2026 ATTRACTIONS
Jason Voorhees, the world’s most feared slasher from the Friday the 13th franchise, has stabbed his way through your nightmares for years. This Halloween season, get ready to finally come face-to-face with Jason. He’s coming for you.
You’ll feel his terrifying presence around each turn. Keep moving, and somehow, Jason’s already ahead of you. When his mask emerges from the darkness, he’s close enough to count every crack and scratch.
You can’t outsmart him. And there’s nowhere to hide. Once you see him, it’s too late.
Your only hope is that you make it to morning in Jason Universe: Survive the Night!
This is an officially licensed Jason Universe walkthrough haunted attraction. TM & (copyright symbol) Horror, Inc.
Officially, Vector Research XIII never existed.
Hidden behind reinforced walls and sealed corridors, the facility was built to push the limits of science without questions or oversight. Its lead researcher pursued experimental compounds that transformed test subjects into unstable horrors, forcing the laboratory into permanent lockdown.
The experiments were never destroyed… They were simply locked inside.
Once upon a time… Something went horribly wrong.
You’ve wandered into a place where every happily ever after has rotted away. Castles lie in ruins, enchanted forests have become hunting grounds, and the creatures of legend have grown cruel with age.
Every path leads deeper into a kingdom consumed by darkness, where monsters rule the pages and no hero is coming to save you.
Some shows never end.
Step inside an aging theater where the curtains have long since closed, but one loyal usher still roams the aisles. Silent and ever-watchful, they guide every guest to the perfect seat… whether you want it or not.
As the lights fade and the reels begin to turn, you’ll realize this performance wasn’t made for the screen.
You’re not here to watch the feature. You’re part of it.
The sweetest place in town has a terrible secret.
Behind the bright colors, sugary treats, and smiling faces lurks Mr. Sweets’, a grinning figure who has been waiting in the shadows far longer than anyone remembers. The scent of candy hangs heavy in the air, but beneath it lies something far more sinister.
Those who wander too far inside don’t simply disappear.
They become part of Mr. Sweets’ collection.

BRAND NEW FOR 2026!
- vip experience
- LIMITED AVAILABILITY
A camp counselor leads your group into a rustic cabin, and for the first time all night you feel like you have the upper hand. The counselors have been tracking Jason so they know what’s coming next and are about to hand control of how Jason will attack over to you.
You see a screen light up in the dark and four buttons nearby are labeled: Panic. Slash. Strike. Stalk. Each one controls how Jason will attack next, and the choice is yours. You are the director of Jason’s next scene. His victims will never know strangers in a cabin decided their fate.
Your group gets a moment in the director’s chair—but never forget that Jason controls the rest of the night.
Extremely limited availability each night. Directors leave with a limited-edition collectible “Jason Universe: Director’s Cut” patch.
