Why The Beast is known as the "The Most Elaborate"
Established in 1991, The Beast is known throughout the industry for it's elaborate scenes and attention to detail. The Beast pioneered the "open format," where you're not in a line, you're wandering through the scenes, never knowing when an actor or activated device will rock into action.
It takes about 45 minutes to one hour to walk through The Beast -- IF you don't get lost in the fog in the werewolf forest, stuck in a maze or pulled through the light in the three story tower. The werewolf forest is a full 1/4 acre in size, the storm scene's thunder and lighting will make your hair stand on end, the cobblestone streets of Jack the Ripper's London will seduce you, beware the raging wolf! And don't forget the swamp with it's blood thirsty alligators. The exit is a four story slide, it's straight down and blazing fast!
The Beast is open weekends from the end of August through the first part of October, then nightly through October, and will remain open for the first weekend in November.

I have been to one other very large haunted "house" in Minnesota, but this one was far, far superior. It is in an 8-10 story old brick building. Some of the "areas" are almost like being on a movie set. The animotronics (sp?) were very impressive and caught you by surprise.
It's also easy to get lost or to get to a certain point by more than 1 path, which adds to the "uneasiness" factor. A little bit pricey, but worth it. My understanding is that this is the 3rd largest haunted house in the U.S., and it appears on many national "Best Haunted Houses" lists.
The headless horseman and werewolf outside are also really cool.
Be prepared to wait in line a while if you come after 8:30 or so. The house itself can take over an hour (especially if you get lost).
