| Visibility/Location: |
The Haunt is located only a couple of hundred yards north of highway 136 in Rantoul. 136 is the major east west road running through the city. The GPS directions take you directly to the spacious parking lot. There is no signage on 136 and when I arrived they had not yet illuminated the sign on the front of the site. Even when lighted, it is not easy to see the sign from 136.

| Wait
Entertainment: |
The line for the haunt is in a covered area under the roof of the building. They have also hung a tarp to enclose the area and provide additional protection from the wind and rain. Propane heaters are available in case of low temperatures. There are video screens playing scenes that may be from music video clips but it is unclear since there was no sound. There was no other entertainment or actors wandering the area but it is early in the season and the wait was very short. At the end of the line is a short rules briefing by one of the staff then you enter a introduction area before the Haunt. This area contains the signature Baldwin Asylum faƧade shown on their website. Patrons are grouped and distancing guidelines are in place. Due to Covid restrictions groups are not combined no matter how small the group is.

| Length: |
From ticketing to the rules area was 10 minutes. The rules took about 2 minutes and the introduction scene required another 10 minutes to move to the front of the line. Groups were well separated and there did not appear to be any need for checkpoints while in the haunt. The haunt itself required 17 minutes to complete.

| Scare
Factor: |
The scare factor was high. The scares mostly consisted of jump scares and noises. In addition, there were air blasts, dark areas, and some scenes. There was some gore as to be expected from a medically themed haunt. There were no crawls or squeeze areas.
|
| Crowd
Control: |
The flow through the haunt was very smooth. Groups were well separated and there was no need to wait for patrons ahead and other groups did not catch up from behind.
