| Is it scary? |
Shadow Asylum is a premier haunted attraction and
is designed to provide an intense scare. Although not strictly
required, keeping a change of undergarments in the car is encouraged.
|
| Is it safe? |
You will be exposed to strobe lights, fog, scents
and odors, static charges, loud sounds, infrasonics, intense scares
and startles, enclosed spaces and uneven surfaces. If you have a
medical condition that you believe this would not be suitable for, do
not enter. |
| What age is this appropriate for? |
That depends on the child. All patrons MUST be able
to travel on their own: you WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to carry a child
through the haunt. Our haunt can be intense and we can't be
responsible if you drop your child! |
| Is it the same as last year? |
Absolutely NOT! We are even larger than last year,
and are spending all summer changing most of the scenes and building
new ones so that we can provide a uniquely terrifying experience. We
will keep some of our more popular elements, but we like knowing you
don't know what to expect next! |
| How long does it take? |
The time it takes to get through depends on how fast you
run! That assumes of course that you even make it through at all... |
| How long are the lines? |
Come early to avoid the longest lines, or consider
buying a VIP ticket. Once you are in either line you will get your
chance to go through the haunt that evening! |
| What is the cost? |
General admission is $9 and VIP admission is $16.
You can also get discount coupons at area merchants! |
| Do you offer Group Rates? |
To qualify for group rates, you must arrange in advance for
purchasing tickets for at least twenty people with a single payment.
Group discounts are only available for Thursday or Sunday nights.
No group rates are available on Friday or Saturday nights. If this sounds
like something that would work for your group, let us know and we can work
out the details! |
| What is a VIP ticket? |
VIPs get to bypass the regular admission line to the haunt!
The VIP line might not be empty, but its going to be MUCH shorter than the regular line!
This year VIP ticket holders also receive special scare at the start of the haunt! |
| Where do I buy tickets? |
Regular and VIP tickets are for sale at the
Shadow Asylum box office when the event is open. If you wish to purchase
a regular ticket, simply get in the ticket queue under the white tents. If
you wish to purchase a VIP "line jumper" ticket, follow the signs and
simply walk up to the VIP entrance. |
| What if it rains? |
We are open regardless of the weather, and although
we do have an indoor waiting line, we recommend that you arrive
prepared for conditions in case the line has grown to outside the
building. |
| Will the monsters touch me? |
If you don't touch them, they won't grab you. Of
course, in the darker areas something may accidentally bump into you
but our cast will not intentionally grab you. However, you may be
grabbed by one of the members of your own group who is too terrified
to continue! Also, a monster will "break character" if they find you
are not obeying the rules! If YOU touch our monsters or our sets,
security will immediately eject you. No Refund. No Re-entry. |
| Can I bring my ??????? |
You will NOT be allowed entry with pets, food,
drinks, video recording equipment, cameras, flashlights, laser
pointers, sprays, guns or weapons of any kind |
| Can I bring my cell phone? |
Sure, but remember to turn it off before entry. Use
within the haunt will result in ejection. Also, please be aware that
we will NOT stop to look for lost cell phones or pagers (or most
anything else). If we happen to find them, they will be available at
the ticket window the next night we are open. |
| Can I arrive "in costume"? |
Please check with us before arriving with masks,
costumes or makeup. We will NOT allow costumes or makeup that at our
discretion could be unsafe to you or confusing to our crew or to other
patrons. Masks are always prohibited as they may further restrict your
vision and your safety in an already dark and strange environment... |
| What about security? |
We use night vision cameras within and around the
haunt, plus we have uniformed and plain clothes security and law
enforcement on-site. If you are ejected for any reason, there will be
no refund, no re-entry. |
| Is it wheelchair accessible? |
That depends on your chair: our narrowest
passageway is 29". We also have ramps that will require someone from
your group to help push. With that said, over the years we have had
many people in wheelchairs go through and have a great time! |
| What about mobility scooters? |
Probably not, unless your scooter is a ZTR (Zero Turning Radius)
chair and fairly short in length in addition to being 29" or less in width.
If you can transfer from your scooter into a standard chair (we have one here)
you are still welcome and we have had a number of individuals do this and
tell us the effort was worth the experience!!!! |
| I'm on crutches, is that ok? |
No. You will encounter ramps and uneven surfaces that are
simply not safe to navigate while on on crutches. Plus you wouldn't be
able to escape the creatures waiting for you inside! |
| Do you have _____ (clowns, chainsaws, etc)? |
We'll never tell, but you'll find out soon enough! |
| What times are you open? |
On Friday and Saturday we are open from 7pm until Midnight! We are
also open one Thursday and one Sunday each season. On these nights we still open at
7pm but we will typically close by 10:30 or 11:00 since it is a work/school night.
|
| What dates are you open? |
For the 2011 season our dates of operation are: September 30 plus October 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29 and 30.
|
| How can I do this? |
We are always looking for actors and artisans!
