New Immersive Fall Halloween Attraction Transforms Camelbeach Mountain Waterpark into a Shocking Quarantined Post-Apocalyptic World
TANNERSVILLE, Pa. – On Thursday, September 17, Camelback Resort will take Halloween to new dramatic heights with “The Curse of Camelback,” an immersive post-apocalyptic experience that will transform Camelbeach Mountain Waterpark and the surrounding mountain terrain into the fictional location of a terrifying chemical outbreak.
Beginning at the base of the mountain, guests are recruited to join a fictional emergency response mission following a chemical accident. According to the storyline, chemicals used during the excavation of new winter trails mixed with pool-cleaning compounds to create mysterious toxic fumes that cause people exposed to them to vilely mutate.
Guests board the mountain lift and travel uphill to Camelbeach and enter the containment zone where the rescue mission quickly takes a terrifying turn.
As guests navigate an abandoned emergency response camp, fog-filled waterpark attractions, chemical spills, barricades, eerie tunnels and maze-like paths, they come face-to-face with horribly mutated characters and unexpected scares. Missing-persons posters, emergency signage and other details throughout the experience reveal the story of the outbreak – which raise questions about how this all happened.
The guests ultimately meet Gary, the outbreak’s “patient zero,” who has undergone a horrifying transformation producing more of the toxic gas. Guests must escape through a series of final scares before reaching safety.
Designed as an immersive Halloween experience, The Curse of Camelback combines theatrical storytelling, elaborate sets, special effects, costumed characters and jump scares with the unique terrain of Camelback Mountain to create this chilling post-apocalyptic world.
“More than a haunted attraction – this experience takes guests on a journey from the base of the mountain into a completely altered world,” said Jason Bays, vice president and general manager of the year-round recreational destination resort. “We’re excited to introduce ‘The Curse of Camelback’ as the premiere experience of our new annual Halloween tradition with a different story and theme to come year after year.”
The Curse of Camelback runs Thursday, September 17, through Sunday, November 8, from 6 to 10 p.m. Thursdays and Sundays and 6 p.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays.
