This maze has been tweaked again with a third name. Unlike its predecessor, there are no flashlights. The story seems to be the same, however.

Condemned

No one can convince me that, when it comes to sets, Kings Dominion's best isn't on par with Universal. Stunning photos of a stunning house.
Kings Dominion's houses make Busch Garden's houses look like they're built by highschoolers in the gym for a fundraiser.
KD's indoor houses have fully-decorated ceilings. BGW's are open to the event building.
Parts of Condemned does have open ceilings where you can see through to what is left of the supports to Day's of Thunders seating. But it's not very noticeable.
This house was INCREDIBLE last night. Top notch cast in a top notch house. Each actor I encountered was playing a distinct character contributing to the overarching story of the house while effectively scaring, stalking, intimidating, etc. This was a house firing on all cylinders on its very first night. Easily the best house of the night for me. Wildly impressive. 10/10. Best I've ever seen Condemned and probably one of the 10 best house experiences I've ever had a regional park. Legitimately fantastic.
If I had to pick one gripe, it would be that some of the new lighting feels a little out of place—I think it feels too static and "modern" given the theme of the house. That said, this is such a minor criticism that it's hardly worth noting when the house is performing like it was last night. Just TREMENDOUSLY impressed.

I second Condemned as the best house last night. Crowd control was great with spacing to allow a smooth walk through when I went through and the cast was great. I also love that they keep making changes to it every year it feels fresh and new to me.
NV: Condemed was the other house I went through on my visit, thanks to a shorter line. As much as I have loved this house in the past, this blew me away. I forgot how it was to go through this without flashlights—totally different. A complete spectacle from entrance to exit with amazing atmosphere and actors truly embodying characters. Love Love Loved it.
Totally agree regarding the Condemned cast. Here on opening night, they were awesome, and all fully into the bride and groom storyline.
As the crowds were so light due to the rain, my wife and I were the only two let in for our group (as there wasn't a single person in line behind us). And in being just the two of us, we were personally confronted by every scare actor - where a couple of them were able to follow/stalk us much deeper than they're usually able to, actively conversing with us the entire way.
So between the (always) great theming, and the cast tonight, glad to see that this maze continues to be so much fun - where I hope the cast keeps it up for the remainder of the season.
