Wow. This maze was the most staffed, but the actors didn't really do much at all besides the odd startle. We were actually stopped for a little because two actors were chatting. They decided to just let everyone in with no pacing.
I enjoyed this one. The actors really did blend in and even though it was a bit of a traffic jam when we went through there were still some good jump scares. It was definitely scarier than Grimm Woods. I must be starting to like this stuff a little more as I used to really not enjoy the jump scares at all. Here it was fun. I think it helped that it was outdoors. Also my son played rock paper scissors with several of the monsters which was fun too.
The first 2 weeks they were sending people in smaller groups through the houses/mazes. That was helping a lot with the traffic jams and made CornStalkers an actual maze and gives the actors more time to re-set, resulting in more scares.
Last weekend they seemed to have a continuous stream of people go into all the houses. At least the lines were moving fast due to it though.

When we were there the first weekend, we were at the front of the Fright Lane queue at Condemned (trust me, I do have a point related to CornStalkers here). One of the groups suggested that they just start the night "with a conga line" by opening the door and just letting everyone in. The other grouper, thankfully, shut that down, and told us they are supposed to send people in groups unless/until the crowds and queues get to heavy.
So, I imagine we should expect that the groupers have the option to allow conga lines on busy nights.

Conga lines at tiki touristy dive bars you'd find at literally every cruise ship port in the Caribbean = acceptable
Conga lines anywhere else = what the hell

I REALLY wanted to like CornStalkers last night. The house feels completely unchanged to me, but the cast was doing better than I've ever seen before—particularly with relaying unique identities and stories. It's impossible to scare when the house is backed up from entrance to exit, but the cast shifted to storytelling which was really cool to see. For instance, the "mom and dad" were in the barn at the entrance warning people to look out for their kids out in the fields because they can be a little crazy. There was a guy in the shack with the snakes who was complaining that no one would do an adequate job fixing his roof. Lots of little storylines like that come together to make the house way more interesting. Sadly, it just can't be an effective house when you walk a couple feet every thirty seconds and stop for long periods of time between movements. The experience just immediately descends into frustration and annoyance.
This was def he scariest maze this year! so good. im not scared of alot of thigs but it was so scary!
