I didn't see where Kennywood should be at 5 and KI at 7. Kennywood was very disappointing after seeing it. I don't know why they rate Kennywood so high.

The truth to the Top Haunts award is soley if it is nominated on the Haunt World Message Board. There really is not a process for evaluation. I work in the haunt industry and basically the owner of Hauntworld just picks the houses/attractions he wants to be on the list. There is no 'formal' rating of any kind. The title just goes to whatever attractions are nominated in Spring. It is nice to be on the list, but it is more of a marketing strategy for Hauntworld to get more publicity. I did not even put our attraction in the running and suprise, suprise, we were not in the list. I just don't think it is an accurate evaluation.

Assuming arguendo that that's the case, there's a lesson in there....
