Dark Harbor is back - but don't turn your back 'cause you never know who or what is creeping up on you.

Shipwrecked - Brace for Impact
During a blackout voyage, a single command sealed the fate of hundreds. Relive the ship’s most chilling collision, where drowned sailors return from the depths to haunt the vessel that left them behind. 

Lullaby - Teddy's Revenge
In the depths of the Queen Mary’s first-class swimming pool, the sinisterly playful ghost of Scary Mary rises to accost passengers and guide them toward a watery abyss.

Infirmary - The Siren Song
The wicked spirits of a sadistic surgeon and his accomplice in life, Graceful Gale, torment the living with ghastly echoes of their gruesome procedures.

Big Top Terror - Carnival of Chaos
No ordinary circus, this trap is a deadly labyrinth of jack o’lanterns designed to ensnare the souls of the innocent. 

Voodoo - The Queen's Curse
A ruthless Priestess rises from a decayed bayou to seize the Queen Mary’s power. Will you escape her curse or join her collection?

Breakout - Maximum Security
Infamous stateroom, B340 finds Samuel the Savage in a prison cell. Now you’re processed as the jail’s newest inmate while alarms scream, guards fall, and Samuel hunts. Can the walls hold him… or you?

Lady Mabel Presents Scary Mary's Dark Seance
Join Lady Mabel on board the ship for an intimate séance as she attempts to contact the spirit of Scary Mary. What begins as a paranormal investigation quickly spirals into a terrifying encounter with one of the Queen Mary’s most infamous ghosts.

Alien Abduction
Step inside a mysterious spacecraft and prepare for liftoff as powerful forces pin you to the walls while the chamber spins around you. Immersive lighting, eerie sounds, and sensations of weightlessness

Blacklight Bumper Cars
The Ringmaster’s latest spectacle puts you behind the wheel in a glowing arena of neon mayhem. Dodge and crash through the chaos in custom bumper cars.

Sinister Swings
Towering Wave Swinger engineered by Zierer of Germany whisks you into wide, whirling arcs high above the fog and screams of the harbor.

SEE PHOTOS FROM THE DARK HARBOR GALLERY & VIDEO

"Passengers" wind through musty smelling areas, where your eyes catch a glimpse of the empty pool in which a little girl named Mary drowned decades ago. You can see her wandering with her teddy at Dark Harbor, and throughout the year people report seeing her wet footsteps or hearing a giggle of laughter or splash when there's no water in the pool. The ghost was documented on "Unsolved Mysteries" many years ago.
