Just like many construction projects, there have been snags. Of course, snags are what have chased Archibald Ashdown all the way to Florida. To be honest, he’s used to them.

Still there’s hope, as they shared a message on their official Facebook page (click here and like!):
The Legends design team is currently working overtime on scenic painting and installation of show elements. Please keep an eye on our FaceBook page for soft opening announcements throughout September, with a grand opening celebration being planned in conjunction with An Old Town Halloween’s Festival of Frights this October.
Old Town has been consistently amping up their Halloween celebration over the past few years, with each year getting bigger and better. This year looks to be the biggest yet with the opening of an all new Haunted Attraction. We got the chance to catch up with the gang at Halloween Extreme this past May and talk about the all new attraction.

If that doesn’t get you excited, maybe you should meet Archibald Ashdown himself:
The guy is intimidating, and quite frankly keeping him waiting is going to make everything….worse, for those who dare to visit A Haunting in Old Town when it finally opens. The hopes are to have soft openings in September, with the grand opening in October. While it still seems a ways off…it hasn’t kept Mr. Ashdown from getting things started:
