Guinness World Records recorded the attraction as "The World's Largest Haunted House" four times.[2] The attraction received a record in Guinness World Records for "World's Largest Walk Through Haunted House."[3]
Description
[edit]
Cutting Edge Haunted House was built in a 100-year-old abandoned meat packing plant in a section of Fort Worth that had once been referred to as "Hell's Half Acre."[4] The meat packing equipment is still in use as a "two-story human conveyor system".[1] Mannequins are hoisted up to the second level and brought through the entire meat packing process until the conveyor system brings the "butchered corpses" back to the first level.[1] It includes live sets, animations, and dozens of live actors inside and outside the building. The average duration of the experience is 45 to 55 minutes. The attraction totaled around 2,261 feet (689 m) linearly as of 2009.[5]
