    A visitor writes on October 19, 2008: "We went there this morning, 10/19/08, and the place looked abandoned!! We had gone the last several years and it was an awesome place and a lot of fun! They still have signs along the road, but when you pull up to the place there is trash everywhere, no pumpkins etc. Very disappointing to drive all that way and it not be in full operation."
