From My Fox 35 Orlando!
With major Halloween events being canceled left and right due to the coronavirus pandemic, a group of Orlando-based entertainment experts have come up with a way to satisfy your need your scares — while maintaining social distancing.
The Haunted Road is a new, completely contactless Halloween experience coming to Central Florida.
The drive-thru event will be filled with a terrifying mix of theatrical storytelling, horrifying creatures, unexpected scares, and a twisted take on immortal tales.
“The entire event was designed with physical distancing measures in mind, from contact-free check-in by license plate, to immersive drive-in scenes,” according to a press release.
Guests will drive through a number of nightmarish scenes while being immersed into a “ghastly rendition of an untold story of Rapunzel as she journeys into a world of disarray, faces bloodcurdling creatures – and hundreds of shocking scares.”
For families looking for something that the kids can enjoy, a family-friendly version of the event will also be available during the daytime on select weekends.
“The daytime event will feature an adaptation of the immersive scenes and storyline, but trading screams for Halloween fun the entire family can enjoy.”
Dates and additional details will be revealed at a later time. Admission will start at $15 per person.
“With the arts and entertainment industry at a standstill, and an increasing need to find new, safe outdoor entertainment, we knew it was the perfect time to develop a unique Halloween experience so everyone can enjoy a dose of horror this upcoming Halloween season, from the comfort of their car,” said Jessica Mariko, executive producer and creative principal for The Haunted Road.
Mariko has had success in Orlando for a number of years with its first-of-its-kind entertainment experience DRIP, a theatrical dance/rock show and tourist attraction known for its full sensory environment and raw emotional audience connection. DRIP ran for 5 years on International Drive.
Michele also contributes theme park news for Fox 35 Orlando 11pm news and on the radio on WDBO.
