Tips & Advice

  • Purchase tickets online in advance to skip the on-site ticket purchase line and head directly to receive your wristband.
  • Consider purchasing a Speed Pass to bypass the longest wait line, particularly for the Nightmare Haunted House.
  • Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes like sneakers, and avoid flip-flops or high heels, as the terrain can be challenging.
  • Be prepared for strobe lights, fog, and chainsaw effects; emergency exits are available if needed.
  • While actors will not touch you, their costumes or props may brush against you; notify staff if any actor touches you.
