Queen Mary Dark Harbor Mazes Announced for 2018
Queen Mary Dark Harbor Mazes Get a Major Overhaul for 2018
All was revealed at this years Midsummer Scream. Dark Harbor at The Queen Mary in Long Beach Begins September 27th offering 23 nights of horror. Explore new paths and secret rooms, nightly live entertainment, haunted bars and exciting rides. This year the haunt is getting a complete overhaul including newly constructed interactive maze paths, an all new event layout, and six terrifying mazes all at one of the most haunted places in America.
With the creative mind of Jon Cooke (formerly with Knott's Scary Farm) on the design team this year, Dark Harbor is completely reimagining their mazes, adding more interactive elements and delving deeper than before into the stories and the characters behind them. All your favorites have returned to Queen Mary's Dark Harbor. On Board the ship find:
B340 Retrace the steps of Samuel the Savage as you are guided along the crime trail to solve the gruesome murder that occurred during a routine cross-Atlantic voyage in October of 1948. Follow the lead detective on the scene, uncover the evil truth behind one of the most notorious crimes on board the cruise liner in stateroom B340. What ever happened to Samuel you ask? He was discovered in the infamous room dead, ripped to shreds by his own hands.
Lullaby will bring out the inner child in you as you play a chilling game of hide-and-seek with Scary Mary's toy bear. After being shoved into his own oven and succumbing to his injuries three days later by suffocating, Chef returns again this year and is looking for little revenge in his maze
FEAST. There will be many obstacles within this maze, just think of all the kitchen appliance you may "run" into. The location of this maze has been moved from the bow to the stern of the ship this year where Soulmate perviously was.
This Lullaby won't be singing you to sleep at night

Circus! Sneak into the circus after hours, but don't get caught! Escape the Ringmaster’s big top before becoming a specimen in the oddities museum all with a surprise ending.
Deadrise! Head to boot camp with Half Hatch Henry for a reimagined storyline of the fan-favorite maze. Experience Captain’s rigorous training camp and fear around every turn as you climb over cargo nets and scale over obstacles all to find yourself smack in the middle of a scare zone! Keep all your senses sharp and alert in this one. Find the secret lounge above for a birds eye view of all the scares and even take part in them.
Intrepid takes you to John Browns' Shipyard. Try to hide from the lurking creatures in the Scottish Highlands aboard Iron Master’s express train to hell all while keeping your body parts intact.
