Hannah's Maze of Mirrors

Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

According to this attraction's airlock introductory video, Hannah is a vain princess so in love with her own reflection that she's been imprisoned by a witch in a maze of mirrors. Are you The Chosen One who can find her and set her free?

Every visitor is given a set of plastic gloves to wear before they enter, so they don't smudge the mirrors -- which is smart, since you'll spend a large part of your time with your hands outstretched, bumping into glass.

The maze, fiendishly designed by labyrinth-maker Adrian Fisher, configures hundreds of identical mirrored archways and continually color-shifting LED lights to add to its confusion. You will, at some point, have the sinking feeling that you may not ever make it out.

This is not an attraction for the claustrophobic or those prone to panic attacks.

Tej Sundher, one of the maze's owners, told us that Hannah's has proved surprisingly popular with the young, who embrace its low-tech interactivity. It succeeds in contrast to the 5-D "Castle of Chaos" next door, which supposedly eats up more processing power than any other attraction on the planet -- and yet has been down for repairs both times when we've visited.

Simple-yet-effective Hannah's is the clear winner of this duo; our advice if you go is to grope your way in until you can follow someone who seems to know where they're going.
