As a start to the second half of the 2011 FrightTour we decided to head on over to Yardley, Pennsylvania for a scream at Horror Fest located at Shady Brook Farm. Boasting a total of four attractions including the Hayride of Horror, Carnage, Alien Encounter 3D and the Barn of Terror we were very excited to visit one of our most favorite types of haunted attractions, a terror farm!
After locking our car, gathering our tickets and making our way through the front entrance we realized what the name Horror Fest means. The overall event is set up much like a carnival with games, foods, entertainment, petting zoo’s and of course the four haunted attractions that everyone came to experience. While I loved this approach, I got the feeling that we would be experiencing attractions for the “family oriented” genre. It just seemed to theme park like for me to really admire all the activities available.
So after taking in some sights, sounds and smells we made our way over to the first attraction of the night, The Hayride of Horror. As we stood in line waiting for our wagon to roll up, we noticed that unlike other hayrides the Hayride of Horror was double long. Meaning instead of one wagon, the tractor pulled two wagons. This at first seemed pretty unique and could have gone one of two ways. Either we were going to be bombarded with so many actors that the two wagons would serve their purpose or it was a cosmetic mistake and there is no purpose for the double long load.
After sitting down and waiting for both wagons to fill we were off down a very long dirt path that took us up to a barn sitting on the very edge of our trail. We rode for an extended amount of time with nothing happening and we realized that we were no wheres near the entrance to the hayride. From where we were you could see distant colors of blue, reds, greens and oranges. We still had to turn and drive down a path into the woods. But as we came around the corner we were blinded by headlights on a monster truck that was weaving around the field kicking up dirt and making loud rumbling sounds. All three of us thought, “Does this monster truck have anything to do with the hayride?” And of course we thought it did and found no point to it.
