Hallow Mountain Graveyard
WILL YOU DARE TO STAY AFTER DARK WHEN THE UNDEAD RISE, SEEKING THEIR WAY OFF HALLOW MOUNTAIN?
During the harvest moon, the lost souls of anguished settlers become the undead, rising from their graves, desperately searching for a way off Hallow Mountain as zombies, eager to harvest souls to share their misery.
Meet the Gravedigger as he weaves a tale from long ago then takes you on a journey through Hallow Mountain Graveyard.
NOTE: Graveyard tours begin 1/2 after Sunset. Only those ages 12 and up will be allowed in this specifically designed area for an intense and realistic scare.
Zombie Ziplining
Oooooooo Zombie Ziplining … Zip your way through the dark of night and rappel into the depths of darkness. A single beacon of light will guide your way through almost 3,000 feet of ziplining fun. View the night sky while zipping almost a half-mile on 3 lines 125’ above the forest floor at speeds up to 35 MPH! Then, plunge into darkness on our 2 rappel drops up to 70’ high above the ground.
Guests will enjoy the night views of the city as they travel back to Firefly Village on the chairlift.
