Heads up

This event features flashing lights and intense scenes. It may not be suitable for people with photosensitivity or certain medical conditions.

For your safety, every guest stays in their vehicle until they've left the tunnel. Tiger Xpress is not liable for any damage or unforeseen events.

What to expect.

Live actors

Actors may lightly touch your arms, shoulders, head or hair. Please don’t get aggressive with them; if you’d rather not be touched, tell them and they’ll stop.

Unlocked doors get opened

That includes inside the tunnel. Lock up if you want a little distance.

It gets loud

Air horns, chainsaws and other noisemakers are part of the show.

You control the scare level

Turn on your hazard lights (4-ways) for the whole visit and the actors will ease off. Our team at the pay station and on the lot can pass along anything else.

After the tunnel

Hop out to vacuum and grab photos at the photobooth set up for your group.

Before you come.

Run through this in the driveway, not in the tunnel.

  • You know how to put your vehicle in neutral
  • You know how to turn off automatic wipers
  • You know how to turn off auto-hold brakes
  • You know where your hazard lights (4-ways) are
  • Firearms stay at home, so every guest and team member stays safe

“What a neat idea to do a haunted carwash. We were scaredy cats and left the doors locked (much to the actors disappointment), but does make for a family friendly haunt where you can control the thrill level. If you’re in the area for other Halloween attractions - definitely recommend stopping by!”
