What is the theme of the haunted mansion this year?
In the shadowed corners of Abington, whispers of "The Game Master" chill the air. This notorious kidnapper turns his victims' lives into a twisted game of survival, where every challenge they face could be their last. With a sadistic flair, he forces them into increasingly dangerous and cruel games, each designed to test their wits, endurance, and will to live. The Game Master’s hideouts are rumored to be elaborate mazes of psychological and physical trials, where escape is only possible if they can outwit their captor and survive his nightmarish trials. His reign of terror continues to haunt the streets, leaving a trail of fear and desperation in his wake. Will you make it out? This isn't a game.

This is our open air attraction (which opened in 2013 as “The Cell”). For 2018-2019 this was called “The Sanctuary” and is now “Condemned”
In August 1992, McTeel Industries was built with a small community within it to produce PW-30, a Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) based pesticide.
In October 1998, A NOx leak was detected from the facility alarms. In the attempt to stop the leak, the staff suffered severe chemical burns. The unsuccessful attempt left the community severely exposed to the gases. Production continued despite the leak.
In January 2000, With the demand for PW-30 falling and costs to contain the leak increasing McTeel was forced to start closing its facilities.
The entire community was locked down on Friday September 13, 2013. Leaving those within to fend for themselves. Studies indicate that the level of NOx exposure has left the survivors’ skin discolored, scarred, and their mental state possibly affected. Due to their altered appearance and forced adaptation to the environment they are now referred to as Coulro-Sapiens.”

How long is the line?
We are testing line wait times now. Our calendar notes our busiest nights where lines can typically reach a few hours. For 2024, we are limiting the number of tickets available per night as well as adding staging queue areas to help improve/lessen wait times. We do have line entertainment to keep you occupied while you wait to enter the house. We recommend visiting on a slower evening for shorter lines, or upgrading to a VIP ticket for an additional $15 per attraction nights that will allow you enter a much shorter VIP line! Why wait?!
How long does it take to go through the mansion?
This will vary depending on group size, fear factor, and on our ghouls. Typically it takes approx. 15 minutes to go through the entire house. Though to some, it seems like MUCH longer.
How long does it take to go through the Condemned attraction?
Due to this being a newly redesigned attraction, our times are currently being tested.
Do you have a store?
Yes! We have a merchandise building located inside the ticket building to the left of the outdoor attraction, and have shirts, sweatshirts, pins, magnets, stickers and more available. Supplies limited.
Are the actors allowed to touch you?
If you would like to shake their hands or take a photo with them, it will be at THEIR discretion. Please note that they MAY touch you as they are walking past you, but only as they are walking to get by you (brushing past you). They will NOT grab you*, etc. Other than that, they will not touch you. So please, do NOT touch them.
* Exception: At our Darkness Unleashed and Devil’s Night events, you will experience physical contact from our characters. You may be pulled away from your group temporarily, grabbed, moved, have (non-staining) liquids sprayed at you, etc. None of the contact will be inappropriate.
What if I touch the actors?
Depending on the offense, you will be warned or removed from the property. This is for the safety of our staff and customers. ex. patting the back of a ghoul may get you a warning, attempting to trip, fight, tear off costuming/wigs will get you removed from the property and possibly a loss of ticket. We have security/police details on site to deal with any issues.
What if I see something dangerous/illegal while visiting?
Though rare, immediately tell the closest staff/security/police officer and they will handle the situation. Do NOT attempt to handle a situation on your own.
Can I smoke/vape?
Smoking/Vaping is allowed in designated areas. At no time may you smoke/vape within the attractions, or the queue lines. Smoking/vaping is only permitted outside these areas. Smoking/vaping within the queue lines will result in a warning. Repeated warning will result in removal from the property.
Can I drink?
Non-alcoholic beverages are allowed in the lines and around the grounds. They are not allowed within the attractions. Alcoholic beverages are not permitted on the grounds. If you are found with an alcoholic beverage, it will be taken and thrown away. If you are drunk and disorderly, you will not be allowed to enter any attractions. Law enforcement will handle these situations.
Can I take pictures?
Absolutely. You are allowed to take photos outside the mansion with ghouls (if they choose), but you are NOT allowed to take photos once inside the attractions. If you take photos within the attractions you will be asked to put it away. Failure to do so may resort to your removal without a refund.
