After chugging three pumpkin spice lattes to get into the spirit, I, your humble scribe Super Weenie Hut Jr., braved the terror at SCarowinds. All my effort was to give you, my loyal readers, an in-depth look at why you should leave the safe confines of your living room to have the bejesus scared out of you this Fall. The 16th edition of SCarowinds\u00a0is comprised of six terrifying mazes and six spooky zones. Veterans of the event will recognize aMAZEing (see what I did there?) old favorites 7th Ward, Defex, Silver Scream Studios, Zombie High and Slaughterhouse.<\/p>\n Premiering this year, Dark Harvest triples the length of legacy favorite CornStalkers. This new maze adds delightfully spooky twists, turns AND lots more corn. I mean, I imagine this is what the parking lot of Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska looks like after a Cornhuskers game. It was like a flippin\u2019 corn graveyard. All that corn creates long, frightful corridors with many opportunities for gilly-suited bog monsters, living scarecrows, and zombie farmers to dwell. I may have jumped out of my skin once or twice, but let\u2019s just blame those jitters on the lattes. \u00a0Cool details abound, but my favorite was the sink trickling blood in a relatively quiet corner of the maze. Legit creepy feels from that one. This new edition of the corn maze at Scarowinds is NOT to be missed; the length and detail approaches the quality you might find at standard-bearer Universal Orlando\u2019s Halloween Horror Nights.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mazes not creepy enough for you? Well good, because haunt designers have plopped unique upcharge Skeleton Key Rooms for you in every scare zone. \u00a0You have to pair off to enter these little demented scares\u2026your own personal hell, if you will. Jack\u2019s Revenge in the new Psycho Circus scare zone delivers that horrible discomfort you crave. Imagine being trapped in the folds of a circus tent with killer clowns and well– you get the idea. I\u2019m never going to the circus again…and booking an appointment with my therapist.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But hey, if scares aren\u2019t your preferred form of thrills, SCarowinds also allows for glorious night rides on your favorite rides. This includes Amusement Today\u2019s Golden Ticket Award winning best steel roller coaster on the planet, Fury 325. Trust me, it\u2019s better at night.<\/p>\n If you crave spooky time, you must check out SCarowinds\u2014you won\u2019t be disappointed! It\u2019s Super Weenie Hut Jr. approved!
