So far, Haunt as been going swimmingly from what I've seen with all of the parks. Let's start out with Dorney Park in Pennsylvania and check out their new Haunt the Mansion House Hotel. So far, we've heard nothing but breathtaking reviews of this brand new Haunt. Here's a clip from FrightTour.com:

"Most likely I see this haunted attraction staying for quite some time as they have put a TREMENDOUS amount of work into it. Most likely I see this haunted attraction staying for quite some time as they have put a TREMENDOUS amount of work into it. This is definitely a must!"

Knott's Berry Farm in California is home to one of the top Haunt events in the country, and this year, the designers at Knott's have pushed the envelope even further. Starting off with a returning Haunt, Cornstalkers has undergone a MAJOR overhaul, and has seen much improvement.

Moving on to the new mazes and zones, Virus Z, Sleepy Hollow Mountain, Necropolis, and Fallout Shelter have all seen their first guests for the year, and the reviews are consistent that these mazes all made for fantastic additions to their Haunt lineup.

Here are a couple reviews seen on ThemeParkAdventure.com:

Virus Z - "Pure mayhem. Like LockDown, it was chaotic, and frenzied. I felt a sense of panic, in terms of what was going on around me. The talent was fully into it. I loved the whole apocalyptic approach to it. Way, way too short, however. A-"

Fallout Shelter - "Wow! Very cool and again one of the absolute best of the night! To me this maze was really interesting and I was always wanting to see what was next. I loved it! The talent actually was really good in there too. Some cool effects, some cool characters and props, and the sounds were great as well! Loved Fallout Shelter and in the top 3 mazes!"

Necropolis - City of the Dead - "Oh. My. God. This scare zone was AMAZING! Stilts, huge axes, blood fueled machines, crutches made of human arms. Even the costumes were freaking awesome! I do miss The Gauntlet, but WOW! Overall 10 out of 10."

Sleepy Hollow Mountain - "What an improvement. I never really appreciated the Pyromaniax theme, and this is closer to Red Moon Massacre, which I personally love. Sleepy Hollow has some amazing set pieces and talent in it, don't miss it! I didn't even get wet! 8/10"

Sounds like overall, Knott's has some real winners on their hands this year! Up next for 2010 New Haunt Reviews: Canada's Wonderland & Kings Dominion.
