| Description | Heartstoppers Haunted House Returns to the Old Mine Shaft Property for its 9th Annual Haunted House in Rancho Cordova
Annual fund-raiser supports Cordova Community Council’s many fun family events year-round
(Rancho Cordova, CA) -- Ready for a really good scare? Not only will you find some excellent haunts at the Heartstoppers Haunted House in Rancho Cordova, it is the ideal venue for such an attraction given the rumors that the “Old Mine Shaft” property itself is haunted.
Not only are there two different themed areas within the main building, there’s a spooky outdoor “Malice in Wonderland” haunt in the former mini golf course and a dark and creepy basement and caves to complete the experience with spooks in every corner.
Not scared enough? Aa new bonus attraction called the “Duel Dual” is available for a small additional fee with ticket purchase.
New this year is the “Malice in Wonderland” outdoor haunt, adjacent to the main building. Here’s a sneak peek:
“When her parents went missing, Alice was left alone in their estate. There was a couple of attempts to find her, but to no avail. Some believe she went mad from the isolation, others think she was still in there when the mansion was turned into a Rehabilitation Home for some of the West 's most dangerous criminals.…Going madder and madder. Now a new attempt to help find Alice has begun. Discover if she survived, or climbed into her brain forever.”
Another new addition will be a bonus escape room race called "Dual Duel." For a small additional fee, visitors will be separated into teams and locked into two rooms. The first team to figure out how to escape will set off traps to take the other group out! Winning team will receive free admittance back into two of the haunts at Heartstoppers, among other prizes.
Heartstoppers’ four main attractions are all reimagined this year but still loosely themed around the Old West including:
• Steamghàst Asylum (upstairs)
• Deadlands (in the basement)
• Tomb of Shadows (blackout maze in the tunnels near the basement)
Malice in Wonderland (outdoor haunt)Tickets include all attractions, plus an Old West Saloon waiting area indoors ( inclement weather won’t be a problem) where themed refreshments and souvenirs will be available to help guests prepare for or wind down from their Heartstoppers experience. An independent “spooky” photo studio will be set up for guests to capture a portrait of their Heartstoppers experience for a small additional fee.
Tickets are $20, or $15 for children 12 and under. For those who don’t have the guts to wait in line and enjoy the anticipation, Fancy Pants tickets for $30 ($25 for 12 & under) are available. For those wanting a truly unique and even more thrilling experience, pay $50 for a private tour via antique wheelchair with the guarantee of extra “attention” in the attractions. Only three of those tours are booked per night. For tickets visit http://www.scaredyou.com/tickets.
Heartstoppers has been bringing Halloween spooks and fun to the Sacramento region since 2007, always with the intention of giving back to the community. In partnership with the Cordova Community Council Foundation, Heartstoppers engages dozens of local youth volunteers each year. Students are exposed to creative arts education in animatronics, sound, lighting, art, theatre training (utilizing even out-of-state professional trainers), art development, construction, painting, costume and make-up design, and the volunteers gain valuable experience while having fun.
“Our volunteers are the heart of our organization,” explained Joel Watson, producer of Heartstoppers Haunted House. “We are grateful for their hard work and dedication to help us bring our vision to life for a premier haunted house experience that benefits th |
