SCarowinds Unveils New Horror Maze: South Carolina

CAROWINDS — SCarowinds officials announced Monday their most ambitious and terrifyingly realistic attraction to date: a full-scale immersive horror maze simply titled, “South Carolina”.

Park officials confirmed that entry requires no ticket scan; guests are simply instructed to walk over the painted state line, at which point the horror experience begins immediately.

The maze will reportedly feature a number of harrowing challenges for guests, including driving across the South Carolina border without losing a tire to a pothole the size of a hot tub, an interactive room where you’re trapped behind someone trying to pay for gas with an alligator, a disorienting hall of mirrors made entirely of fireworks superstores, and a sudden, unskippable conversation about Clemson football that you cannot escape.

“For years, we’ve built elaborate sets to simulate terror,” said a park spokesperson. “But then we realized the most authentic horror experience was already here. We just had to acknowledge it.”

When reached for comment, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster said he was proud to “put the ‘SC’ in “SCarowinds”.
