COMPLETELY NEW FOR 2026 – THE FUNHOUSE. A 100% BRAND NEW EXPERIENCE! Everything inside has never been seen before! Abandoned over 70 years ago. Long forgotten, this run down attraction is still infested with evil clowns and spirits that have been waiting for eternity to taste human flesh. This is an extremely high-intensity scare oriented haunted house. Many have entered, but very few have left alive!
BRAND NEW FOR 2026 – PSYCHO ASYLUM. Brand New Terrifying Experience! What happens when clowns go bad? They’re locked up here. Can you escape this neon-filled nightmare? Navigate your way through a labyrinth of twists and turns while being stalked by psychotic clowns that have been led away.
BRAND NEW FOR 2026 – TERROR-VISION in 3D. All New Scares and 3D Design! Enter the twisted world of an abandoned, beloved kids T.V. show from the 80’s known as “Robbie Rabbit & Friends”. Wearing your 3D glasses you will find yourself in a maze of mind-bending illusions, repeatedly stalked by the sinister axe-wielding host who went outright mad since the cancellation of his show. Can you escape before Robbie catches you?
