Don’t let all that daylight fool you… The Voodoo Bayou Shanty is one of this year’s scariest new attractions, and this behind-the-screams shot of our outdoor “moody bayou” setting is just a little teaser of how we’re putting it all together inside.
One of the things that makes the Land of Illusion so freaky unique is just how many screaming attractions we have. The Voodoo Bayou Shanty is one of THREE new attractions that we guarantee will scare the tar out of you…
How did we get a hold of the Voodoo Bayou Shanty, you ask? With a little dose of that ol’ black magic, of course.
We heard that strange things were happening at a haunted shanty deep in the Louisiana bayou, and you know we’re suckers for fright. That infested, spectral swampland had been owned for over a century by the bloody Dubois family, which first came to local attention back in 1890 when Bloody Bill Dubois was caught and killed by a local mob accusing him of practicing dark magic.
Bloody Bill cursed the townsfolk that day… and the bayou… and the shack his family built upon it. Or so they said.
At the Land of Illusion, we’re always looking for a good scare. So we crept on up to the shanty on a hot, dead, Louisiana summer night to find out what all the fuss was about. And what we saw… we knew you’d have to see to believe.
We took apart the Dubois family bayou shanty and re-assembled it – piece by piece – right here at the Land of Illusion Theme Park. The Dubois family even came on up north with their shanty… and brought their dark magic with them.
The staging we do around the main event, like the photo above? Well, you can’t blame us if we like to draw a thin line between magic and theatrics. It’s no fun if you can see exactly where we draw the line…
Think you can handle the Voodoo Bayou Shanty?
