These actors have targets built into their costumes that are triggered by your weapons and will signify you when they have been defeated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Groups are strictly limited to 1 – 6 members going through the experience together. Groups larger than 6 will be split into smaller groups. There are no exceptions to this rule and it is for the safety and satisfaction of all our guests. Some rooms in the attraction are too small for groups larger than 6. You will only go through the experience with guests you arrived with. You will not be placed with anyone you don’t know. You may do this experience in groups smaller than 6 and you can even go alone.
We provide no guarantees on the length of the experience because it is based on how quickly you travel through the experience. On average most guests spend 30 minutes in the mission not including time for group photo ops, waiting in line, or shopping in Fear Gear store.
When planning your visit please allow for at least 90 minutes between the time you arrive and the time you leave. If you are purchasing multiple time slots in the same day please give ample time between.
You must be at least 13 years of age to attend the event. Anyone under 15 years of age MUST have at least one parent/guardian in the group. Everyone must sign a waiver before entering the attraction and anyone under 18 must have a parent sign on their behalf.
Please be aware that this is a very graphic and violent experience featuring full size and weight weapons and 50+ live performers. We want everyone to have fun but this is not an event intended for children. Do not mistake this event with your kids playing classic laser tag.
You will select an Arrival Time when purchasing your tickets. This is the time you will join the waiting line, this is not a guaranteed time you will start your mission. Wait times for this event are usually very minimal but unexpected delays are always possible so plan accordingly.
All guests will get the entire experience regardless of what Arrival Time you select. Do not be afraid to select a later Arrival Time, you will not be rushed and the attraction will be fully operational until the last group is complete. Later Arrival Times usually have shorter wait times as well.
