“IN SEARCH OF SASQUATCH: CT BIGFOOT HALLOWEEN ADVENTURE” Opening Night is Friday, October 2nd
With all the recent Connecticut Sasquatch sightings, a Halloween attraction may prove once and for all whether there’s an actual Bigfoot in the state.
THE HAUNTED TROLLEY, Connecticut’s most unique Halloween experience, returns to the Shore Line Trolley Museum, 17 River Street in East Haven for the fifth year in a row with an all-new show this year. Whereas it debuted as a curated high-concept event mixing storytelling, the paranormal, theater, and the ride itself, and transitioned into a full-out on-board Murder Mystery Theatrical Experience, after the tradition continued with an ALIEN INVASION theme, this October the scares are bested by the laughs and fun of “IN SEARCH OF SASQUATCH: CT BIGFOOT HALLOWEEN ADVENTURE.”
This all-new exclusive Halloween-themed experience is very different from past productions. Guests will take an unforgettable ride aboard an ancient trolley with hosts who will turn their evening into a journey they won’t soon forget. It’s a live adventure that includes the interactive aspect of the evening plus the ride itself, and all visitors will get to meet a Sasquatch up close.
Limited to only 40 passengers per adventure, the event includes a pre-ride audio-visual orientation and introduction to the plot, followed by an immersive 30-45 minute show/program combining the Bigfoot encounter, thrills, theater, Halloween themes, audience participation, and a heavy dose of comedy – where the guests help decide the outcome of this curated adventure.
This is not an indoor or outdoor haunted attraction, it’s not a hayride, and it is not a trail in the woods. There are no zombies, no clowns, no masked monsters. There are no chainsaws, loud music, or teenaged actors chasing you or screaming in your ears. And there’s no waiting in line for hours! Expect fun + mystery + a lot of laughs aboard a great ride.
