Nightmare at Gravity Hill

This is one of the better attractions in nj. 20 bucks to get in was ok. do pay for the express pass. It’s an extra 10 but I had waited last year for three hours. This year 10 min. Yes it was kind of the same but still very fun.

The walk through had some great scenes set up and took a decent amount of time. I agree that you really should leave some time between you and the group ahead of you. My husband and I were with a group of 3 people which included a young girl. She got so scared, she had to get out. The line was so long; it was worth it to pay for the express pass. Don’t bother with the zombie paintball. That blew. 2 scenes with mounted paintball guns. You can’t even tell if you’re hitting them and I doubt I had 50 shots per scene. Don’t waste your money on that.

I’ve been going here for the past two years and I enjoy it. I only live 10 minutes away so it’s easy for me to get it. They have two attractions: zombie paintball and the walk-​through. I only did the walk-​through. While you are waiting on line, they have scenes from scary movies playing or some music videos so it keeps you entertained in a long line. I went on a Sunday night and probably waited about 20 minutes. I don’t get scared easily and I love going to these types of things. Overall, my impression is that I really enjoyed it. I only think I jumped once. I really love this place because you can tell how hard every person works. From acting to props and more, they truly want you to have an enjoyable experience which is why I like this place so much. The only problem is that they need to space out people more. I can’t stand running into other groups during the attraction! Otherwise, 4 stars!

I was excited to visit Nightmare at Gravity Hill after reading a few positive reviews. I knew going in that this wouldn’t be Bates Motel or Field of Screams; as the previous reviewer noted, this is NOT a large scale Halloween attraction. This is a small, DIY haunt… more on par with Schaefer Farm’s Frightfest or Field of Terror. My review and 3-​star rating do take this into account.
There are two attractions here: a walk-​through haunt, and a zombie themed paintball «experience». We only did the walk-​through on this occasion (though I must admit, shooting zombies with paint balls does sound kind of fun).
We arrived at 7pm on a Sunday night, and the place was pretty empty. With practically no lines to speak of, they allowed plenty of time between groups — a huge plus. We like to take our time when walking through haunts so we can thoroughly enjoy the props and animatronics; this is really hard to do when there’s a group of shrieking pre-​teens running up on your heels every 30 seconds.
NaGH’s props are definitely their draw. I have to say, some of the props here were pretty incredible. The very first scene was so detailed that I nearly forgot I was in a small DIY haunt! There were a couple of other scenes that really impressed me, as well. I’d love to provide more details, but don’t want to spoil things for anyone! I don’t know if they made this stuff themselves or bought it or what, but my hat goes off to them. There were a couple of very cool animatronics, too. One in particular — a giant statue of the Grim Reaper — had us all gaping in awe.
In between sets, however, there was a whole lot of… nothing. The twisty, black fabric-​lined pathways were an effective way to get us from Point A to Point B — but there was nothing there to provide any sort of atmosphere. I mean, toss a few skulls around and stick some rubber heads on spikes… any sort of spooky eye candy would have been appreciated.
The actors weren’t the strong point here, either. There were a few standouts — special mention goes to the exceptionally creepy little girl that really hates her toys. You were awesome! But many of the actors here relied on the Pop-​Out-​And-​Scream-​In-​Your-​Face method of scare acting… which honestly isn’t scary. It just hurts my eardrums. There are much more effective ways to scare people, such as diversion techniques or quiet, creepy stalking… and for bog’s sake, ALWAYS remain in character. If the actors here can figure this out, NaGH could be really awesome.
If I’d gotten some really good scares, I would have given NaGH a better rating. The sets alone deserve 4 stars! But at $ 20 for a single attraction, I have to be really wowed. They’re not quite there yet… but I’ll definitely give them another shot.

THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE LARGE HALLOWEEN ATTRACTIONS. THIS IS A 30 MINUTES SCARY «WALK THROUGH».
The whole thing was $ 20 and the walk through took about 25 – 35 minutes. A lot of the time you were just walking through black tarp paths. I really wished they had at least had people scare you during these long stretches of nothingness.
Actors– always in character and seemed to genuinely want to scare you. They were all very good actors. We got scared and startled many times.
Props– The areas that had props were decent. This wasn’t a «major» haunted attraction, and for the location and general idea, I thought they were fair/​good.
The walk was short. This was not a 45 minute walk through. My chief complaint was that they didnt place you out enough between people. It should one group of people at a time. We bumped into a lot of people. Had to walk .1 mph through the whole thing, and had a lot of surprises ruined for us.
When you go, specifically ask for a large break between you and the group in front of you.
We really liked that they had REASONABLE priced food/​drink and that they had a movie outside. It made the wait time go by fast.
