CHARLOTTE, N.C. — SCarowinds is adding eight new terrifying experiences this year. Now with a total of 17 haunted attractions, the Carolinas’ largest Halloween event is bigger than ever, with one of the most robust attraction offerings in SCarowinds’ 26-year history.
Headlining this season’s new attractions, SCarowinds will debut Jason: Blood Reign, featuring one of horror’s most iconic villains, Jason Voorhees. This is the second SCarowinds attraction to feature a blockbuster horror movie franchise, following last season’s addition of The Conjuring: Beyond Fear that will return this season.
“As SCarowinds continues to evolve, our team is always finding new ways to elevate the fear and adrenaline that have made this event so popular,” said Matt Riggle, entertainment manager. “With the addition of eight new experiences, this is one of our most ambitious seasons yet. From the addition of Jason: Blood Reign to new scare zones, entertainment and immersive experiences throughout the park, guests will discover fresh scares around every corner and leave with lasting memories and haunting nightmares.”
SCarowinds will be on select nights from Sept. 11 through Nov. 1. Fall tickets are now on sale.
