Carowinds will debut a gruesome new maze this season when it transforms into SCarowinds, one of the largest Halloween attractions in the Carolinas, select nights September 15 through October 29. Guests can experience more than a dozen haunted attractions and live shows, hundreds of monsters lurking in the midway and some of the top roller coasters in the nation. New attractions also await at The Great Pumpkin Fest , the family-friendly daytime fall festival featuring the iconic PEANUTS™ characters, returning Saturdays and Sundays September 16 through October 29.
SCarowinds’ newest haunt maze, Depths of Darkness, traps guests in horror as they journey into the mind of the infamous State Line Slasher. Authorities claim to have finally captured the slasher, but the maze reveals the terrifying truth as guests wind through a sinister labyrinth with mind-bending frights around every corner.
Guests can take a break from fear and scream in excitement at one of three ghoulish live performances. Catch Blood Drums, a grisly two-some of high-intensity punk rock; Rocktoberfest, an explosive concert of the best in 70s and 80s arena rock; or Skeleton Crew, a high-flying acrobatics show of supernatural talent. Throughout the event, more than 500 monsters roam the park, stirring suspense and screams.
SCarowinds offers guests even more frightful experiences with the purchase of a Fright Lane Pass with Skeleton Key. This premium add-on experience allows guests to skip the lines and get special access to a more frightening and up-close experience in each Scare Zone. SCarowinds begins Friday, September 15.
