Cedar Point's extra rooms were in the middle of the maze.

http://m.daytondailynews.com/news/lifestyles/holiday/kings-island-goes-halloween-haunting/nhNC3/ not sure if it's already been said on here or not, I don't remember seeing it but it looks like it had the price for the key if it is really that cheap then I think I will have to fork over the money one night.

Some of marketing's most wonderful words:

"...as low as..."

Online prices for Fright Lane and Skeleton Key are $40 on Fridays and $50 on Saturdays. There are no discounts for purchasing several at once, except on Saturday, November 1, for which you can currently buy 4 or more at once for $45 each.

Now. Prices vary.

Two days from now or two hours from now, they may be double that, half that, or the same.

Like airline prices.

Supply.

Demand.

Dynamic pricing.

Pricing airline tickets is a miserable frustrating experience. So much variation...

The whole Skeleton Key experience was... unique. Totally different from what I expected.

I wish I could spoil the surprised, but I won't.

You guys have me intrigued. I'm now seriously considering buying this in two weeks.

I'll say this much: Skeleton Key doesn't open several rooms - it's just one in each maze. Each experience is very intimate and can only be done with a very small group. No more than four in most cases. After the Skeleton Key room, your small group goes through the maze. To me, that's what enhances the maze experience in a lot of ways. You go through in a group of two or so rather than eight.

BoddaH1994 - Without ruining it, would you consider the Skeleton Key a good value?

I really want to do the Skeleton Key, but I am a huge chicken and going through with just Princess Sparkles and I is not happening. I need to find someone who is brave enough to go through with us. We are possibly more frightening than the scare actors. Some of you know how scary we are.

I did ok in Slaughter House (kind of ok by my standards) and in Club Blood. The gentleman that greets you at Club Blood is awesome. Sam in Slaughter House is the best.

I'll do it if you can come on 10/3. See the meetup section.

Sam in Slaughter House is the best.

A certain person who posts here will be glad to hear that!

If you're getting Fright Lane anyway then yes - definitely!

I'll go through with you on the 3rd, too, if I break down and buy the key. I am not in love with the price, but curiosity weighs heavily on me.

For some reason, I got the distinct feeling on Friday that I was intimidating many of the scareactors from making any real attempts on me. It might be better to have "bait" along with you instead, to draw attention away, if you're worried tho.

Somebody is going to have to point out which one is Sam to me that night. I wonder if it's the one that accused me of stealing his pig.

Edited to add: so I was looking on the KI website for more info about Skeleton Key. Seriously, Fright Lane only offers front of line access ONE time per attraction? Did they enforce that by having scannable lanyards to track you? It does at least actually come with the special collectible keychain, doesn't it, because the site doesn't specifically mention it?

They punch the lanyard when you go through each maze. You also get a bonus extra maze of your choice.

So you can go through one maze twice? I like that, we didn't have that option at Cedar Point.

That is correct!

I actually work in one of the room. I will not tell which one. I just wanted to make sure we were making the experiance worth the money. I know I try my hardest.

So what are the skeleton key room experiences like?!

Its probably been answered...but I would imagine you get to keep the key? They look pretty cool.

To my knowledge you get to keep the key. I think they look better than the pic.

Yep, you get to keep the key. The actors in each room are very, very good at what they do. The experience in Urgent Scare is not my sort of thing at all and is not what I would have put there, but I have much respect for the fact that that actor carries the whole experience single-handedly. I know I couldn't do it that well.

Thanks LoraX! It was good to see you come through the other night.

That was Sam. He never did find that pig but I have a feeling that he may find another one that will become his new favorite.

Sam asked me where his pig was and I rubbed my belly and told him I ate it....LOL

I admitted to taking it and he told me I was going to have to help him find a replacement. Your response was better!

Maybe. I know you will instigate instead of protect though lol.

Edit: this was directed to UnrealNightmare. However, I am sure my fate would be the same with Sam and probably upstop.

^^Probably....LOL....I usually pull up the rear of the line and I usually let the scareactors in front of me at some point....hehehehe...(just so you won't feel left out of the action.)
