Jew Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) I can think of USH, Liseberg, and Fuji-Q. Are there any others with true year-round haunt (as in with actors and everything you would expect at HHN) attractions?

Homer Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Six Flags over Georgia (Freeman's Manor) sounds like one. http://sfog.playride.com/homepage.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Walygator's Terror House is all year, I think. Either that, or they just forgot to tell the haunt staff that Halloween was over months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I can't think of any off the top of my head but if you're looking for a good haunted attraction near a themepark, Gatlinburg (town after Pigeon Forge) has Ripley's Haunted Adventure which is great. I recommend it if you're ever in that area for Dollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Aren't there a few year round haunted attractions (though not associated with any parks) in the Wisconsin dells? The only others I can recall are Fright Walk at SCBB and Frankenstein's Castle at Indiana Beach. I've been though both and encountered no actors at the time but I'm not sure if it is the norm for both of those attractions to be unmanned.

noyzz Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Six Flags over Georgia (Freeman's Manor) sounds like one. http://sfog.playride.com/homepage.html Not anymore....2006 was the last year it was open all year. Now they only open it during fright fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 In Italy at Movieland there's the Horror House which is open during the whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 ^ and it's one of the best mazes I've ever seen. Also in Parque de Attracciones, Madrid there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 ^^I completely forgot about that one! That one WAS great! Thanks for the help guys...keep them coming if you know of any! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piers Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Blackpool Pleasure Beach has one all year, its an upcharge though, also, its operated by the same people as Pasaje del Terror in Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti762 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Ghostly Manor in Sandusky. While not in a park, it is on the way to Cedar Point and open the same times of the year as Cedar Point. I highly recommend it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yeti ^^ I agree 100%. Ghostly Manor is about 3 minutes outside of CP and it's the best interior design & floorplan I've ever seen on a year round haunt. When I went through it had no actors, and still scared me at multiple parts. What a shame it had no actors though It coulda been like the best haunt ever.

Fry Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Tibidabo and Tivoli World, both in Spain, have ones run by the same person as Blackpool's and Parque De Attractiones' (I know that's spelt totally wrong lol!)... at least, I think it's the same company. I'm doubting myself now, but I was told that, just don't quote me on it! I can only speak for Tibidabo's, but it's AWESOME. Not quite as cool as Parque's, but still. It's called Krüeger Hotel and features a lot of really cool movie stuff, which is always awesome! It's also really long, and free with the admission!

freestylenut Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Not necessarily in a "Theme Park", but Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum in Las Vegas has a "house of horrors" & is a mini-haunted house/maze! Great little scare. Wish Florida would have an "in theme park" permanent haunt! Closest I can think of is the Horror Make-Up Show at USF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFreak Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'm pretty sure Terra Mitica also had one called La Piramide del Terror that opened way too late for any of us to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 SCBB did have their upcharge "Fright Walk" what was all animatronics. We went through once, finding the sensors to set off some of the monsters again as we wanted to see 'em pop out. After 3 or 4 times of seeing the same ghoul pop out, we'd move on.

revilolee Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Gatlinburg (town after Pigeon Forge) has Ripley's Haunted Adventure which is great. I recommend it if you're ever in that area for Dollywood. Myrtle Beach also has a Ripley's Haunted Adventure and some other haunted attractions along the boardwalk.

