For example, for a ticket purchased for the 7:00pm slot, you should arrive between 7:00pm and 7:30pm. We cannot guarantee you will be admitted during the :30 minute window you select. However, arriving in your time block will reduce crowding and allow for quicker admission and lower wait times overall.

Please be aware: Wait times per slot may extend to an hour or more on our most busy nights. We are confident our very high quality experience is worth any wait in line. In addition, should the wait become too long, we make upgrades available to Immediate Access throughout the night. If you desire an Immediate Access, you may upgrade a Regular Admission ticket to Immediate Access at any time, on any night, by simply visiting our Ticket Booth and paying for an upgrade guaranteed.

Video recording and Photography: Can we take video or pictures while inside?
NO. No video taking or photography of any kind is allowed. This is an important and strict policy.
The haunt is an intense experience. Character interactions, special effects, sound and lighting special effects are constantly while you are inside. All guests are required to continuously walk through each room at a reasonable pace without stopping. Stopping or moving too slowly will disrupt the operations of actors and effects and slow the flow of overall traffic causing groups of people to catch up to each other. In addition, it is very dark inside. If you distract yourself to focus on taking video or photos, you put yourself at risk of potential injury by tripping or otherwise losing track of what you are doing.
We have security cameras running throughout the maze. If you are observed taking photos or video, you will be pulled aside and subject to removal without refund.
Thank you for your cooperation with this important policy. Keep your phones and cameras securely inside your pocket while you are inside the haunt. You will have a better, more enjoyable experience without the distraction of attempting to film or photograph your visit inside.

Purchase tickets online or at the door at our Ticket Booth (cash only sales at the Ticket Booth).
Are there separate lines for each Attraction entrance?
No. All of Reign of Terror’s Attractions are inter-connected! There may be a wait once you enter the building, but this main queue line is part of the experience and provides entertainment while you approach the main entrance of the Haunt. Once you enter the Haunt, you will be inside until the very last room. Because all the Attractions are inter-connected, when you will finish walking through one attraction you will immediately enter the start of the next. It’s a continuous, one-way walk from start to finish. Typical walk through time is 25 – 30 minutes or more for the full experience.
