Visibility/Location: It's on a dark portion of Illinois 2 between Rockford and Byron. It's located…read morejust on the Ogle side of the county line when leaving Winnebago. When I went with my date we found it rather easily, there is a big sign lit, and two smaller bright advertising portable signs. Plus there was a fake emergency vehicle with it's lights running. At first I thought it was a real ambulance, but it's not. There was almost no wait when we went on a Sunday night. I was able to talk to the owner, very nice gentleman. We waited less than 5 minutes. I didn't exactly time how much time we spent inside the attraction, but it was approximately 15 minutes. Of course times will vary based on group size and how scared people are. The actors were good. The only time I saw them break character was when the person with me got so scared she was laying on the ground using me as a human shield. Each actor fit well with the scene they had set up. The flow seemed to go really well for us, until we got to the clowns. The person with me had a huge fear of clowns and it really took some coaxing by me to keep her going. Not the events fault, they did a good job. At the very end the group behind us caught up. I really enjoyed this attraction. You could hear the actors through out the mazes taunting the crowd. The final maze was painted so well that it was difficult to see the passages, you really had to concentrate to find your way. There are no dead ends, but it sure does look like it due to the tight cornering. This attraction is handicap friendly. Before the final maze there is a handicap exit. The final section is too tight and twisty for wheelchairs to maneuver. I can't remember having this much fun in a haunted house ever. Well worth the $10 admission price. From what I heard Sundays are the nights to go, there is almost no crowd there, so you can get in relatively quickly. That was my experience too. I'd recommend an older group, depending on their maturity, it can get a little intense. Children may get too scared.

It was so fun! The darkness and the scary people just made it!!!! The set up was great. We got…read morethere right before it opened and waited around 30 minutes and was inside for about 30/45 minutes. Do fun I lost my voice for a day from screaming and laughing so hard.

Yes you can watch many first-run movies on TV now, but I like the BIG screen. That is the real…read moremovie experience. AMC provides what I am looking for! This AMC is relatively easy to get to and there are a number of good food places nearby if you want "dinner and a show." Parking in the very large lot is easy since attendance is low. We have seen a number is shows where the theatre was nearly empty (saw one that was a "private screening"). One complaint: the parking lot needs a serious resurfacing; beware the pot holes and low spots. Service is fine. Limited staff like everywhere, but the job gets done. I can see why some might pass on applying. Here's a story from 2 nights ago. I witnessed an angry customer show why customer service is a deterrent to young, new hires. An old guy gave a young new employee $X.05 to pay for tickets costing $Y.02. Change was to be $Z.03. Totally confused the kid. Why? No one knows how to make change any more because the cash register does the computation. And somehow the cash register didn't tell the kid the change. The old guy went ballistic. Yelling at the kid. Making a scene. Absolutely NO need for that. An older employee at the adjacent register helping us apologized, but the old guy wouldn't hear it--he continued. The adult employee said something like, "It doesn't help the kid by yelling at him." The old guy still went on and then even continued to grumble about it to his wife as we walked into the theater. What a crab (comment edited for publication ). Kudos to the adult employee for standing up for the kid! Concessions are as one would expect. Restrooms could be cleaned more often. Not horrible, but floors get a bit slick with moisture in the men's room. Theaters are nice. The chairs will rock, though this location is not equipped like the newer ones with recliners and with food service. Multiple screens make it easy to find a movie to enjoy. We will go back. Rating:

The movie was great. The service and ambience...not so much. I'm not one to complain, but a movie…read moregoer should be able to expect a clean and comfortable experience. Theater was hot and the air conditioning was not on in that theater. Everyone that walked into the theater said it was hot. Spoke with the "manager" twice about it, before the movie started and was told he was working on resolving it. Spoke with the same "manager" after the movie and he downplayed the whole thing. Don"t plan to go back-last resort only.
