This past weekend the highly anticipated Dark Horizon opened in Orlando. Brought to us by our friends at Queen Mary's Dark Harbor, this event continues some of the amazing stories of that event and gives them a Florida Flair. 

Renee and Tyler were there two nights this past weekend and definitely enjoyed themselves. Let's check it out!! 

Written by Renée Girard
Tonight is opening night for Orlando’s brand new haunt, Dark Horizon: Point of No Return. Dark Harbor on the west coast is amazing so I can’t wait to see what they’ve brought here!
Picture
Picture
The red carpet is set and we’re ready for a night of fun and fear!
Picture
Picture
The characters are beginning to emerge and we’re seeing some impressive acts.
Picture
Picture
Picture
More creatures are coming out to greet the crowd.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
There’s some tasty food to sample too!
Picture
So far everyone looks awesomely creepy. Really looking forward to seeing what’s lurking inside the houses.
Picture
Picture
The cast of Ghost Ship welcomes us aboard.
Picture
Picture
Bloody Watson and the gang of Murder Island might be the creepiest of all.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Dark Harbor has secret bars, and they’ve brought that tradition to the east coast.
Picture
A backpack full of alcohol? Yes please!
Picture
We’re going in!
Picture
Picture
​The Vodou House had some cool scares, and I had to crawl through a separate maze to get out! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
​There is a stage in the middle where different acts perform, like this guy tossing around fire!
Picture
Picture
Picture
​I love unique aspects of haunted houses when you get to do something other than simply walk through!
Picture
Ghost Ship and Murder Island are the other two houses and they’re both really well done! The secret bar is located inside Ghost Ship, which is a lot of fun when you find it.
Picture
Picture
​Not gonna lie, we had quite a bit to drink, but everything we had was delicious! I think the Poisoned Apple from the Cellar Bar was my favorite. I feel like there was so much to see and do, but we’ll be going back for more Saturday night!
Picture
Picture

​Back for more
Picture
​Love the secret bar!
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Got to see a different stunt show tonight with some aerial performances. 
Picture
​Going down the slide on the Ghostship!
Picture
​We hit all the houses again! Taking a break at the bars and then time for some more scares.
Picture
Picture
Picture
​A look at a map and a view of the event from above. We’ve had such a fun time at Dark Horizon this week and hope that it continues a successful run for the rest of this month!

Queen Mary's Dark Harbor 2019 Opening Night

9/27/2019

Last night was the opening of one of our favorite events of the Halloween season, Queen Mary's Dark Harbor. 

We were on-hand to take in all of the mazes and more at the event. We also were able to get video of most of the mazes and of course, lots of pictures. 

Written by Gregg Condon
When we got there it was still a bit light out 
Picture
Maybe a nap before we head in? 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Soon the sun came down and the Captain welcomed us into the event 
Picture
Picture
As we like to do at most of these events, a live-stream of the opening moments. 
An overview of the event from the VIP lounge

Picture
The event always features some amazing lighting design
Picture
Picture
We of course took in all of the mazes and video'd most of them (the one for Feast didn't come out as well as we would have liked). But we hope you enjoy these!! 

The new maze for 2019, Rogue which replaces the fan-favorite Deadrise. A similar type theme, some really amazing special effects. Wish they would have kept the Deadrise ending though. That fog tunnel was always amazing. 
The Iron Master is back. We did notice a few new things this year in the maze, fun as always. 
Lullaby had a new path this year and a really creepy scene in the pool. One of the highlights of the event as always. 
Picture
It took a few years for B340 to hit it's stride, but this is definitely now one of our favorites at Dark Harbor
And last, but certainly never least, Circus is back with some new treats for you all. 
We of course had to take in the Slider show
Picture
We decided to do a bit of a different perspective on the show this year, we actually really dig out this came out. Hope you will too. 
Picture
Some more of the amazing props around the event

Best name for a bar ever

They also have some amazing character posters. We tried to get the best angle on these as we could. 
We're making plans to return to Dark Harbor 2019 to have even more fun with some of our favorite monsters. 
Picture
We'll have some more pics and video in the next few days from Scott. So stay tuned!!
