Trail of Terror...No Hype was Brought!


Dole Plantation’s Trial of Terror failed to live up to the hype for first timers, Joanne Gagarin and her boyfriend, Donavan Hendricks.

Nightmare at Dole Plantation presented three heart-pounding attractions at the Dole Plantation in Wahiawa during the entire month of October.

It featured the Nightmare Express where passengers got a fright-filled train ride around the pineapple field, the Trial of Terror where it offered a frightening maze with no escape and the 13 Haunted House told the story of 13 unlucky plantation curses which are all suppose to scare the pants off many attendees from all over the island.

Gagarin, 22 and Hendricks, 24 walked through the world’s largest maze in pitch black as crazed creatures lurk behind every turn expecting to get scared. “The maze wasn’t all that scary,” said Hendricks. He was disappointed with the outcome.

Gagarin on the other hand, got frightened when she walked through the maze and a monster popped out at her. “I got scared the most because when we got to a dead end, a monster popped out and I jumped, screamed, and ran away leaving my brother and boyfriend behind,” said Gagarin.

Both Hendricks and Gagarin agreed that the Trial of Terror could use improvements. “The maze could use a lot more monsters around the turns and in the dead ends to scare people,” said Gagarin. “Also, the organization should open the other part of the maze as they were only using a small part of it,” she said. 

Even though Hendricks and Gagarin didn’t get as frightened, as they would have liked to, “we still had a good time with good company,” said Hendricks. 

They plan on returning next year when Nightmares Live presents another event but might try a different attraction. “Yeah, we’ll come back,” said Hendricks. “But next time we might try the haunted house though and see if that’s scarier than the maze,” he said.
