around 7:30. The drive was over 2 hours, we got there near 10 pm.
Upon arrival, you are charged $5 for parking. I was a little upset there was a parking fee, I don't think haunts should charge for parking.
For two of us, it was $64.50 to be able to enter all parks. Not too bad.
We first went through The 3D Haunt, Labyrinth of Terror. It had amazing 3D effects, I was EXTREMELY impressed with the 3D effects and most of the actors in there were fantastic, with a few exceptions. Overall, I loved it, but the walk through was VERY short- maybe 5 minutes.
We then went to Verdun Manor. The que line, which they call an attraction, we very well set with a few actors here and there. It was great BECAUSE there was no wait, so it did seem like an extra attraction, but later in the season when you are stuck waiting in there, it will be nothing more than a set que line, I just don't see why they would call that an attraction.
Verdun Manor itself was pretty good. It wasn't nearly as good as I had heard, unfortunately. It was severely understaffed, we maybe saw 5-6 actors in the whole attraction... but it was designed very well, and overall I liked it
Next, we went to the Thorn Hall. The wait was 20 minutes despite we were the only ones in line- must have been some hold up inside, but it was NOT worth it. It was just a black maze... the walls had spiky material all over them, and it hurt to touch them, and since it was completely black, you had to use your hands to feel. There mustve been a lot of static electricity because i got big ole shocks two times from the curtains in there. THE ONLY SCARY PART WAS WORRYING ABOUT BEING SHOCKED! It was very disappointing.
Finally, we went to the Granny Lupus show. The effects were mediocre, and the show was terrible. Not just bad- terrible. It was a big waste of time. Luckily we didn't wait for it, because if we would have, i would have been PISSED.
Overall, its not a bad haunt, but its been on Travel Channel and in top haunts lists, it just doesn't deserve that AT ALL! I had a fun time, but had i waited for long periods of time, i would have been extremely disappointed.
Not worth the 2 and a half our drive, barely worth the $64.50 (it's iffy), and the parking fee just kind of aggravated me.
Anyone else been here? What do yall think about it?
