Working at Haunt I'd say it's about 50/50 and up to what your child can handle. A lot of kids come through the maze I work in crying from fear and there's also kids that absolutely love it. If you do bring him and he doesn't want to be scared, Kings Island sells a necklace called a "no boo necklace" that will keep the actors that roam the park from scaring him. (The necklaces don't work in mazes!)
