The line for the Walk of Terror took about 35 minutes of our lives, while the actual experience lasted only about a minute and a half. With everyone packed close together, jump scares were few and far between. The Seance line was even longer, and the experience itself was at least twice as disappointing. An elderly woman with tarot cards dimmed the lights, splashed water on us, and yanked the head off a doll. The only thing I was truly concerned about was catching a communicable disease. Finally, the haunted carousel was just a standard old-fashioned carousel. The "haunted" aspect consisted of two old toads turning the lights on and off as we went around in circles. Perhaps the biggest letdown, however, was the cocktails. They cost a fortune and tasted like sugary water. The least they could do was make them strong enough to help patrons endure the overall disappointment that is the Nightfall experience.
I pleaded with him multiple times, "There are children on this train! Please stop!" It escalated to the point where I even lied and asked, "Can my daughter please enjoy the train ride now? PLEASE STOP!" I had alerted a staff member right at the onset of the disturbance, expressing my concerns about safety, but by that time, the train was already moving and there was no way to stop it. I was seated with children just a few seats away from this increasingly unstable man, who continued to threaten passengers and even exposed himself by hanging off the side of the train car. I was furious after spending $71 on tickets, only to leave early because they failed to remove the disruptive person. Instead, we received only a small scoop of ice cream as compensation. Initially, I considered accepting the ice cream as a fair gesture since they claimed to have kicked him out. However, after the manager escorted us to get ice cream, we spotted the man again. It is unacceptable to allow individuals who break the rules to remain on the premises. There should be a clear protocol for security to communicate with the train operator. I overheard staff saying they were unsure about the train’s arrival, which is concerning. If your staff isn’t equipped to handle such situations, there should be law enforcement available at your events. No disturbance of this nature should occur on what is supposed to be a short, enjoyable train ride, yet it did.
The only thing I missed was the walk through the wash area from years ago that led to the far eastern side of the park. Other than that, it was fantastic! We couldn't find The War Zone—maybe it’s just Main Street?—and we thought The Boneyard would be haunted houses too, but it looks like The Butcher Giants is just a general area for those stilt-walking scare actors near The Wolves Den. This year, parking was free, and the crowds were light last night, likely due to last week’s reviews, so we didn’t need RIP passes to skip the lines. The Metabolic line was the longest, but it was only about a 20-minute wait. I recommend arriving earlier than we did at 8 PM, so you can catch the other six shows, enjoy the séance, get a fortune telling or tarot reading, and take a second trip through the haunted houses before everything wraps up at 11:30. Thanks again, Nightfall! We had a wonderful time!
Nightfall Had an absolutely amazing time. A little tired from running and screaming well organized and many scary houses. I was actually surprised how many there were. Actors did a great job!!! I saw bad reviews in previous year but I am happy for them that I see more good comments this year. I can't compare because this was my first time but I highly recommend it. There are many haunted house events throughout the country during Halloween season but the setting in Old Tucson is unique. Regular season I've been to Old Tucson during regular season and it is fun also. It's a must visit place if you are a Western movie fan. I didn't grow up watching it but still enjoyed it. My in law from Peru were big fans and they both loved it!
Date night with my boo. Enjoying an evening with a Fleetwood Mac cover band. Drinks are on an extra spicy Michilada and a **** Mary for my sidekick. I had a Mexican hotdog that came with scrumptious refried beans (sorry, honey).
