Post a CommentFor a $20 charge, we thought Realm of Darkness in Pontiac had to be good. Sadly, we were mistaken. Getting there at 8 p.m. after an hour drive, we stood in line for 1/2 an hour to get tickets. Then another 3 hours just to get in. The outside looks promising. Once inside, you were herded into a holding area for yet another 1/2 hour to watch a clip on TV. It said you would have to get gems to fight the wizard, etc. If you won, you got double your money back. Alot of time and money went into the props. The effects in the building are great, nice detail, cool monsters, etc. BUT....it is not near scary enough. If you're a kid under 11 years, this MIGHT be scary for you. Maybe. But for adults, it's more of a tour to see the work that went into it. As far as trying to find the gems to defeat the wizard, we were given an opportunity to pick a goblet. We picked the wrong one & were told we would have more more chances. We were given none. Very disappointing and not worth the 5 hours we spent (1
