Starting this week, guests can begin planning their journey through The Haunted Road, a new contactless, drive-thru Halloween event coming to Orlando on select nights from September 25 through November 7. Tickets will be available for purchase starting this Wednesday, August 19.
This new attraction will combine theatrical storytelling, horrifying creatures and unexpected scares in a completely drive-thru Halloween experience. Guests will be driving and parking their car at each scene so they’re not able to escape the horror that lurks around every corner. The spine-tingling action will come to life thanks to live performers, set pieces, props, lighting, sound and visual effects to place guests in the center of the original storyline. The immersive journey reveals an untold story of Rapunzel, as she ventures into a world of disarray filled with twisted creatures, bloodcurdling encounters and screams for anyone that dares to take a drive down the road.
The event is recommended for guests ages 13 and up. On November 6 and 7, the team behind the event is dialing up the intensity for two nights of The Haunted Road: “Unrestricted,” featuring even more gore and horror for guests 18 and up.
The family friendly experience will be available during the daytime on select weekends from October 3 through October 31, and will feature a new take on Rapunzel’s story and other beloved fairy tales. Families will depart on a journey through an enchanted forest, where they’ll meet some of their favorite fairy tale creatures and enjoy music, dancing and tons of contactless Halloween fun during this not-too scary adventure.
The event will take place in East Orlando, at 15239 Lake Pickett Rd, at the same locations as Corn Maze Orlando and the Painted Oaks Academy. Admission tickets start at $15 per person and will vary per date. As space is limited, guests will be prompted to select a date and entrance time at the time of purchase. The event is expected to sell out, and all tickets must be purchased in advance online.
A “Beyond the Road” upgrade will also be available for $79 per car for both, the nighttime and daytime event. The nighttime add-on includes priority viewing location at each scene, access to an exclusive bonus scene and a digital photo taken during the experience. The daytime “Beyond the Road” upgrade will also include priority viewing, a digital photo plus a customized live greeting for the kids and a colorful rainbow car wash.
