Plantation
Blood in Augusta, Georgia is an old favorite.
Going there for us is like coming home.
The staff provides amazing customer service and truly listens to what
their guests want. One case which
clearly points this out is that they planned to remove an entire zombie section
and their fans complained that they loved the zombies, so they found a way to
keep that well-loved element with a twist.
Haunters such as this have a passion for what they are doing and long to
see satisfied customers either running or smiling as they exit the fence after
a night of mischief.
Plantation
Blood has a long history rooted in the Augusta area, and when we visited some
haunts in North Carolina which disappointed us we needed something that was reliable
and enjoyable to end our weekend. It was
a long drive down from Charlotte, North Carolina, but it was worth every mile
of it.
This
particular haunted attraction is set up as a multi-layered event. After purchasing your tickets, you will pass
through a space which can either be benign or be used to scare. Once you are beyond the fence you will see
roaming characters, reasonably priced food, souvenirs, and other activities
which you can choose to partake in. One
of the souvenirs this year is related to your own personal experience going through
the haunt house. As you pass through
there are hidden cameras throughout and they are set to capture the
scares. These images are then able to be
purchased in print or digitally. What we
found to be the best deal was a combo pack with one print of your choice and
the remainder of your images emailed to you in a link for only $10. When was the last time that you saw a
souvenir of that quality for only $10?
For your
haunted house experience, you may choose to stand in the general line or go for
fast pass service. On a busy night (they
can have lengthy waits) you may find it more beneficial to get the fast pass,
but if you don’t mind hanging out in line and chatting up others it can be fun
to wait your turn like everyone else.
The
haunted house itself is a twisting and turning maze of motion and sound. Frequently you will find that things are not
always as they seem. The walls around
you, and even the floors beneath you, will leave you questioning your decision
to traverse their course. Objects which
should not interact with you suddenly come to life with either motion or sound,
and sometimes with both. The environment
which you have chosen to drop yourself into contains realms from houses, caves,
cabin, creatures, and hordes of zombies.
Everything around you has been planned and implemented in order to bring
the best possible experience to you. The
technology which they are running on has been created by one of their team
members and is just beginning to make it out into the market for other haunts across
the country. They are able to program in
a variety of sensory experiences based upon your interactions with the
environment and their equipment. This
elevates the haunt experience to the next level.
Sights,
sounds, and smells engulf your senses and add to the realism of the world you
are trekking through. This haunt is not
for wimps and small children, though you may take them with you for your own
entertainment value. We rate Plantation
Blood with 4.5 severed heads of out 5 and can’t wait to return there with
victims, um, friends, in the future.