Nrthwnd Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi - I looked and looked and looked...nothing through SEARCH. Nothing. Tried every wording and words possible. Nothing. So, here it is... I have three favourite haunt walk-throughs that are part of a park's regular season, and not just for a Halloween Haunt Event, etc. My three faves are as follows... 3) My very own local at Playland(PNE): Haunted Mansion It really is a great walk-through, has a few good scares, and usually a couple of actors in there to make it more fun. Compared to those I have been to, around the world, this still rates high in my books. 2) On one side of Sweden: House of Nightmares / Grona Lund, Stockholm. I loved that it had two levels to work your way through. A well defined stairway led you to out on the front porch, then back into the house for the rest of your tour. Now, Sally Corp. has helped "UP" the terror, in a renovation of the house. AWesome! 1) All Time Current Fave & The Other Side of Sweden: Gasten Hotel / Liseberg, Gothenburg. For the "water room" (you have to go through it, to believe it) alone, I would put this walk-through at #1. But it has so much more to it, from the "pre show area" to your being expelled into the reality of theme parks, at the end. No gift shop here. Exit to the BAR! (o: Great walk-through. Awesome collection of actors who make the hotel come alive. AAA*** #3 ~ Good old Haunted Mansion. Playland (PNE) #2 ~ This was a great walk-through! Grona Lund. #1 ~ Gasten Hotel is over there....somewhere. (o; Liseberg. Honorable Mention: This rather amazing walk-through in Finland. Unexpected and it had two levels, too! Lots of black light. I enjoyed it, and was totally surprised by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 My two favorite (for fear factor) are not at parks but I would like to share them. At #2 is Nightmares Fear Factory, Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls, Ontario It's year round but not located at a park. Canadians love their haunted houses,eh? Clifton is loaded with haunted houses but only a couple of them are very frightening. As someone who goes into any haunted house I can , not much scares me in them anymore. I have never been one to be afraid of the dark, but Nightmares makes you question that. Jessica and I were the first to visit Nightmares that day and after a 12 hour drive from south of the border I probably wasn't in the best shape for something like this. I couldn't resist stopping in Niagara Falls on my way to Leviathan several hours further north, when I heard Nightmares is an entirely pitch black experience I had to try it. I love these dark mazes. The darker the better, really. The small looking building is themed to a haunted coffin factory. It's much bigger than it looks, takes a while to find your way through and there is not one actor to be found inside. Machines, buzzers, static shockers, bursts of light, and of course the major elements I won't spoil out of respect. Everything takes you by surprise , you follow red tiny led's that show the way. They turn off and on and show up on the opposite end of the wall to mess with you. You are terribly lost the whole time and hopelessly fumble around finding the way through. You had to squeeze through tight gaps, and climb under a low wall at one point. I was very impressed and I recommend it for intense scares. #1 Barrett's Haunted Mansion presents Darkness Unleashed, Abington, MA Being a New Englander had its advantages at Halloween. There are so many mazes to choose from but none better in all of the northeast than Barret's. Barret's take's the all dark concept of Nightmares and amplifies it. 3 nights a year , the year round standing structure (it is only a seasonal haunt, however ) BHM becomes Darkness Unleashed. The lights go out in these nights in the main maze, the props become useless , the actors wear night vision goggles like effing Seal Team 6 and mercilessly grab , pull, rub, smell and otherwise violate you for what seems like forever. I have been twice and the first time was with my girlfriend and coaster /haunt buddy Jess and an older couple. While we were sworn at, grabbed , and separated that year, the next year with another younger couple was intense. We were getting grabbed all over our bodies , nothing seemed to be off limits. It was way more sexualized and I can see it being kind of disturbing to some. You have to buy reservations online , sign a waiver agreeing that you will be touched , etc. and when your time arrives you are given the choice of a red or green tiny glow stick as your only source of light. I chose red and lead the group both times . With the red glow stick the actors are way "rougher" and scare factor is maximized. We had hoods pulled over or face , I was "washed" by a maid who insisted I was dirty , she sprayed me directly in the face with water and two more actors showed up and started rubbing shaving cream all over me. I barely make out the frills of her costume with the little glow stick and I'm being dragged away, can hear my girlfriend screaming that she's being taken away, my friends are gone apparently. It was unbelievably intense , not quite like the ones where you're in a coffin, or made to eat things , or freeze in a box like the one in San Diego, but man it's intense every time, worth checking out just get tickets early they sell out. It looks small, really deceiving from the outside. The staircases are one of the only lighted areas. A lot of people quit midway. These guys did a great job with this one. Take my money!! Barret's Haunted Mansion Entrance for Darkness Unleashed where you get your glow stick. Don't be a puss, choose red! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Those in the first post look cool, I would probably try those out. That really intense one in the post above is just not for me and I love horror but I would have a bad time forgetting that I can't swing at people who are grabbing at you and putting things over your head lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Isn't the only one in the US is at Universal studios Orlando when it comes to in the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Isn't the only one in the US is at Universal studios Orlando when it comes to in the park? The Ghost Ship at Morey Piers, also. Beyond that I can't recall any in the United States with scare actors. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Frankenstein's Castle at Indiana Beach has scare actors. Some smaller parks have haunted houses (Little A-Merrick-A, York's Kingdom) but they are just in the dark walk thru without actors. As some have mentioned they are still quite popular in Europe and ever park in China seemed to have one. My favorite was the Ghost Ship Gothenburg at Chuanlord Holiday Manor Edited April 30, 2016 by larrygator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 ^You're correct about Frankenstein's Castle--no scare actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
