I've always heard about it but never went until this year. If the wait had been shorter and the ride less expensive, I probably would have been more pleased with the experience. Our wait was about two hours, but I think the cold temps kept people away because a friend waited 5 hours the previous weekend. The hayride itself was OK. Some of the props/scenes you go by were impressive to look at, others not so much. I did not find it scary at all. There was a part where you go into a barn and they close the doors, and strobe lights came on, and lots of people with chainsaws...that part just went on way too long. It smelled awful and was hard to breathe in there from the fumes of the chainsaws the tractor. Given the wait time and the price ($15 per person!) I would not do it again. Afterwards there was a haunted house to walk through at no extra charge and we actually enjoyed that much more and it was much more spooky... very dark with actors lurking. The cafe area was thankfully very warm but it was the most disorganized system of ordering/paying I had ever seen in my life. And they did not sell cider. ??? The kids working there were really nice though. It seemed like all of the employees & actors were having fun and did their best. I was very glad we went with another couple, because that made it possible to take turns standing in the line and getting warm inside. Overall I guess I would recommend doing it once, and remember to bundle up.
