During Autumn at Oz, you can take a trip up to Beech Mountain, NC and be transported all the way to Kansas - where you’ll meet Almira Gulch, the Gale family, and Professor Marvel - and watch as they act out some of the opening scenes from the Wizard of Oz (in full color this time).

After opening shows, you’ll visit the Gale farmhouse and soon be transported by Tornado over the rainbow… into Oz itself!

Land of Oz runs the Autumn at Oz festival during select weekends each September!

SCarowinds’ brand-new IP House, Jason: Blood Reign is a must-do during Carowinds’ spooky season!

We had the opportunity to enter this maze with the lights ON and sound off during their media event, as well as preview the house at full blast.

Compare a few scenes with the lights on vs. lights off to appreciate just how much lighting, sounds, effects, and scare actors play into the experience you have in a haunted attraction like this!

The Over the Rainbow 🌈 observation deck this year at Land of Oz was wonderful!

Sweet Dorothy walked with us all the way up to the top; poor girl said her feet were just dreadfully tired from walking up and down steps all day looking for Kansas!

But she still took her time and chatted with us for quite a while.

Nikko even came out to visit right before we tackled the steps up 🐵

At the Mullins Bar just across from the Conjuring Experience, you can grab some beverages inspired by the Conjuring Universe!

We grabbed the Annabelle (sour cherry flavors with Tequila) and the Nun’s Habit (a coconut/pineapple tropical rum punch)! They were both really tasty 😋

Make sure to grab one when you visit Carowinds during SCarowinds!

Thanks Adventures That ROCK for snapping the pics of us 😂
