Castle of Chaos

This is a competition to see who hits the most targets. The seating spins you 360 to stir you up a bit and change screens. The laser fire seemed pretty acurate which Ive found ot to be the case in similar attractions. Again worth the money to add on to your wax museum ticket.

This attaction would be fun for middle schoolers. the spinning around back n forth and shooting the things on the screen. BTW you are cometeing for first place of the room of people so work hard! unsure if you actually recieve anything for first place. but it was fun. to do.

When we went in we were not sure what we wanted the lady at the counter explained everything they offered without a hello, welcome to …, how are you, or thank you. By that time I had to back up because I was about ready to vomit from the strong sour smell of body odor. While taking care of us she screamed at some people who just came in «you have tickets stand at the yellow line I’ll be right there». She said I’ll be right back and walked away we noticed the smell had gone away but upon her return to us we noticed it once again. We decided to visit all 4 adventures after paying she informed us of what to do in an unpleasant voice. No spoilers but the Castle of Chaos was awesome! I would have given it a 5 star if not for her sickening sour body odor and unpleasant customer service we encountered during this visit.

This was part of our package deal with the Wax Museum. We did the 5D arcade ride first. It was my least favorite, but it was still neat. Then we did the House of MIrrors. I was worried due to the images they showed going in that this was going to be a cheesey kids type of ride, but it was actually my favorite. There is a tunnel you go thru at the beginning that… well, I won’t ruin it for you, but it is a surprise. Then the mirror maze was very cool. Plus the end has a whole room of mirrors, floor, walls, and ceiling. I really enjoyed this one. Next was the zombies. The majority of them are poor animatronic zombies, but a few are actors, and you will spend part of the time worrying you are misjudging which is which. There are several surprises and scares, but not so bad that you will be too afraid to try it.

So we got the wax museum combo with the castle of chaos. Castle of chaos has three different parts. 1. House of mirrors 2. Zombie haunted house 3. 5d arcade game.
Mirrors was very fun and surreal! Loved it. Zombie house was freaking amazing! Arcade game was pretty meh. Overall I was very excited when I left.

This was kind of cheesy but since it came with the package deal, we went. The ride spins around and you shoot random digital images, like zombies, mice, ghosts, etc. while the points light up a screen on the security bar in front of you. It does spit water out at your face and bursts of air hit the back of your head, but the wind when you spin is a nice way to cool off! You have 3D glasses too, which keep the water out of your eyes. I wouldn’t recommend spending the money to do just this, but if it’s part of your package deal, it’s worth the couple extra bucks and 8 minutes of your time.

The house of mirrors was fun. But the zombie attraction was absolutely greatest. Scariest thing I ever went through in my 50 years. Must experience this

Horrible ride. Couldn’t tell if your even shooting and total waste of time. Fingers got tired. Screen resolution really sucked. I wouldn’t pay $ 5 for this ride.

I absolutely loved this. I get motion sickness very easy so I was skeptical. My only complaint was the compressed air was to strong and hurt

Only did the shooting ride! Not bad! We did it late at night and took the kids. A little scary for the littlest one but over all not bad

We did the mirror maze and 5d ride. Neither is worth the walk to it from the wax museum. We only did it because it was only five dollars. The one thing I liked in the whole place was the musical stairs. They were cool. The show was kind of fun but they just herd you in there and hurry you out. There was only like five people in our total group. I won’t do it again even if it’s free.

The only thing in Pigeon Forge that made me feel like a huge sucker. Don’t be taken in. You pay almost $ 15 a person for a 5 minute ride that spins around a bit (like a carnival ride), then shoot a gun that may or may not work at a screen with crappy visuals. Dumb 3-​D effects, ineffective at best, distracting at worst. The only other effect is an uncomfortable lashing on the feet to imitate rat tails. Nobody made eye contact with the person who had sold us the ticket; we were embarrassed because we were ripped off. He was probably ashamed on some level, too. Everyone (people I didn’t know) left very solemnly. I don’t mind a tourist trap making money off me, but give the customer a modicum of respect and provide some entertainment in return.

We got this as a pick 2 with the Wax Museum. It’s good for kids, but for adults it’s meh. The seats move and spin and blow air at your neck and calls. The air blowing was a huge turn off for me as was the loudness.

