I'm traveling to Carowinds' adapted Halloween version of its park called "SCarowinds" tonight. I've never been to a "scare park," but it got me thinking: how many other amusement parks turn into fright fests by night?
Scare parks are generally only open in October in commemoration of Halloween. What a perfect time of year to visit. We can forget about all that comes with the general mid-summer theme park visit: no long lines while dying in the heat, gulping down $5 bottles of water to stay hydrated...and did I mention the horrible farmer's tan lines?
Yes, fall is perhaps the ideal time of year to visit a scary amusement park and take the risk of wetting your pants. (You think I'm kidding, but sources have told me there is a high likelihood of this at SCarowinds.)
If you're looking for a fun way to spend the Halloween season this year, check out this CNN article for a list of theme parks celebrating All Hallows Eve in frightening style this year.
But don't just beware of the creepy goblins stalking you; be prepared to shell up to $70 for a general admission pass.
Halloween theme parks are a great way to go beyond the stereotypical reaches of travel. So put aside your museum passes and passports, and be prepared for more...frightening...travel memories:
