Q: What happens if I get too scared?
A: Our actors are trained to scare people and that is the ultimate purpose of the Haunted Forest. If you or someone with you gets crazy scared or needs assistance for any reason while walking through the forest. Indicate to an actor that you need Help! The actor will then get in touch with our staff to assist you through and out of the Haunted Forest.
