Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a walkthrough haunted house?

Q: How long is the experience?
A: Timed ticketing reduces queue line wait times but wait times may vary. Expect longer wait times Fridays and Saturdays closer to Halloween.

Come earlier in the month for the same thrilling experience but with less wait time on line.

Q: Do you offer a Speed Pass option?
A: Yes. For an additional fee, Speed Pass ticket holders can enter into the exclusive Speed Pass Queue that substantially cuts down the wait time.
