MAZES:

  • NEW FOR 2007: BEOWULF - Labyrinth into Darkness (set in The Lake). Obviously inspired by the upcoming movie starring Russell Crowe, which in turn is based on the epic poem about a hero who fights three monsters: Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a fire-breathing dragon.
  • NEW FOR 2007: PYROMANIAX (set in the Timbermountain Log Ride. The premise is that a fire breaks out on the mountain due to an accident at the local moonshine factory. Toxic fumes turn the locals, including the fire-fighters, into mutants.
  • NEW FOR 2007: THE DOLL FACTORY (set in Wilderness Dance Hall). The Marionette Murderer, a psycho-serial killer, turns his victims into life-sized porcelain dolls. You take a tour through his museum of death and hope to escape his mechanical lair. Sounds vaguely inspired by DEAD SILENCE and/or SAW.
  • NEW FOR 2007: KILLER CLOWN KILLEGE (set in Xcelerator). A terrifying initiation into Clown University and its fearsom fraternity.
  • NEW FOR 2007: BLACK WIDOW'S CAVERN (set in the Mine Ride). The old abandoned mine ride is overrun by lethal arachnids.
  • LORE OF THE VAMPIRE (set in the Balloon Race) The old favorite returns: nocturnal hunters seeking victims.
  • THE ASYLUM (set in GhostRider). Torture and pain in an abandoned sanitorium, where the patients pale in comparison to the doctors.
  • RED BEARD'S REVENGE (set in the Main Gate Area). Another favorite, with a nice nautical feel and cool costumes: pirates on the Isle of the Dead, in the main gate area near Camp Spooky.
  • FEARY TALES IN 3-D (set in Ghost Rider, near Asylum). Characters from the Brothers Grimm and Aesop's fables mutate into monsters in this colorful maze (which replaces "Malice in Wonderland").
  • 13 AXE MURDER MANOR (set in the Mystery Lodge). A condmened Victorian mansion is haunted by the ghost of an ax murderer and his victims.
  • THE GRUDGE 2 (set in the Fiesta plaza). This maze, which was was established in 2006 to promote the release of the movie, returns for another go-round. The ghosts of Kayako and Toshio haunt an abandoned Japanese house.
  • LOST VEGAS IN 3-D (set in the Bumper Cars). A 3D casino of horror.
  • DARK REALM WITH LAZER RAGE (set in the Stage Coach Trail) This former "Scare Zone" was upgraded to a haunted maze in 2006: for an additional fee, you can arm yourself with a lazer gun and fight off nuclear mutants!

SHOWS

  • THE HANGING: celebrities are skewered in an outdoor stunt show in Calico Square.
