Fortress of Fear

Fortress of Fear ScreamPark in Alliance, Ohio, is a premier Halloween destination, recognized as a three-time award winner for Top Rated Haunted Attraction by Ohio Haunted Houses. This immersive scream park combines multiple chilling experiences, blending high-energy scares with a carnival-like atmosphere, set across the expansive grounds of Funtimes Fun Park. The centerpiece, the Fortress of Fear Haunted Attraction, immerses guests in a gothic, medieval-inspired journey through a fallen empire dating back to the 1400s, where a fortress nearly burned to the ground, claiming lives and leaving paranormal activity in its wake. Visitors navigate detailed sets, including eerie corridors, a dark church with a self-playing organ, a haunted bedroom, and a witch’s lair, all enhanced by fog, strobe lights, and dynamic soundscapes. Over 50 professional actors, portraying ghostly inhabitants and menacing creatures, deliver intense jump scares and interactive performances, with standout moments like a secret bookshelf door revealing hidden horrors. The Fear Fair Scare Zone adds to the terror with a haunting freak show featuring menacing clowns and terrifying oddities, creating an unsettling outdoor experience. Additional attractions include amusement rides like Tilt-A-Hurl, a spinning ride with a creepy twist; GLO-Karts, glowing go-karts for a thrilling break; and Massacre Express, a spooky train ride through the park’s eerie landscape. The midway buzzes with a festive yet foreboding vibe, offering games, an arcade, and roaming actors who keep the scares alive outside the main haunts. Detailed props, such as William Blake-inspired artwork and hanging trees, amplify the gothic atmosphere, while the “Chicken Clause” humorously warns that those who exit early due to fear are escorted out with no re-admission, as actors may continue their torment. Due to uneven terrain and intense scares, the Fortress of Fear is not recommended for children under 12 or those with mobility issues. With its blend of immersive haunts, thrilling rides, and a vibrant midway, Fortress of Fear ScreamPark delivers an unforgettable Halloween adventure for thrill-seekers.
