Review
We got to the haunt in the same time the directions said. Once we arrived we could easily spot the haunt. There were quite a few people there for a night that was below freezing at times and because it was so late. However, this did not suprise me, because I have gone every year for the past five and it is always has tons of people in attendance. Once we got there we got in line and quickly got our wristbands. We then looked around and saw some great decorations, the store, and concessions. We headed toward the bonfire to listen to the creepy ghost stories being told. We waited only about 15 min. Then we got in line, the wait in line was another 15 min, but you have cute farm animals to visit with while in line. Then we were let in. You are immeadiately met by a creepy surrounding that is very dark and full of cobwebs. You follow a path that flows through the corn. You come into contact with a lot of strobing lights that make your whole body feel like you are walking sideways and completely disorientates you. Intermeadiately, you come across several animatronics and or live actors in the corn. You will also visit several scenes that are extremely elaborative. I love the pirate ship and the clown areas-really keeps you on your toes. We made quite a few screams and even more jumps from the frights. This place is always great and I highly recommend it.
Go now or as soon as you can!
Signage / Visibility / Location
If you follow the directions provided by the website or my google or yahoo maps. It is very easy. There are large signs and as soon as you are close you can see all the pumpkins and the bonfire!
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Very organized. They have lines running to buy tickets. Once you get your tickets you are encouraged to look around at the props and pumpkins or even stop in the store. After you have taken in the scenes, you can go sit by a super warm bonfire that has a storyteller, who tells spooky ghost stories.
Actors' Performance
They were amazing. It was late into a very cold night and I felt that they really had it together. They were funny, scary, and on their marks.
Sets Scenes / Props / FX
I go to Meadowbook every year and each year they never cease to top themselves. Not only do they put a lot of hard work and love into their haunt, it shows through the entire time from beginning to end. They have the best animatronics in the area-some are of such quality, I would guess they get their props from the same places hollywood movies do! Great scenes and I love the fact that even though it is in a cold, sometimes wet, cornfield, they are still able to make all the props run, including the motion and weight sensored kinds.
Length
This is one of those haunts that does not let you down. You have an easy 45 min to an hour once you enter the maze to enjoy all of the wonder that surrounds you.
Crowd Control
Once again, crowd control is great due to the lines set up and the fact that they have a number calling system which tells you when you can enter the maze. This counter is located near the bonfire. However, one cavet I would add is that for a night that had freezing temps and rain for several days before hand, it was a little less busy than I have seen it in past visits so the crowd was easier to control. However, I have also been there when it was extremely busy and have never had a concern.
Most Memorable Moment
My favorite moment was when my group was just completely mezmerized by one of the new animatronic figures that moves, makes noises, and is just incredible. I don't want to give it away but once you see it you will know.
Summary
Overall, I think this a great haunt. I love going each and every year, knowing that I am going to be impressed all over again. You want to go the Meadowbrook corn maze, don't miss out!

The Haunted Cornfield at Meadowbrook is the only haunt I would drive 2 hours for! It is located on a large farm that during the day has hay rides, gift shop, petting zoo (with some cute and creepy critters), and did I mention PUMPKINS! This is a haunt that you would want to "make a night of". There is so much to do while you wait. You can sip on Hot apple cider, eat carmel apples, sit around a warm bon fire all while listening to a ghoul tell ghost stories. 102.1 out of Milwaukee was there handing out free ticket opportunites. If that isn't enough enterntainment than play some Halloween games and win prizes, or venture through the gift shop and get some great decorations for your very own haunt.
When it is your turn to go through the haunt a LED screen will show your number. The cornfield itself is spooky with sky rocketing corn stalks that make you feel very inferior. There is rarely a "dead" moment throughout the entire cornfield. Strobe lights guide you through rows of corn, but be careful to go the right way or you may find yourself lost! Don't fear, the ghouls may help you find your way or they may just guide you the wrong way. The animatronics were great, I am amazed at the props and scenes. Everything is HUGE this year ... above and beyond. There are several areas which you will have to enter through different themed "cabins" ... you could find yourself disorientated, crushed, or attacked by vicious creatures.
I would definitely drive 2 hours again to visit this Haunt. You can NOT beat the price, it is cheaper then most Haunts and far superior than any haunts that are the same price. The only bad thing is you have to watch the weather, this isn't a haunt you would want to attend on a rainy night! This haunt is a hidden "treasure" in WI, I live in Green Bay and would have never heard of The Haunted Cornfield at Meadowbrook if it weren't for HauntedWisconsin. I recommend this haunt to EVERYONE!
Signage / Visibility / Location
We used a GPS this year and had no problem finding it. However I know in previous years we had used Google maps and it was completely off. If you get lost the locals know EXACTLY where it is. Once you get there they have lit up signs at the entrance of the drive way.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The wait area at The Haunted Cornfield is equally as entertaining as the Cornfield itself. There is a huge gift shop with tons of decorations and other Halloween goodies. This is a HUGE farm and there are lots of animals all over, they have a petting zoo during the day. The radio station 102.1 was there also. The best part is sipping some hot apple cider or eating a carmel apple and sitting around the bonfire listening to horror stories. The also have an area where you can play games and win prizes. Did I mention pumpkins? They have one of the largest selections I have seen!
Actors' Performance
A couple actors were great, others were ok. Timing is everything with this type of haunt and a couple actors were easily seen before they scare.
Sets Scenes / Props / FX
It is set in a HUGE cornfield, "Children of the Corn" anyone. The Corn is abnormally large, I remember 2 years ago Rick explaining that he buys a special brand of corn just for such an event. It certainly does the trick, you feel very small and very lost. The Props were great, a lot more animatronics this year AND some very, very unique scenes. I have been to several haunts and often times you will see similar "props" or "scenes" ... you will not see this at Meadowbrook, everything is so unique! I would love to speak to the "designing" mind behind some of those scenes!
Length
Perfect length! It took us 38 minutes to get through the Haunted cornfield. I know 2 years ago it took about an hour to get through, but things were too spread out.
Crowd Control
We did manage to p!@#$% the group ahead of us and then fall behind again, I don't know how this would be prevented though. The group in front of us was going really slow because they were extremely scared.
Most Memorable Moment
I wish I could give away the "most memorable moment", but I don't want to ruin it for anyone and there is no way to describe it without giving it away. I guess everyone will just have to find out themselves.
Summary
I'm giving the Haunted Cornfield at 5+ for FUN, and a 5 for Fear. I will drive 2 hours again to see this Haunt!

Great for people of all ages. Times are set aside for the different levels of fear desired. You will not be disappointed. This is an amazing place run by professionals. The corn maze is not your run-of-the-mill haunt, but one of a kind with its theatrical sets straight out of a movie. The price is right and you will get more than your money's worth. If you really want a scare, this is the place.
