    That was "Hands Down" the BEST haunted walk through I have ever seen. Maybe a little over the top , but the production values are phenomenal. Hollywood quality sets that would look great in any movie., and unique animatronic's many of which appear to be custom built. This is stellar ..I really need to go for this Halloween.

  • @IamTheaveragegamer
    @IamTheaveragegamer 2 года назад +6

    A neat haunted house! Generally there is a doctrine behind haunted houses, the idea of decor to distract, or animatronics to catch the eye in order for a pay off of fear. Usually utilizing scare actors and props to work off each other. But this was interesting because having no scare actors really seemed to have them throw what they had in animatronics. Which can easily fail as a haunted house. But with the large amount of them, and their quality, combined with the fact the rooms are designed so well you really get, what looks at a video level a great experience. I am going to have to go myself.

    The Darkness Haunted House gives me vibes of a haunted house hoarder. Someone who had disposable income and bought everything they could as shows like Transworld as well as throughout the year from the companies they met there but instead of just hoarding, they figured others would pay to see their kind of organized "museum" collection. This isn't a bad thing, just the vibes. The black light mini golf and their Escape Rooms seem like really amazing experiences, the kind I would really relish in. I hope your first day at Transworld was amazing and I look forward to what new insanity you discover and enjoy.

    Anyone who knocks this attraction based on a video has, obviously, never been there in person. The narrow focus of a lens forces the camera to miss the totally immersive 360 degree hyper-detailed sets and areas surrounding the over the top animatronics. Truly, the only way to experience the true greatness of The Darkness is to actually experience it, in person. Great video Jake, but this should only serve as a teaser. Go through it!

    I went last night after watching your video several weeks ago. Wow, what a bummer. Groups were basically running through the place, shoving us from behind, pushing past us in the dark. So much for their timed entry… A few of their animatronics actually hit me in the face. If I wasn’t wearing a strap on my glasses, I’m pretty sure that they would have ended up trampled on the floor. Some cast members started taunting us with cattle prods and telling us to keep it moving. I was honestly just trying to enjoy the attraction, especially as a former haunted corn maze ghoul where I worked for years. At one point, my shoelace got stuck on a prop and I could barely figure out how to get loose. AndOF COURSE there was another cast member, yelling at me to keep moving. I AM STUCK, DUDE! It’s a miracle that I never managed to trip and fall. I attempted the 5 minute escape room, but it really wasn’t an escape room at all that they sent us into, and they had an equipment malfunction that made everything shut down right in the middle of it. We were just walking through this clown thing with no effects operating at all. After being rushed through everything, I was trying to check out the gift shop, but my friend decided they really just wanted us to leave because we were one of the last groups of the night - despite there being several groups of people playing video games. An employee said, “No! You are fine!” I told them that it is ridiculous to be charged nearly $70 to be rushed through a haunted house and then beg me to waste more money in their gift shop with all the time in the world to spare, and then we left. It was fun until we got harassed by staff. I understand timing for effects and cast members, but I shouldn’t be the one getting told off. The people shoving past us running through the place with SMALL CHILDREN should receive the brunt of it. It left a sour taste in my mouth. I’m wondering how much crap they are going to give us when we attempt to do mini golf and maybe an escape room today… I kind of don’t even want to give them more money. It’s just a bummer - I drove 5 hours to check this out. I wish I had just gone to Six Flags instead.
