WEST CHESTER TWPEnterTRAINment Junction can now turn the world sideways and get people lost in a glut of punching bags.
And if that sounds zany, that’s exactly the idea.
The train-themed attraction, just off Interstate 75’s Tylersville Road exit, opened the A-Maze-N FunHouse this week, a collection of mazes themed around the circus.
The funhouse is just to the left of the main entrance, where the Victorian and Christmas mazes have been located. The Christmas maze is still in place and figures in the new attraction. But the circus theme dominates the remainder.
The entrance will be decked out in circus tents, and to the right, visitors can peak through the glass at a Christmas display, which will be open year-round, said Bill Balfour, the general manager of EnterTRAINment Junction.
From there, visitors can check out any number of circus-themed mazes, but they don’t have to do so in any particular order.
When the junction had a funhouse-type attraction in its early days, “a lot of parents with little kids said they were scared of the black light. They would say, ‘Mommy I don’t want to go in there,’ ” Balfour said.read more at: http://www.oxfordpress.com/entertainment/amusements/funhouse-opens-includes-circus-themed-mazes-1096464.html
