The show moments throughout the zone really added a lot for me. In addition to the tongue cutting, some of the scare actors would do bits with that ox oven thing and the iron maiden. Those victims were robotic, but there were still lighting and sound cues to make them sing.
Easily the best zone this year. All the bellyaching about the "cheap" stage look was for naught - it looks fine to actually quite good in proper lighting/final set dressing. You've got your garden variety expected characters (evil king, queen, executioner, plague doctor, knight) along with some more inspired victims and antagonists (the amount of torture devices on live actors was legitimately impressive). People don't tend to go for me in Orlando zones, but this area had by far the highest attempt rate, and one or two did make me jump. I was always delighted to walk through and even slow down a bit here, which I'd argue is the goal of a zone at this point.
