Here’s what the publication had to say:

“A towering force in the haunted attraction industry, Cutting Edge has earned its place at the top by crafting an experience that lingers long after guests exit its shadowy halls,” the publication writes.

“Hidden within the walls of a century-old meatpacking plant, this Fort Worth legend draws guests into a multi-level journey where dim corridors shift, illusions flicker, and the line between reality and nightmare quietly disappears“.

The publication also highlights the venue’s other awards, which include its Guinness World Records, including “The World’s Largest Haunted House“. The venue was also previously named the Best Haunted House in America by USA Today numerous times.