(This is a review of the shooting «ride». I didn’t do the mirror maze or the wax thing.)
Don’t bother.
I’ve used this site a bunch, but this «attraction» was so awful that it finally convinced me to write a review. I feel like I owe a personal apology to the people who have wasted their time and money on this place since I visited 35 reviews ago.
An adult ticket is $ 15 in person. The exterior and lobby looks convincingly decent though empty — good enough to draw you in and get you to buy the ticket. Unfortunately, that’s the best of it. The «ride» is just about 5 minutes. You sit on a platform that spins around to face one of a few screens. There are cheap «4D» effects thrown in (eg. stuff poking your butt, or midgets under the seats, etc.). The people working it clearly don’t want to be there or interact with you, at all. The guy looked like they dragged a mechanic in from some shop, presumably because the ride breaks constantly (which seems correct, based on recent reviews).
Then the program they probably bought pre-​packaged starts, skipping the intro and having audio issues, so you don’t really know what the storyline is or what you’re supposed to do. You have a gun and there are things flying at you, so I guess you’re supposed to shoot them. Whatever registers the «points» doesn’t work. Then the graphics lag terribly, because at $ 15/​ticket, they apparently couldn’t be bothered to buy a sub-​$ 1,000 computer that anyone who plays computer games would have. They probably spent all the money on the exterior of the building and their web site to draw you in. Anyway, so the thing freezes and there are bats stuck on the screen, but the audio still plays. Then you see a Windows desktop’s wallpaper. Really? Yes, that’s how chaotically awful the «Castle of Chaos» was.
Seriously — read all the negative reviews before you decide to waste your life here. I don’t know how it got so many positive ones — but I feel they weren’t gained through legitimate means. The whole thing reeked of a crappy fly-​by-​night operation that popped up because someone realized they could make a profit after buying equipment for some game on ebay, and it somehow still exists — probably because they threw enough money at advertising and a decent web site. Someone else paid for my ticket, and I still felt like I was ripped off. It’s not even worth the $ 3-​$ 4 extra when added onto the wax museum/​mirror maze thing. I was with a group and didn’t want to make a stink out of it, otherwise I would’ve demanded a refund or tickets to one of the other attractions, and I’m not one to ever do that.

The mirror maze was cool. Don’t waste your time or money on the «5D» ride. Most disappointing time spent in this city. I thought this would be the most fun, but my 11 and 9 year old kids thought the wax museum was better. This is five minutes of going around in circles shooting at «scary things.» You really can’t tell where you are aiming so it doesn’t even matter. I came in 2^nd place without even knowing what I was shooting. My wife wasn’t even shooting for the first minute because the main character told us not to shoot until he said so which he never did.

Kids would LOVE this! Its a 5d theater so the whole platform that you are seated on spins, and spins fast! The figure looks like they are coming at you and even feel like it too. All that shooting makes your fingers tired! It takes a in action picture and keeps score for you so at the end it shows you what place you are in. There is a height minimum for this ride so little little ones cant ride. Hubby and I enjoyed it but wish it had lasted longer

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!! You sit in a chair and shoot a gun at the screen. Dumb and boring and way overpriced.

My husband and I did both attractions in here. They were both very good and a lot of fun even if they were a bit on the cheesy side. The castle of chaos attraction was basically a first person shooter video game with a rotating seat. The effects were well done and very fun. The mirror maze was a touch on the childish side but if you are bringing a girl under 10 she will be so excited. A bit pricy but good for a laugh

Just visited this week. We had seen it on a previous trip but did not know what it was. We had a blast! I get motion sick but this ride did not cause me any issues. You are moving and wearing 3D glasses while you shoot at screens of things that have a castle/​horror theme. The graphics were good and we had never experienced something like this before! I don’t want to give too much away, just go and you will enjoy it! I think children that scare easily would be scared. The price for the time is on the high end of average for the area but if you combine it with the other attractions (mirror maze and wax museum) you get a heck of a deal. Next time we go we will be visiting again. Also the outside of the building is so cool looking it adds to the effect!

Castle Of Chaos is a «5D» horror themed thrill ride/​game. It combines 3D film with sounds, smells, and sensations of everything going on around you. Plus it’s a video game where you rack up points for everything you shoot!
The story is set with you as a ghost hunter and you’ve been invited to take a look at a haunted castle. You get to face ghosts, zombies, bats, rats, bugs, and rabid hell hounds before your adventure is over. While some of the graphics are kind of cheesy and cartoon-​y the whole thing is a lot of fun and pretty unique for the area. It’s a must for horror, video game, or dark ride fans.
The ride/​game is part of the Hollywood Wax complex along with Hannah’s Mirror Maze (I have reviewed all 3 separately). There is a ticket that includes all 3 attractions and seems to be the best deal. The whole complex is pretty pricey so be on the look out for coupons. The whole place has a nice layout and is very clean. The only reason that it didn’t rate 5 stars is both my boyfriend and I felt it was a short ride for the cost.
This may not be appropriate for young children or anyone who frightens easily. The ride/​game is very dark, moves suddenly, and features things that «touch» you.
