HAUNTED SHIP

The attraction is fictional.
The ship’s ghost stories aren’t.

Long before The Devil’s Sea came aboard, stories of unexplained footsteps, shadowy figures, voices, strange sounds, and unexplained encounters were already part of the USS Hornet’s history.

THE ATTRACTION

ENTER THE
DEVIL'S SEA

  • DARK CORRIDORS.
  • TWISTED CREATURES.
  • SUDDEN SCARES.
  • THINGS FROM BELOW.

Those who cross into the Devil’s Sea are forever changed.

Called to drink from the waters of the Bay by the voices below, they are promised power, wealth, and pleasures beyond imagination, only to be left with an unquenchable thirst for its bloody depths.

This Halloween, step aboard the USS Hornet and enter a ship overtaken by the madness of the Devil’s Sea.

Make your way below deck through the Haunted Hornet.

COME ABOARD.
