A
bloody good time can be had by all at Plantation Blood haunted house in
Augusta, Georgia. We certainly felt our
heart pumping a little faster as we traversed their unsettling attraction on
Thursday, October 11, 2012. If an
accelerated heart rate will help you burn calories and lose weight then perhaps
we should go through a few more times!
It could become a great form of aerobic exercise. All kidding aside this is a unique haunt,
with a lot of space, and many highly skilled staff members. They really care about what you get from your
visit. Changes are done yearly to make
for a better, and uniquely challenging, haunt experience for visitors.
Don't
let your guard down when you enter the Plantation, because that will be your
fatal mistake. Yes, we said fatal. "Watch your step" would be an
understatement. Every step will fall
somewhere that you don't expect, and lead you towards things that you can't
imagine. Sure, you'll find moments where
you think that you know what's coming.
Absolutely, you'll end up getting a surprise to go with that prediction
your mind was making. Step into the dark
and let it engulf you. Surrender to the
fact that you will become confused. We
wish you luck in mentally preparing yourself for the whole experience.
We highly
recommend going on a Friday or Saturday night, since those are the nights when
the midway is in full swing. They have
been known to have fortune tellers, palm readers, glass walkers, and fire
throwers available to entertain you. You
can enter the midway for only five dollars, without getting a ticket to the
haunted house at all. If you just want
to check out the atmosphere, this is worthwhile on a weekend night. Once you are within their fence you may find
that you don't know how to get out without choosing to go through the
plantation for the extra $20 admission, which is probably a smart move to
escape the monsters that are on the midway.
We all know that when you survive one thing there is always something
else waiting around the corner to test you, so it is possible that avoiding one
set of monsters will only lead to something more devastating.
Two
major changes that we noticed on this visit were the absence of fog and scents
within the haunt. These detract from the
guests ability to become fully immersed in the experience, yet we did find out
the logic behind these choices so that we can share the reasoning with
you. The scents have been removed as a
trial run to determine if some recently found information is correct. At a trade event the gentlemen were informed
that scents within the enclosed environment can cause visitors with breathing
problems, such as asthma, to have respiratory difficulties. In order to find out if this is true they
have removed the scents, and so far they have had no complaints related to
breathing. It seems that this may
actually be true, based on their experiment.
The absence of fog is related to a recent local policy adjustment that
resulted in Plantation Blood acquiring a sixty-thousand dollar smoke detection
system, rather than one for rising heat that many other haunts have. Smoke detection units will go off and trigger
sprinkles if they experience fog, therefore eliminating the ability to use fog
in that environment. They make up for
these changes in many other ways, but for us they are noticeable and noteworthy
to explain to others.
As
always the staff of Plantation Blood demonstrates a passion and competency for
their craft and are more than willing to spend time with patrons in order to
discuss their thoughts. Customer service
is a highly valued attribute in any arena, and it adds to experience. We continue to rate Plantation Blood with
four out of a possible five severed heads, which denotes an above average haunt
that is ready to scare you. Let us know
your thoughts. We do post guest reviews
which we receive in emails, so please feel free to write to us about your own
experiences at this or any other haunt.
