For your reference: We arrived at Waldorf Estate of Fear on Saturday October 10th, around 9pm. Although crowds will be at a smaller capacity due to COVID19, we highly recommend opting for the VIP pass so you can head right into the VIP line.

Once you are cleared you will get on line to redeem your tickets. General admission and VIP are separate for each attraction, and each guest is told to keep within an appropriate social distance from the group in front of them. You were sent into the attractions with only those in your group. There is hand sanitizer scattered throughout the park bathrooms are clean and sanitizer is available inside. Everyone seemed to remain aware of their social distance and was respectfully staying far enough away from other customers throughout the Scream park. Masks were strictly enforced by all on the grounds.

Overall Attraction Rating: 7/10
This attraction was about 15 minutes long. As climbed aboard the military style wagon we were handed 2 canisters of paintballs.
The attraction is a military themed zombie hunt training exercise. The two instructors dressed in military attire tell you the mission and go over the the directions. As the ride begins, One side shot before the other then both sides alternated shooting, and ended the ride with both sides shooting in synchronization. The goal was to hit
as many of the stagnant zombie props and random targets as possible. Just be mindful, the Paint splatters at times but it is machine washable. We had a lot of fun with this attraction! There was hand sanitizer available at the entrance, and exit of the attraction for all guests to use!

We entered the City of Horrors attraction around 10pm. It took us roughly 20 mins to get through the attraction. We went in with just our group, and did not run into any other customers along our journey. This is a classic horror movie themed walking trail. Themes included the walking dead, nightmare on elm street, Friday the 13th, IT, stranger things, Slender man, Halloween and a few other classic horror movie favorites!

We entered the attraction around 10:30, it took us about 20 minutes to get through. The actors are absolutely phenomenal in this attraction. Each actor has a full elaborate story, they stay in character the entire time, and are improvising constantly. We want to make sure and Shout out to the bellhop, maid, clowns, and waitress in restaurant! Each of these actors were absolutely amazing, they brought their entire section of the attraction to life effortlessly! Some of the highlights of this attraction for us were the satanic cult members, the child in bedroom who killed her parents, and Oliver upstairs in his torture chamber. This attraction had wonderful use of chainsaws, over the top elaborate sets, and perfectly done jump scares. We Went in by ourselves and did not run into anyone else During our time in the haunt. The attraction was entirely Social distanced. There was also hand sanitizer available at entrance of the attraction!
For all those looking for food they have several options you can enjoy and a nice sitting area where are you can enjoy the bonfire! We had an amazing experience at Waldorf Estate of Fear this year. They put on a wonderful show, their sets and actors are amazing. We highly recommend checking out this haunt!!
