Well, I'll start off by stating the obvious: 8 is just a tad young. But every 8 year old is different. It really depends on their maturity. If they have seen a few horror movies and didn't need a nightlight for the next month, they might have more fun. But it really depends. I personally would probably wait a few more years, but that's just me. I did Camp Killauee last year, along with all of the other haunts in the park, and I think it was one of the scarier ones. It had a lot of hiding places for people, many surprising encounters, and among other things, a chainsaw. There is also a lot of suspense. One part in particular where you have to walk through an extremely confined tunnel that was pitch black, and you could hear that there were people (monster-types) around you, but you could not see them.
If the kid is dead set on going (pun not intended), and you decide to take him, a great one to start him out with would be "Dead Inn." It is not confined, and (if memory serves me) there weren't too many jump-scares or actors in general. Walk him around the park (there are a lot of actors wandering around) and take him through a "Scare-zone" or two (The Playground is a good starter - not confined and you can leave when and wherever you want - then the Cemetary. Skip Feeding Frenzy...very loud). Watch his reactions and determine if Camp Killauee is okay.
I know I just gave you a lot of information you didn't ask for, but I hope it helps!
