For the 15th straight year, Fright Fest at Wild Waves Theme Park (36201 Enchanted Parkway S., Federal Way) will be open from Sept. 30 to Oct. 30.

Park-goers can put their bravery to the test each weekend by exploring two haunted houses and a new haunted trail. The Chamber of Souls, “a labyrinth of monsters and mischief,” and The Playground, “a three-dimensional haunted house,” will be joined this year by Camp Whispering Pines, “a new summer-camp-gone-wrong haunted trail,” according to Wild Waves representatives.

The park’s rides, 20 in all, will also operate in the dark.

Booville, a scare-free zone for children 12 and under, will offer crafts, games and the “Monster Dance-a-long” show. New to Booville this year will be a mini Halloween-themed carnival with candy prizes and a magic act by Xachary the Magician (as seen on the TV show “America’s Got Talent”).

Tickets are available online, at the park’s front gate, and at participating Safeway and Albertsons stores. The Fright Fest admission tickets can be complemented by the RIP Pass, which allows express line access to rides and haunted houses.

General admission tickets purchased online are $22.99 or $9.99 for kids and seniors. Tickets at the gate are $27.99 or $12.99 for kids and seniors. The RIP Pass is $25.
