SHAKOPEE, Minn., (September 14, 2015) – Trail of Terror, from the producers of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, is celebrating the 22st year of terror beginning Friday, Oct. 11, 2015. Dates for the 2015 season are October 9-11, 16-18, 23-25, 30 and 31 starting at 7:00 p.m. Trail of Terror is considered the Twin Cities largest and scariest Halloween event with more than 2.5 miles of scares and horrors, indoors and out.
Returning to the Trail of Terror is the popular Zombie Paintball with two new paintball trails. Humanity has been compromised by the viral outbreak of the ZN2 disease. Recruit your bravest friends to save Terror Town from the apocalyptic spread of the afflicted. In addition to the main event, participants can challenge their friends at the Zombie Paintball Target Range to hone their paintball skills in an eerie graveyard setting.
Trail of Terror attendees can duck into one of the few safe havens left in the Dark Woods at the Schell’s Craft Brew Pub. Serving up a showcased selection of locally brewed craft beers, friends and family can relax between frightening events.
In addition to the new attractions, Trail of Terror favorites can be found all season long. Can you find your way out of the Dark Woods? Zig zag your way through the Howling Pines Woods Walk, a sense of dread filling your stomach with every turn. Or book your room at Harmony’s best accommodations, Hotel 666, in the largest heated indoor maze in the Twin Cities. Looking for the ultimate in truly horrifying experiences? Sign away your rights to be touched in the scariest event in the Midwest. You’re strapped down, blindfolded on a gurney, helpless to the darkness around you. With shows every 20 minutes, Lockdown will leave you with spine tingling memories to last a lifetime.
The faint of heart won’t be left out during nightly Bean Bag and Beer Pong as well as the classic Hammerschlagen! Come warm up in the heated Club Scream tent, party with music and take a break from the frightening terrors of the night. Bring your friends and gather around the bonfire as you listen to a storyteller or pick your favorite tune and sing along with karaoke every night.
