“Circle of Ash haunted attraction”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Circle of Ash haunted attraction is a haunted attraction near Central City, Iowa, which runs seasonally for Halloween. It was opened in 2000 as Canfield's Frightmare Forest. It grew from a small haunted trail to a {{convert|5|acre|m2|sing=on}} event.^[1] It moved from its original location in a botanical preserve to an unused warehouse, and subsequently to its present location at the Linn County Fairgrounds.

History

In 2009, all of the Frightmare Forest organization's property was packed up and moved to a warehouse at 412 7th Ave SE, in Cedar Rapids, becoming the Circle of Ash Haunted Attraction. Since then, it grew to produce multiple productions per year, including on Valentine's Day Weekend, Independence Day Weekend, and Halloween season in 2011.

In 2015, the attraction went dark for a year, returning in 2016 at its current location at the Linn County Fairgrounds.^[4]^[5]

As of 2017, Circle of Ash has resurrected the Frightmare Forest name, and applied it to one of their haunted attractions at the fairgrounds. The attractions include the haunted trail (Frightmare Forest), a haunted house (Circle of Ash), and a maze (Pandemonium), as well as three rides and an escape room.

Attractions

This attraction features multiple experiences on one site. The Circle of Ash is both the attraction's namesake and its indoor haunted house. Frightmare Forest is a haunted trail experience, created outdoors in a wooded area. Pandemonium is a maze attraction, according to the owners. In common industry usage, a "haunted house" and a "maze" are the same thing. Journey's End is a single-rider ride, in a coffin, simulating a trip to the customer's final resting place. Rigged is an elevator ride gone wrong. Shafted is the simulation of a mine accident. Finally, Halloween Homicide is a murder mystery/escape room experience, and is a premium ticket event.
