There are a bunch of add ons: 3 jumps x 1 ticket off the Lexor Jump ( a free fall off a tower) Axe throwing 10 throws x 1 ticket Nightmare challenge- Fridays only. Any combo of some fear factor type stuff- eat something , drink something, do something. No thanks but I might pay the $5 to watch next time. If you complete it without throwing up, you get the money you paid back. We only went through the haunts and MSM/ JLH 1st: Lexor Manor : The first haunted house is set up using the upstairs and down stairs of the original house of Jeremiah Lexor. Waiting in line was no big deal, I wouldn't pay for the fast pass. There are multiple actors that come around decked out and in character interacting with the crowd. The make up & costumes were really great. Also there is a giant black and white projection of a video showing the people as they are scared , jumping, screaming and even running away inside. Watching it while you're waiting is fun. This place has a lot of history I didn't know about beforehand. Of course inside the Manor I was trying to look at everything on the walls and stuff . I didn't get frightened, but we did get jump scared a few times for being distracted and laughed so hard. It was great. 2nd: Carnival Outcasts Was probably the most fun and thrilling vs scary or otherwise. Plenty of clowns and jumps scares, fun & creepy sounds. Avoid this one if you dont want to be touched. They don't grab you just get real close might brush against your ankles or shoulder with something. I actually scared one of the actors myself and my friend fell out laughing; it came back to me and said " that wasnt funny" in the best and creepiest voice they could do to stay in character, which of course made us laugh more and her "twin" character also broke character to laugh. The walking path is wooden & goes up and down so beware. On the way out they chased her with the chainsaw and she loved it. The Lexor Jump is somewhere off the side of this attraction or above it. 3. Backwoods of Rage: IMO was the best one that had us more involved and engaged, feeling "lost" in the moment than the others did. The theme and overal demeanor of the characters was less playful scary & more sinister than the others. The actors never broke no matter what we said back. Which was good for us because we got our kicks in the first two. There is a lot less light in this one which adds to the fear factor for some. It was eerie walking through the part that is close to the woods but the guy in the front of our group here, kept screaming terrified every time someone jumped out at him. They knew who to get jaja. Well, so we didn't really get any scares until we got caught up in the fog and separated from the group..then the Cucuy found us. They did a really great job on this set with all of the turns and obstacles and placements of the actors. It was set up farther back on the property in the woods in what looks like a slaughter house for pigs. It had a lot of fog machines at one point and multiple false exits; it limited all ability to see so if you have breathing issues beware of getting disoriented in there. The bit of fear I felt was at the end in whatever kind of exit that was because I'm claustrophobic...I did run that bit out jajaja. I wont spoil it for you with the details. * Go through the Museum and Jack O Lantern halls last as there are no lines. They converted old shipping containers to make this. A different music is playing inside here than what you hear in the park and there is much to see. We danced around inside while checking things out. Spent another 20-30 minutes here inspecting everything. * Unless you have a big group or plan to hang about, you'd probably get through everything and be ready to leave in about 2 hours. *The music is loud and epic throughout the screampark. There is a gift shop/stand that also offers water & soda *Bathrooms are portapotties so make sure you bring hand sanitizer at least. *Parking is card only; $10; guided in the grass so be prepared to walk to the entrance. I've heard they change a lot of it every year, so I would definitely go again.

Ummm, my bad. I'm sorry that I have failed to write this review for a while - but no longer…read more I love it here. It's definitely a nice getaway in Knoxville for those that like to game in a lively environment and enjoy time with friends and family. And on top of that, it's also great that this and the other parts of the same chain (Bit Burger, Space Bar) are near each other in the same area as well. Makes for a lot of great food service for what you can order (that will be similar at the other spots). The staff has always been (10+ visits) nice and responsive to any requests. The drinks are fun but I like to personally stick to some snacking. I have found the buffalo wraps and mini hot dogs to be the ticket. The pinball machines have a lot of variety and art to admire in them. There are also other board and video game options for those that don't like pinball. I know you'll see us there - so definitely say hi! SYOY!

