Owner Jeremy Caudill said they are investigating the allegations and trying to find out what happened.
"There is no place for anything like this at our park," Caudill said.
Caudill is working with the haunted house operator and taking some steps including:
- Suspending employees working in that area during the investigation.
- Hiring additional security and monitoring systems in each of the houses
- Donating a portion of their proceeds from the following two weekends to the Rape Crisis Center of Medina and Summit counties.
