Whether you enjoy a physical scare or a physiological scare, Fortress holds something for you. New this year, take aim at zombie targets with airsoft, enjoy some frightful food in our food court, and watch some of the scariest independent films.

For those daring and more adventurous souls, plunge into the heart of darkness within the Tunnels of Terror.
