Haunted Plantation

Despite we getting lost listening to directions from a friend of ours we made it to our destination. The Haunted Plantation in Waipahu Hawaii. looking at the line we were considering turning back and just coming another day. But even after the 5 hour wait I was glad that we didn't leave.

The fact that it was not only simply in one single house rather several houses made things very different from what I have been to previously. They did an excellent job from the very first door, of which they made us open ourselves. The excitement in the air mixed with the loud noises and screaming from the other groups a head of us made those first few steeps really scary. Funny enough the smallest girl was the first one through the door. From house to house in the plantation we made our way past people dressed in eerie costumes and getting real close to us, making strange noises to others jumping at us from windows we thought previously were closed. There were many jumping moments. As a whole it was a great deal (being $13 for the regular pass). There were a few things that could have gone better, such as a traffic jam that stopped the line from progressing for a good 3 -4 minutes and some costumes were repetitive. Over all a great experience.

One of the major factors that made this whole experience worth it was the company I had in line. The wait was extremely long (approx 5 hours from start of waiting in line to the plantation), and without a good group of friends would have been quite painful. We talked joked and even made music. Singing a Major chord  as a group above all the screaming was fun. When the attraction opened (at 7pm) some of the actors came out and started to walk through the crowd and scared several people (quite funny). They did run out of food so I would advise bringing your own food and drink for the wait in line.

We will have to see where the next day will take me.
