MACABRE MAZES
Nothing matches the pure, claustrophobic dread of our premier Haunted Mazes. We’re talking pitch-black corridors, elaborate, movie-quality practical sets, and immersive, heart-pounding scares that you won't find anywhere else. Every corner is a jump-scare waiting to happen, and every door leads deeper into a carefully orchestrated nightmare. It’s a masterclass in atmospheric terror designed to keep you on edge from the moment you step through the threshold. Enter at your own risk—we guarantee you’ll leave screaming for more. (Assuming you make it out at all, of course.)
Eversmile Industries presented by M&Ms
EverSmile Industries invites you on an atomic age tour of tomorrow. Behind chrome doors and cheerful jingles lies a factory built for one purpose: to make life perfect. Witness as flaws are stripped down, smoothed out, rebuilt, and reprogrammed into something... better. Discover how easy happiness can be when it's built from the inside out.
Terror at the Polynesian Palm presented by Skittles
The once grand Polynesian Palm Hotel has stood abandoned ever since the deadly hurricane of 1964. Locals blame the catastrophe on the destruction of their sacred flower's habitat, now only blooming in the caves beneath the resort. They claim the deadly plant's pollen also has resurrective properties and warn visitors to the island: stay away.
SINISTER SCARE ZONES
The moment you step into our scare zones, any sense of comfort disappears into the shadows. There are no walls to protect you here, no neatly roped-off lines, and absolutely nowhere to hide. You are entering a living, breathing horror movie. A symphony of fog, chainsaw roars, and atmospheric dread tailored specifically for the brave souls foolish enough to wander off the beaten path. Keep your head on a swivel and your eyes wide open. Every single step could put you face-to-face with the kind of terror that takes up permanent residence in your nightmares.
NEW! Doc Varnum's Hybrid Hell Pit
A twisted sideshow of gator hybrids, drunken handlers, and unhinged performers invites you into a lawless backwoods spectacle where every act could be your last.
Plague
Masked plague doctors stalk the streets, dragging the living into the dark for their final treatment. In this quarantine zone, the sickness isn’t the worst part.
The Last Harvest presented by SNICKERS®
Chainsaws, Pumpkins, Bird People. The fields are dead, the soil cursed, and the Harvest Witch has risen to reap her revenge.
Forsaken Fairgrounds
The carnival lights flicker, but no laughter remains in this circus of twisted clowns, mangled performers, and broken rides possessed by rage.
Outlaw's Revenge
Maudine Hollow rides with her legion of undead outlaws, seeking blood for every bullet, and justice from beyond the grave.
NEW! Dia De Los Muertos
Amidst a vibrant Dia de los Muertos celebration of music, traditions, and spirit, the boundary between life and death decays.
UNDEAD ENTERTAINMENT
Need a breather from running for your life? Our electrifying slate of shows perfectly balances sick and twisted spectacle with wicked, pitch-black comedy. From pulse-pounding musical performances to mind-bending illusions that awaken your deepest fears, these shows are designed to drag you into a chilling embrace and leave you begging for an encore.

NEW! Wake The Dead
Franklin Earl Anderson Rochester was murdered. His surviving family members arrive for what they believe will be the reading of his will. Unbeknownst to them, the family will stand trial, questioned through popular music and dance. Guests will decide who murdered Rochester, putting the fate of the family in your hands.
Amor Eterno: A Dia De Los Muertos Special

With jazzy rhythms, gallows humor, and beautifully harmonized vocals, these spectral performers are bringing the park to life.
