My wife, her two sisters, 3 of my grad school friends and all their spouses, 2 old high school friends, and I went Friday, and for sure both Origins and Wax Works were incredible! Definitely more water gags in the latter house than expecting. The robotics in that maze were also unexpected and unsettling (e.g. the mannequin scare). Origins surprised us with the detailed sets and claustrophobic scares. The most annoying thing of the night, however, was the pre-show room for the Depths. I'm in the minority when I say that I'm just not a fan of their pre-shows for mazes (e.g. Shadow Lands, Paranormal Inc., etc...). Granted, at least Paranormal Inc. shortened their pre-show to prevent large line build-ups outside. But one of my friends, who went opening night, even told me the pre-show for the Depths was unnecessary and underwhelming, and waiting in the longer line for that maze just annoyed us. By the time we made it to the front and entered, we had realized, as we were walking through the mining section, that they stopped doing the pre-show room for the night, which made the wait in line seem like even more of a waste of time. In all honesty, I just wish Knotts would do the skeleton key room thing again like in past years, which allows the guests who buy that ticket option to go and see whatever pre-show they have access to for whatever mazes, while the rest of us and just immediately enter the attraction. I also have to agree with Freak about the new rooms in Dark Ride, as it wasn't till my wife looked back as we were exiting that she pointed out the "gift shop" room was way too small and easy to miss. Felt they kinda over-hyped that new addition this year. Returning mazes in general were fine, with Pumpkin Eater delivering the most aggressive scares to our group. Shadow Lands and Paranormal Inc both felt tired, as the actors, at least when we went through, didn't seem too into it. I hope Paranormal is on it's last leg next year. Dark Entities was meh, and I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a short-lived maze next year as well. Even took a break in the middle of the night to watch the Puppet Up show and was not disappointed in the slightest! However, definitely reconsider taking kids into that show, as the subject matter made the jokes from The Hanging look like a high school stand-up night. But the new mazes, Pumpkin Eater, and all the scare zone actors made our experience entertaining so I'd say a pretty good year in general!
