Rocky Point

Well let me just start by saying that I'll be glad to see this one go. I know it was voted the most popular haunted house in the nation, but it has been the same set up for the past 5 years. Jeff and I decided that we just had to go to it this year since it's the final year. We figured that they would go all out to make it awesome this year to give everyone something to remember. We got there at 9:00 last night and the line was to the back of the building. We stood there, cold, bored and with very sore feet for 3 hours! At midnight we finally got inside to pay. First the workers started yelling at everyone to move as fast as we could into the next room. They had a "museum" set up of all the hollywood costumes and effects that they've used there. As soon as we walked into that room, there was another lady yelling "Hurry up, keep walking, get as far into the next room as you can go... KEEP MOVING!" I mean my hell, you pay $16.00/person you should be allowed to actually look around before being pushed into the next room... right? The house was so crowded that we walked in a line through out the entire house. There was a traffic jam every time someone got startled and so the rest of us were stuck in the same place for about a minute at a time, so the spooks in that area would scare the same people over and over again. The first thing we noticed was that pretty much everything was the same from past years. However, their Pirates of the Carribean display was AWESOME! They had a ship built and when you walked through the ship, it would rock as if it was actually in the sea. It was so realistic that several people, including myself, felt "sea sick." Then when you walked through the next door, Davy Jones was waiting to jump out at you. After taking only 30 minutes to get through the entire haunted house, and not being startled even once, I think we should have saved our money and just took another trip back to Nightmare on 13th!
