A: No. Upon exiting the park grounds through the main gate you
may not return later that night, so choose wisely!!
Q: Can I get a refund if I get too scared by the Scare Park?

Q: Can I get a refund if I am NOT scared by the Scare Park?
A: No. You paid for your admission ticket, we admitted you into
the park grounds, we did what you paid for. Something being scary is
an opinion and we do our best to provide a wide variety of themes and
scares with the hopes that something will get you. If anything, we
hope that our elaborately themed environments that are a departure
from your daily life will be enough to be entertaining and keep your
interest.
Q: What is a “Skeleton Key Pass – Single Admission” ticket?
A:
The Skeleton Key Passes are “front of line service” tickets.
If you purchase one, you may cut to the front of the line all night,
only on the night that the ticket was purchased and is only valid
for a single park admission.
Q: Why should I pay more money for a Skeleton Key Pass?
A: Unlike many haunted attractions around the nation that are typically
in a building, with one line, with one haunted attraction and as soon
as you exit that one attraction, its over. We are a haunted amusement
park. We have multiple attractions around the park resulting in many
lines to wait in. If you are one who dislikes waiting in long lines
we suggest that you purchase a Skeleton Key ticket and enjoy the park
without any lines. This includes the line to enter the park when we
open at 7pm.
Q: Do I actually get some sort of key with the Skeleton Key Pass ticket?
A: No. Its just the name that we came up with for the ticket.

Q: Will special event tickets be available for purchase at the door

it is printed. To attend a special event you must buy a ticket
from the group that is distributing them.
» Rules of the Scare Park
Q: Can I dress up in a Halloween costume and come to the Scare Park?
I mean, it is a Halloween event after all.
A: NO. This event features actors in costume. To avoid confusion
we require that guests DO NOT arrive in costume. Besides, you're
paying admission for US to dress up and entertain YOU, not the other
way around. Additionally we request that you don’t wear any open toed shoes,
so please don’t wear sandals or any heels.
Q: After I go through the mazes do I have to leave the park grounds?
A: No. The Scare Park will be open from 7pm-10pm. However much
time you spend in the park is up to you. The park is "free roam".
You are welcome to go through the mazes and scare zones as many times
as you please during our hours of operation. So hang out, get scared
until you can’t take it anymore; enjoy all that we’re bringing
to you for this event!!
Q: May my child go to the Scare Park alone?
A: Children the age of 17 or younger MUST be accompanied by a responsible
adult (18 or older) or an adult guardian at ALL TIMES. The Scare Park
is not a babysitter, unattended small terrified crying children will
be placed in the cage with the walking undead and fed to them as their
dinner. Any groups of children trying to buy admission tickets without
an adult present will be REFUSED admission. As well as any groups of
children discovered in the park without an adult present will be escorted
out of the park and instructed to arrange for a ride home. DO NOT DROP
A VAN FULL OF TEENAGERS OFF AT THE FRONT GATE or BUY TICKETS FOR EVERYONE;
GET THEM INTO THE PARK AND LEAVE. THEIR ACTIONS AND BEHAVIORS ARE YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY AND YOU NEED TO BE THERE TO INSURE THAT THEY ARE BEHAVING
LIKE CIVILIZED HUMAN BEINGS.
Q: I am a friend/relative/casual acquaintance of one or more of the
owners of The Ravine Waterpark, so I can do whatever I like.
A: NO. (Also, that wasn't a question.) The Scare Park Halloween
event is NOT OWNED by any of the owners of the Ravine Waterpark.
It is owned, built, designed and managed by a 3rd party company
and the park grounds is rented out for this event. Knowing the
park owners will not get you any special pricing or treatment and you
are not allowed to misbehave or cause a fuss because of your connection
to them. The park owners do not have any say on how the Scare Park is
managed. Please be on your best behavior.
Q: Because this is an exciting, edgy Halloween event, once I enter the
park grounds the laws of the United States disappear and I can behave
however I want and hit people, right?
A: NO. If you enter the Scare Park and begin to hit, threaten or
harass or intimidate any of our actors or damage or steal our props
or mazes our security team will remove you from the park. If your offence
is severe enough the police will be called and charges will be
pressed against you and you WILL GO TO JAIL. Again, PLEASE be on your
best behavior. It takes an entire YEAR to build this event and 5 weeks
of over 12 hour work days of assembly to put it together. All that work
and effort is entirely JUST to provide YOU with some entertainment. Please
don't put a damper on all of that just because you thought it would be
funny to punch the person wearing a costume in the face. Its not the
slightest bit amusing. We work hard for you, show all that hard work
a little respect please.
