Haunted River Morgans Canoe

[flightoffear1996]

I started the day heading up to Kings Island for the haunt around 7:30 and saw how full the parking lot was and just continued down i-71 for a few miles and headed to Morgan Canoe Haunted River. We checked in at the front desk and paid our $10 haunt. They said there was about a 45 minute wait. There was no line however. They had halloween movies playing and some camp fires to sit around while you waited for them to call your group. Right on 45 minutes our group was called and we put our lifevest on.

We had a guide which setup the storyline. Overall the walking part of the haunt wasn't scary at all and there was about 10-12 live actors. I think I couple fog machines would go well here. It just didnt have that haunted feeling. The things they did have were very unquine however and the guide was awesome. Next we board our canoe for a 15minute canoe ride. This was the best part of the haunt. There were abonded rafts in the river that reminded of Jurrassic park for some reason. They had screamsters in the river even they must have been cold I am sure. Overall the scare factor of the haunt was only about a 3/10 but it was still really fun and in a couple of years could be a big halloween attraction.

There was no waiting in line, a boat ride, left plently of time in-between groups so there no running into the group in front of you, and some great acting from the characters they just didn't have the capital investment put into like some of the other haunts.
