The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor Returns to the Infamously Haunted Ship
The Queen Mary's Dark Harbor Returns to the Infamously Haunted Ship on October 1 with a new maze named Lullaby. Based on one of the Dark Harbor icon's named Scary Mary, the Lullaby maze promises to be one of the most terrifying mazes yet.
Lullaby will take fear-seekers on a terrifying voyage with Dark Harbor’s youngest soul, Scary Mary, who has haunted the Queen Mary ever since her horrific drowning in the poolroom in 1952. Mary was a bad seed from birth. Before her death, mysterious tragedies and unexplained occurrences seemed to follow in Mary’s wake. She isn’t looking for just one playmate; she wants a whole playground of souls to play with in the afterlife. She can be spotted through out Dark Harbor, but the poolroom of the ship is her playroom. One must proceed through Lullaby with caution, as it may be the last journey through Dark Harbor as a mortal soul.
The annual event begins October 1 and continues to scare those who dare through November 1. Ticket prices start at just $20 online, with Fast Fright, VIP Passes, and lodging packages available.
