Be advised that this attraction relies heavily upon the use of massive animatronic creatures and the special FX enhanced show is a high budget event. From insane chainsaw-yielding maniacs to monsters who blend in with the massive animatronic monsters, this hayride attraction has again taken its place as one of the best hayrides you can visit this year. What makes the Bates Motel Haunted Hayride effective is that it incorporates large-scale set designs which misdirect guests from the talented actors who are more than capable of using aggressive scare tactics including touching, and grabbing guests.

The set designs and nonstop action in each scene keep the thirty minute plus ride a constant treat for those who admire large-scale, interactive set designs and an onslaught of talented scare actors! Also, the attraction once had an impressive medieval themed scene which we hope returns in future years. We do miss some of the scenes/sets that have been removed including a vicious chainsaw scene set to the song “House of 1000 Corpses” by Rob Zombie.

The “Haunted Hayride” features iconic scenes such as a large-scale “toxic wasteland”, a recreation of the famous movie “Bates Motel” featuring Norman and his Mother, a trip down an abandoned “mineshaft”, an explosive “gas station”, an odd “tribal/dinosaur” themed scene and gritty trip through a “pig butcher shop/slaughter” among others are all memorable. Despite this issue, each creature is magnificent in scope and unique to this attraction. At certain vantage points, it is easy to see the controls of each impressive animatronic. From animatronic giant dinosaurs to dragons, the life-like movie quality animatronics are a sight to see, but we would like to see the attraction try to hide more of the robotic aspects of each large animatronic. The mood is set as the wagon enters a familiar “Dragon’s Mouth”, featuring an encounter with a massive fire-breathing dragon, to the opening theme from Batman 1989, and the attraction has added a multitude new scenes, and changes to its classic set pieces.

The “Haunted Hayride” is the centerpiece of the Bates Motel attraction and is an action packed experience featuring some of the most impressive set designs, and large-scale animatronic props in the industry. While waiting for each attraction guests can visit concession stands, a “coffin” ride, and purchase merchandise. The Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride features three major haunted attractions, the “Haunted Hayride”, the “Westworld Haunted Trail” and “Bates Motel” indoor walk-through.
Bates motel haunted house upgrade#
In previous years, due to massive crowds this was a minor issue, and it is advised you attend the attraction on a weekday night or upgrade to a VIP pass. We were able to go through the two walk-through attractions by ourselves as we attended the attraction on a Sunday evening, which allowed for us to see each scene in its entirety. Please be advised that your experience may depend on the size of the crowd. The Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride is a world class attraction, especially for those haunt fans who are interested in amazing animatronic props, and special effects that stand out amongst many attractions. Last year, the attraction brought back several famous scenes from its 26-year history including a return of the popular “Headless Horseman”.The “Haunted Hayride”, which already is one of the most technically impressive, animatronic heavy attractions you can visit this season has added several new massive scenes, movie-quality props and aggressive actors who pop out from all corners, jump on the wagon and create an action packed experience. The famous Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride is celebrating its 26 th year of haunting, and has added additional scenes to its famous “Haunted Hayride”, and “West World Haunted Trail” walk-through attractions.
