SCARY

Wild Waves Fright Fest

Guests brave haunted houses such as the Chamber of Souls and Black Hallow Woods, navigate outdoor scare zones along cursed paths, and take thrill rides in the dark. The park features roaming monsters led by Mr. Fright, along with night beats from a live DJ. Visitors can also sample eerie seasonal foods like candied apples and elephant ears or stop by the 21-and-over Vampire Bar for specialty drinks.
