So prior to opening there were numerous 'tips' to the State Fire Marshal about our event... They've been on our back for weeks now. Our opening weekend we had fire marshals on site through operation both Friday and Saturday nights because there were so many 'anonymous tips'... And the real kicker; just today our local London OH Fire Marshal (who has been awesome), implied that the numerous 'tips' coming the past weeks have been from a single IP address. So they connected the dots, and are no longer on our backs...
In addition, as an entirely new haunt we had 180 reviews averaging out to two stars on Facebook... before we ever opened our doors to the public.
We've minded our own business since day one. Worked hard to get our show up and running. I don't even know where people get the time to engage in ridiculous acts like this... Never had these problems in Florida either, got along great with other haunts. We all had the mentality down there that 'competing' haunts pull patrons from the same demographic, and it only makes sense to work together to increase awareness.
Anyways, pretty disappointing stuff...
