2008 Member Survey Results
Thanks to all the members who returned surveys this year; your input is greatly appreciated. While more people filled thiers out this year, we still have a long way to go in getting everyone's input.
This year's survey results are interesting for several reasons, one of which is the fact that Drew Hunter of Sally Corp. and Bill Criscione of Ghostly Manor contributed some great questions to gain some insight as to what we enthusiasts think are important in dark attractions.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the results.
