As a slider that worked there. Thank you for posting this for some good memories of what it was like. Since valleyscare is only kid friendly this year.
@@bessaroo2 Unfortunately, yes it did. Hopefully they bring it back next year, but who knows. I will be going down to Orlando in early October to go to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. I might check out Screamtown in Chaska when I get back.
@@rollercoastermotor1665 ScreamTown is amazing! I went in 2020 and it was great! Also check out Dead End Hayride in Wyoming, MN if you haven’t already!!
I was sadden cuz my son Phillip Boos couldn't do the Undertaker becuz the person said they had all their people. Cuz he didn't get his application in on time. Why apply every year since you have been there 10 yrs. So he found another place to work at. Then the boss from here called and asked him why he wasn't not coming back. He told him what the lady said. Here she was wrong. But after that he won't come back.
Thank you! This is at Valleyfair in Shakopee, MN just outside Minneapolis about 15 minutes from Mall of America. ValleyScare is what they call their yearly Halloween event.
I've never heard of a Squishmallow before reading this comment. I just googled it and it looks like it is a type of plush toy. Is that correct? I do not recall seeing these near the games area or anywhere else, but I also wasn't looking for it. I will definitely keep an eye out for these on my next visit and see if I can find any to put into my next video.
@@squid7566 Oh awesome glad you were able to get some. I'll definitely be on the lookout for those on my next visit and I will try to show off what I can in my next video.
This may sound weird but the first 10 seconds of the video sounds the World Trade Center videos I remember people talking and a guy say ain’t what day it is and where he is
Glad I went, with the cancelation of 2022 will see if it's back 2023... will see how many go this year to the family friendly change this year. Money talks.....
I am extremely glad I went as well. I also have a video of ValleyScare's final weekend up on this channel. I too am very disappointed by the cancellation of ValleyScare. I can't say I'm at all optimistic about the new event. I mean, it is simply a family event that leans more kiddie. It wasn't made for people like us at all. I still don't understand why they can't do a family event during the day and ValleyScare at night like they always have been. They can still significantly upgrade the kiddie event and have the Haunt as is or a bit modified.
@@rollercoastermotor1665 we got to do some in the day they opened for kids....they were fun and why was that so bad. Plus got to see it lit up to see how they do it up and all inside
Well thank you!!! I wouldn't really say I gave it a low review, but I would rank it the lowest of all the mazes that I did. I still really enjoyed it though. There was not a single bad maze in the park. Subjectively speaking I guess I'm just not as big of a fan of straight up gore and blood as those two things were featured very heavily in Mr. Cleavers. I also felt other mazes had better set design and better use of effects with either lighting or cheap animatronics. Mr. Cleavers did have a certain type of cheap animatronic (for lack of a better word) that I thought worked extremely well though. The problem with ranking mazes is that someone has to be last and unfortunately for me it was Mr. Cleavers. Sometimes it also depends on how well I was able to interact with the scare actors. That can come down to good/bad luck right there. I can't say I was too fortunate in that regard with my Mr. Cleavers walk through.
Great video. Could you answer a few questions for me? I'm trying to decide if I should go this year, it'd be my first haunt. What made 2019 better? Did this year have less mazes? Were they short staffed so there were less actors in the mazes and scare zones? Just trying to decide if I should go this year or just wait until 2022. Your input would help And we're masks optional for the Halloween haunt?
I believe there was one more maze in 2019. The mazes and scare zones seemed appropriately staffed. There is also no show in the Galaxy Theater. There were also some specialty food and beer options available from Surly Brewing in 2019. There are no specialty food items just for Haunt this year that I am aware of. They do have the MN Eats building though which has been open all year and had a different vendor in it each month. The Arcade was always a bar for haunt except for this year. There are significantly less alcohol options due to this. Food service everywhere around the park is significantly less staffed than in 2019 and many food service locations are just outright closed. I'd really recommend eating before going into the park and avoiding the food service there. There are much less options now and the service is fairly slow. I also can't say I am a big fan of the new no bag policy and no camera's in scare zones policy. I believe both rules are new for this year. Masks are only required for guests that are not fully vaccinated and the park is doing nothing to check for vaccination status. So they're mostly optional I would have to say. The biggest thing to me is that the park feels way less busy than it was in 2019. The park is still requiring reservations and limiting capacity due to staffing. This isn't really a bad thing exactly, but I always kind of appreciated the hectic vibe of the park when it was absolutely full and numerous rides had hour plus waits. Though I also always went with a fast lane pass back then so the length of lines didn't hinder my experience. I had zero issues doing all of the mazes, scare zones, and some rides without a fast lane pass this year. It is still a very good event and I highly recommend you go. It's just hard not to compare it to 2019, because that was the last time this event happened. I understand that there are different realities now and the park did what they could. Just gonna hope that 2022 is closer to 2019 and appreciate 2021 for what it is. Still a great event and very much worth going to!!!!! If you've never been to ValleyScare before then none of these differences will stand out to you. I highly recommend you go. I still had a really great time despite noticing all of the differences.
@@rollercoastermotor1665 So glad you thought so!!! I’m bummed I can’t be there again this year, but I’m at Nowhere Haunted House in Inver Grove Heights now. You should come check it out! It’s brand new and all indoors!!
@@oliviahansing1426 That definitely sounds like my type of thing. Will have to see where I can fit this into my schedule. The 18+ stuff sounds especially interesting. Never dealt with that level of Haunt before.
Yeah that is a good point. I definitely felt like there were less fog machines this year than in years past. They did do a great job on the fog machines throughout the Undertakers maze though. So if you really want to experience some fog at Valleyscare that would be your best bet.
@@rollercoastermotor1665 i hope thats temporary! It adds so much. I really miss Dark Harvest though. Maybe they will bring it back better then ever next year.
@@williammanthey6763 Yeah Dark Harvest was very much missed this year. There is quite a bit of potential to improve ValleyScare in so many ways. Just sounds like this was a year where they did all they could, but there's some limitations. I also can't really complain after not having it at all last year.
As a slider that worked there. Thank you for posting this for some good memories of what it was like. Since valleyscare is only kid friendly this year.
Absolutely. Happy to help. Thank you for what you did to help make Valleyscare what it was. Hopefully they bring it back sooner than later.
You should go to screamtown, it’s in Chaska. It’s scarier than valley fair a lot of people say and it’s got like 7 haunted houses
Sounds like a great idea. Especially considering that there will be no Valleyscare this year. I've heard lots of great things about that Haunt.
@@rollercoastermotor1665 It got cancelled for this year?
@@bessaroo2 Unfortunately, yes it did. Hopefully they bring it back next year, but who knows. I will be going down to Orlando in early October to go to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. I might check out Screamtown in Chaska when I get back.

