Highlights Of Reign of Terror 2024

  • An All New Fully Featured Attraction: “Forest of Fear”, where the seemingly friendly beacon of a full moon shining through the trees leads to unexpected encounters, both human and in-human
  • Customized, fully automated, 10 foot-tall larger than life fully animatronic grotesque monsters engaged in gruesome activities. These custom creations cannot be found anywhere else, outside the Reign of Terror.
  • A run-away Ghost Train will appear seemingly out of nowhere, with no place to turn.
  • Visitors will also encounter all new transitional sections featuring creepy courtyards, graveyards, and other strange spaces full of unpleasant surprises.
  • Lurking throughout the 142 rooms are 96 individual, live, or nearly alive, actors, props, creatures and various other malevolent beings, ready to appear and pounce without a moment’s notice.
  • All new multi-sensory experiences throughout with new sinister sound tracks, sound effects, surprising scents and smells, and visual and lighting special effects to immerse visitors in multi-levels of creepy fear and shocking startles.
  • Outside, while waiting in line, all new photo-ops, roving monsters and line entertainers, music and continuously playing horror-themed video clips add another layer of entertainment before even entering the facility

The ELEVEN Inter-Connected Attractions

  • ASYLUM: Where the patients are running wild
  • INBRED: The unkempt cabin where strange people live off the grid and feed off unwitting visitors