I love the Space Bar next door, so it's clear these people know how to create an experience. Token…read moreTavern is a blast from the past, including favorites from the 80's like pinball and Ninja Turtles. The food for me feels like an afterthought. The corn dogs were fine but likely frozen. The salsa with the chips felt canned. I didn't try the other food but did order a burger from next door Bit Burger with an extra service charge. I ordered the Mega Man, a burger with cheddar, caramelized onions and white BBQ sauce. I didn't taste much of the white sauce and thought the side potato salad was okay, but I did like that they make them smash burgers. As a boba fan I also ordered one of the poppin sodas so that was fun. Overall Token Tavern is a fun place to go with a group of geeks like myself!

The stage that was hidden behind the movie screen for many years has been exposed once again and is used for concerts and other performances. It's not exactly Carnegie Hall, but the acoustics seem to be OK, the refurbished seats are fairly comfortable -- and there are plenty of them (several hundred -- I'm not sure how many the auditorium holds), and the spacious lobby is a good place for mingling during intermission.

Great Haunted House Fun!…read more This is a really great haunted house! We like it so much we drive 2 hours each way to go a few times in a night. We actually made it 7 times through the attraction last night! FYI: Get season passes you so you can go more than once AND enjoy the Christmas haunted house and other holiday haunted houses. I think it's 5-6 times a year! We opted for fast passes too since we like to go more than once! This crew does a really good job with some great actors putting in good effort and taking time outside for photo ops while you are waiting. Screw Hand: This "HOSTEL" movie style leather outfit with mask and screw arm found the right actor to wear it. He has a tattooed snake from arms across back. He is very interactive with everyone. Pickles: the scary guy with a shovel wins for creepiest creature outside in the lines he even has theatrical scary eyes and speaking shovel or shoes. He is pretty interactive stalking around and sneaking up to people in crowds. Carrot Fingers was cool outside walking around taking pictures. This creature stealthily roams the lines and doing photo ops. Pumpkin Girl: My son absolutely loves the pumpkin girl, she took the time to take multiple pictures with my son as he was so excited each time she came by. This creature really makes her rounds all over even at time dancing around. Outdoor Staff: everyone was great. People are friendly and fun. They really have a good crew of people who seem to be having fun. The Attorney: He is funny and gives you a funny intro liability waiver speech. Door Characters: Friendly and good story intros. They get you primed for your tour. Dr. Blinken: he is your entry point and does a great job being a mono toned robot like humanoid who brings you into the factory and decontaminates you. Red Eyes: He is one of the first characters. Red eyes and a hawk mask with a violin bow screeching on a metal thing. Girl in black on the bed with metallic ball fingers: She did a great job and our first time here she was the one who got me the best as I didn't see her at all until she burst out so fast. I laughed really good since I'm hard to scare! Good job! Caged Zombies: They are a cool section with 4-5 actors doing different noises and reaching through the bars. This was a favorite section for sure. NOT to miss mentioning the wild screaming girl right before who jumps out from behind a curtain. She is just before the zombies. That girl has a great scream! I don't know how she can do that great of a scream all night! I like the animatronics, the electrocuted man is a good one, zombie from the ceiling is also a good gotcha moment. The werewolves are cool, could be louder for a bigger fright but cool. The dollhouse pop out is a really good one. The pumpkin king is huge with a surprise animatronic also. The dragon is the scariest according to my son, he somehow thought it was real each time! There is a T-Rex style dinosaur too that's cool and surpassing! The sliding knees guy: this guy really gets you every time. He runs down the hall and slides on his knees when you turn the corner. That really takes some effort and a younger persons knees! The blonde cult leader girl: She was a cool and friendly section with funny comments. She was engaging and fun. The necromancer girl: She had a fun story and zombie she brings to life. She sends you on your way to be sacrificed. She was very interactive. The chainsaw guys: at the end are a great finale. We loved seeing how terrified people would get and cringe up as they searched for a way out of the foggy smoke. The insane asylum crazy person really does a realistic job. The bone sticking out of head guy: He got us good on one trip through. If I forgot to mention any others it's because I'm still tired and there is so much to remember! This is around a 30 minute tour or so. All in all a great job. It stinks some people made bad reviews about stuff that doesn't make sense. So I made a good review with real details. Hopefully some more people make some good and honest reviews since these guys deserve it.

My hubby and I are into real paranormal so we love a good fun haunted house to get our scare on too. We got there about 7:35 and we didn't get in till 8:25 so it was a long, LONG wait outside in the cold. Especially because each group of 2 or 4 was 5 minutes apart. I'd suggest that they add some heaters next year. But it was so worth the wait. I think we were inside for over 20 minutes. The decorations were superb and the actors were great.
