Thrillvania

My Bible Community is planning events for the fall, and one of the choices is a corn field maze.  The one WifeGeeding and I use to go wasn’t open last year, so while looking for alternatives I ran across Thrillvania which is located a little east of Dallas in Terrell (home of Jamie Foxx).

It turns out this is a first rate thrill park put together by former Disney Imagineers.

— America’s Best Haunts, LLC, the authority on premier haunted attractions throughout the country, has released its official list of the top frights for 2007. Established as the only expert resource of its kind, America’s Best Haunts scoured the U.S. to select only 11 among hundreds of thrill attractions to honor with its prominent seal. Dallas’ Thrillvania made a list of the top 11 best haunts in America.

Thrillvania is the nationally-acclaimed thrill park featuring six different haunted attractions, a midway with fun and games, food and beverages and a haunted store. Founded nearly 20 years ago, the renowned park is located on 50 acres of haunted property approximately 30 miles east of Dallas. Attracting more than 25,000 visitors each Halloween season, Thrillvania is the premier area attraction for discerning thrill seekers.

Be sure to check out the video from the Travel Channel.  When I saw fire spewing from the chimney stacks I just about wet myself.

Come on, give it a try.  I know some of the staff, and I highly recommend their work.  You won’t be disappointed.  And in case you are wondering, I’m not getting any sort of compensation for this entry.  It’s just I really like the work these guys publish.
