The Haunted Amusement Park — Scare Trail

A one-mile, roughly 30-minute scare trail built through the remains of the former Marshal Scotty’s Playland, where decaying rides create the backdrop for live actors and themed scenes. The route passes beneath an old roller coaster and through bumper cars, a 3D black-light section, vortex and claustrophobia tunnels, a circus maze, graveyard, witch’s cottage and multiple violent set pieces. The organizer requires closed-toe shoes, bars children under five and does not recommend the experience for children under ten.
