New immersive experiences part of Halloween festivities at Canada’s Wonderland this year

Halloween at Canada’s Wonderland is something GTA theme park fans look forward to all year, but this year their leveling up their game even further with creepy new immersive experiences.

As always, the festivities will include the park’s usual regular Halloween Haunt, but this year Canada’s Wonderland is bringing in a new immersive experience based off of The Conjouring series of movies.

Halloween Haunt consists of theme park fun including haunted mazes, “scare zones,” live entertainment and specialty food and drink options. Haunted maze experiences include The Dark Ride, Cornstalkers, Demons of the Deep with twisted failed experiments on aquatic creatures, the cursed mansion of Spirit Manor, The Crypt’s catacomb filled with bones, and The Ruins.

There will be over half a dozen scare zones with costumed creatures ready to leap out at you behind every dark corner. The scare zones have all kinds of themes, like Carnevil with freak show performers and creepy clowns, Gates of Terror, Kingdom of Carnage where a dark and evil king wages war, Necropolis with tombs and crypts, Trick or Treat Street, Wicked Hollow with fairies and dark magic, and Streets of the Undead with zombies.

Live acts will include live bands, a freak show, fire performances by “demons” and a percussion experience with LEDs and water drumming for a full sensory experience.

But when it comes to The Conjuring: Beyond Fear experience, you’re not prepared.

In the interactive experience, you hunt through various iconic scenes from the Conjuring movie series to try to lock away secret scary artifacts. You play the role of a paranormal investigator recruited by Conjuring characters Ed and Lorraine Warren. You’ll see classic figures from the movie like The Nun, The Ferryman and The Crooked Man and as you try to lock the creepy doll Annabelle back in her case before it’s too late.

There are even chilling, eerily bubbling drinks in frightful colours to go along with the experience like Missing Annabelle with vodka, lime, orange liqueur and cranberry, The Nun’s Habit with rum, pineapple juice, coconut milk and blue curacao, and the Crooked Man Smash with bourbon, lemonade, cherry and ginger beer. There’s even a black margarita with a black sugar rim called Valak’s Vice.

Halloween festivities taking place at Canada’s Wonderland after dark aren’t recommended for kids under 13 years old, so there’s Camp Spooky for younger kids with programming before sunset.

Halloween Haunt will run on select nights from Sept. 26 to Nov. 1.
