Heard it's good (funny/scary) but haven't been. Going to try to go this week.

Baggy Trousers

Hmmm, looks interesting. I might well give it a go.

Anyone I know who's gone has really enjoyed it. Hoping to book a couple of tickets.

Went last Friday night at around 11ish it was quiet. The guy on the door said they'd stay open at the weekend as late as people came for it.... which is a good sign. Have to say..... It was brilliant. They guesstimate around 20 minutes but it all depends how quickly you run!! Well worth the money just wonder why anyone hasn't done something like it before. I'd recommend going in smaller groups 2-4 if possible, the initial scare is what you want, I don't think it's be as much fun if you were the last one through the door.

Mars Bar

Where is this located? Their location page on website seems to be on the blink.

should be market st galway beside the connacht tribune. not in galway but very familiar with the tribune having worked with them for years. I'd love to go too.

I've been put off going by the price- seems expensive for a 15-20 minute experience. I wonder will there be any special offers on?

EDIT I was wrong about the below, must have my internet connection last night, there are actually lots of days with slots to be booked.

If you want to go looks like you'll need to get in quick, it says theres only tickets left for oct 30th and 31st on their booking page .

I had the same thing happen when I looked at it. Just those 2 days available

**aha**

You must select a time *before* you select a date. For some reason that rule doesn't apply to 30th and 31st so it looks like they are the only free dates.

What's this "skip the queue" about? Is there a queue even with tickets?

For the "Skip the queue" option, they send in a really scary monster who chases all the people inside away

You have to create an account with mobile number and a email address.
Why mobile number too? Who knows... it's not used nor explained anywhere.
Then they send your login and password in cleartext :rolleyes:
These fellas really need to get some understanding on how to run a website.

Anyway, tix got and looking forward to it.

22euro for 20 mins entertainment is the scariest thing here

dinneenp

Yes, it's expensive but I look at it as a once off event and 'reviews' in this forum have been very positive.
Go karting is €20 for 15 minutes.

Maybe if you view it as paying for time.

It's more than likely not something you would be doing on a regular basis.

I'd view it as paying for the experience and judging by the positive reviews it's well worth it even if you only done it once.

Went yesterday, really enjoyed it.

Hoping I can convince two of my friends to come with me next week!

Was there tonight with two friends. One of us was scared, one was a little bored and one was laughing all the way through! Fun/scary, not terrified, but some before us were. The actors/crew varied from the energy of a checkout person on a bad day to top class stuff. Glad we went.
