What Is This?

What is a “Score Sheet?”
Score Sheets are our way of letting you know how we came up with the scores for this review. Each of our review categories are broken down into several questions that we ask ourselves when we leave the attraction. Each question gets its own score from 1 to 10, which is then used to calculate the overall score for the category. After that, the overall “Final” score for the attraction (haunted houses only) is calculated by using a weighted average formula.

1: How scary was it? (30%) |
