Formerly "Forest of Horror", the attraction was
renamed this year to X-Treme Fear. There are many new scenes here
and some favorites have been updated. Personally, I thought the
pirate ship was a nice touch (and the surprise awaiting those passing
through). Twisted versions of some fairy tales have also been
incorporated into the attraction, such as Little Red Ridinghood, the
Three Little Pigs, and Alice in Wonderland (though not a fairy tale, it
does tend to fit in this group). The clown area was completely
redone with 3D artwork. The clowns are still there, of course, but
now you're challenged with distinguishing between the art and real life
before the clown jumps out at you.
For those who don't remember, yes,
this was the attraction that started everything. I was
photographing a dorm's trip through the attraction and was approached
halfway through by the proprietor. He asked for a link to the
pictures and, since I was enjoying myself, I asked if I could stay the
rest of the night and the next, photographing the attraction. I
did so and was hooked. I returned the years after that, improving
my skills and creating new techniques along the way. I also added
more and more attractions to my list. It's fun to do and
definitely a challenge trying to get a good shot and adding light to
scenes. Thank you all who have supported and egged me on over the
years. Enjoy; I see you scream!