@@bessaroo2 That all sounds great. Will have to see what I can fit into my schedule this fall. Hayrides are super fun.

Cool vid where is this exactly ?

@@rollercoastermotor1665 thanks so much I really enjoyed watching it and loved your narration ✨✨
Did they have squishmallows?

Yes they are plush toys that many collect them They came to their popularity on Tiktok. I went to Valleyfair last night and got some!
@@squid7566 Oh awesome glad you were able to get some. I'll definitely be on the lookout for those on my next visit and I will try to show off what I can in my next video.
Thanks

Hmm Interesting. Do you have a link to these videos?
Awesome vid - thanks for sharing!
Appreciate it!!!

@@rollercoastermotor1665 they went over the top on all mazes usually there are one or two that are meh....they do a fantastic job on all I thought.
@@rollercoastermotor1665 we got to do some in the day they opened for kids....they were fun and why was that so bad. Plus got to see it lit up to see how they do it up and all inside
Yeah it was a good system. Can't say I understand the logic of only having a family event. ValleyScare will be missed.
may i ask why the cleaver maze got such a low review? great video!!

@@rollercoastermotor1665 cool thanks for that. I'll look into going one if the nights this month
thanks for the so! i was the prom queen at the end of zombie high 🥰
Absolutely. Thank you for providing such a great Haunt experience. Definitely my favorite maze and my favorite moment from a maze at Valleyscare.
