What is different in 2026
- Scheduled 2026 nights: September 18–20 and 25–27; October 2–4, 8–11, 15–18, 22–25 and 29–31; November 1. Selected Thursdays include October 8, 15, 22 and 29.
- October 15 is scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. PDT (America/Los_Angeles), checked October 9. October 14 is listed closed. Recheck the official selected-date calendar before visiting.
- The October 15 calendar lists Unleashed at 6:30 p.m. and the Fright Fest event block from 7 to 11 p.m. This is not a promise that every maze opens at 6:30; use the official app for individual times.
- Each guest needs park admission or a valid pass. Maze entry requires a Haunted Attractions Pass unless a selected bundle explicitly includes both. Maze Express is a separate queue upgrade unless included; ordinary ride Fast Lane does not establish maze admission or maze Express.
- Fright Fest is not recommended for children under 13; that is guidance, not a stated admission prohibition. Re-entry is not permitted after 9 p.m.
- No October 15 checkout total has been verified. Generic advertised starting prices are not a quote for that night; verify selected-date prices, taxes, fees, parking and product inclusions.
- New 2026 mazes include Final Destination: Death’s Playground and Wolves’ Blood.
