The newest Halloween attraction to hit Orange County is the Ghost Ship that will leave Newport Harbor Friday and Saturday from 6:30 to 11:30 p.m. The haunted cruise is filled with 75 minutes of mayhem from the same company that brings the Haunted Hayride in Los Angeles.
The ship offers three scary levels that guests will have to navigate including a Treatment Facility with examples of barbaric treatments used to cure ailing men such as hydrotherapy, shock treatment and sleep deprivation.
The second level is a rest area with drinks and snacks for sale. And the final level offers an interactive execution experience. Three different voyages to choose from: 6:30 to 7:45 p.m.; 8:15 to 9:30 p.m. and 10 to 11:15 p.m. Cost is $59 per person, cash only.
