13th Hour Rising Haunted Hayride

Visitors board tractor-drawn wagons for the Dark Descent hayride, venturing into darkened woods filled with atmospheric effects, animatronics, and lurking creatures. Guests also traverse Purgatory Passage, an extreme indoor haunt featuring decayed corridors, cinematic lighting, and live scares. Between attractions, visitors can stop by a full food court and warm up in a heated indoor seating area.
