Chills at the Fort
Fort Edmonton Park is unleashing three new scare attractions starting this weekend. And they fall under the moniker of DARK.As you walk through the spooky, deserted streets of the park, there is nowhere to hide but in the dark where three state-of-the-art horror experiences will pump out the adrenalin and the screams.
You can fight to survive an unlucky encounter with a hungry cult, endure a haunting experience from a doomed wedding party, or go head-to-head with a pack of flesh-eating werewolves.
“DARK will be a world-class immersive experience that will rival any in the industry,” said Darren Dalgleish, president and CEO of Fort Edmonton Management Co.
Tickets are $30 for access to all three haunts. Visit www.fortedmontonpark.ca/dark/
