Bayville Firehouse





I went to the Bayville Firehouse. I know I said it before, but I've been going every October for the last 10 years. It changes every year and the money they earn goes toward much needed tools and supplies. It costs $13 to get in and they sell snacks and drinks while you wait. They have free shuttles from big parking lots to the firehouse but you can also park in town, though it is usually hard finding a spot. Tonight's weather was pretty bad - rainy and windy. But they did a great job of trying to keep you away from the rain and inside the waiting area for as much time as they can. And even when the line looks long, it's not an awful wait.
This year, I hate to say it, I'm disappointed. But what can I expect? It's almost a family operated thing, therefore there are a ton of little kids in the walk through and in the waiting area. 
Another thing that acted against them was the smoke alarm. While walking through there was too much smoke from the smoke machines and it set off the alarms and all the lights came on inside the walk through and in the waiting area. It threw off the spooky feel of the place.
 I have to give them credit, you would never know it was a firehouse - they go all out.In past years I know i walked out with no voice from screaming so much. But it is losing it's scare factor with all the kids in the show. I was startled a few times, but unfortunately that is it.
Boo. I'm very upset. This is usually the place I go to when all the other haunts suck. 
I REFUSE to lose hope on these guys! I'll go back in 2011!
