Frequently Asked Questions
What if it rains on the night we planned for Hotel of Horror?
Hotel of Horror is an indoor haunted attraction and operates rain or shine. Covered waiting areas and awnings are provided, but guests may still be exposed to rain during the walk from their car or during overflow lines. Umbrellas are permitted for the walk but must be left at the box office.
What is the difference between Hotel of Horror and Altered Nightmares?
Hotel of Horror immerses guests in the historic hotel's dark past and atmosphere, while Altered Nightmares offers a separate psychological journey of fear with its own unique environments and creatures. Both are included with a single admission ticket.
Can we wear costumes?
Yes, costumes are permitted as long as they do not obstruct movement or vision. Full face masks and anything that hinders visibility or identity are not allowed. Staff reserves the right to make final determinations.
What are the recommended ages for the attractions?
Both attractions are recommended for guests ages 13 and older due to intense scares, mature themes, dark environments, loud sounds, and disturbing visual effects. Parental discretion is advised.
Can we skip the line?
The Line Jumper Fast Pass is an optional upgrade that allows priority access to the main Hotel of Horror entrance line. It is available at the box office during the early season (cash only) and online later in the season. It does not bypass the brief transition between attractions.
