Climb aboard the Terror Trolley, and embark on a journey into the haunted woods, but beware, for the spirits have become unruly. The train suddenly comes to a stop, and everyone must get off and brave the woods to reach the next station.

Survive the walk through the woods, escape the spirits, and be rewarded with s'mores and hot chocolate.

This event is not suitable for ages 12 and under, and no costumes are allowed (we want to be able to tell you from the spirits!). This event will take place if there is rain, so please be sure to dress for inclement weather.

The experience will take approximately one hour, and the cost is $12 per person. All passengers, regardless of size or age must have a valid ticket.

Saturdays, October 19 and 26, 2012
