Carowinds is transformed from a “theme park” to a “scream park” as it debuts SCarowinds Halloween Haunt, the largest, most horrific Halloween event in the Carolinas Friday night, September 12. This year SCarowinds will be more frightening than ever with the addition of a gang of junkyard vampires in the new Blood Yard, and 7th Ward, a hospital filled with incurable patients. The terror continues on select nights through November 1.
In total, SCarowinds Halloween Haunt features seven haunted mazes, five outdoor scare zones, two live shows and more than 500 disturbing monsters prowling the midways. As always SCarowinds presents a sizeable collection of rides with a twist – daring you to climb aboard in total darkness! The entire park atmosphere is transformed each evening with an eerie glow, as SCarowinds comes to life, guests frequently look over their shoulders for fear that they are forever being watched!
“We’re proud to put on the most frightening Halloween attraction in the Carolinas,” says Mike Fehnel Carowinds Vice President and General Manager. “We measure our success in screams and know there’ll be a lot of them this year.”
