Nicholas was back out at Canada's Wonderland today and sent us some great shots of AlpenFury progress. If you missed our last update from a few weeks ago, you can check it out here. 

There is still a lot to be done on the coaster, and if we had to guess at this point we're looking at a mid to late July opening.

​LONG BEACH, CA (May 28, 2025) - Last fall, SoCal fan favorite Halloween event The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor returned after a four-year hiatus with new production partner Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group. This year, horror enthusiasts won’t have to wait to get their Halloween fix. It may only be June, but Dark Harbor is back once again with the ultimate Friday the 13th scare.

For one night only, descend into the Feast maze in complete darkness, each group armed with nothing but a single glow stick. Navigate the twisted kitchens and galley halls where The Butcher waits patiently for fresh meat. The maze ends with a brand new sick and surreal finale sequence, where guests witness the aftermath of his most horrifying banquet yet.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Dark Harbor to the public beyond the Halloween season for the first time in the event’s history,” Thirteenth Floor’s Director of Special Projects, Brett Bertolino, states, “We look forward to bringing the scares and taking the intensity up a notch with the blackout version of Feast!”

In addition to the Feast maze, guests can sip sinister cocktails, grab eerie eats, and explore the Spirits of Dark Harbor and the ship’s historic Engine Room. Combo ticket holders will also have the opportunity to experience The Summoning of Samuel, a séance where the legend of B340 is resurrected in an interactive, actor-driven ritual. No other Dark Harbor attractions or experiences will be available during this special event. 

This event is open to the public only on Friday, June 13th, 2025. Tickets are available now, beginning at $19.99 + fees, and are expected to sell out quickly.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.darkharborhalloween.com/friday13/. For more information and season updates, sign up at www.darkharborhalloween.com and follow Dark Harbor on Facebook and Instagram.

​The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor is located at The Queen Mary - 1126 Queens Hwy., Long Beach, CA 90802. On-site parking is limited. Attendees are strongly encouraged to use rideshare or carpool.
