There are three new attractions opening in Cavendish for the 2017 tourism season. The new Cavendish Beach Adventure Zone will open mid-June with three family-friendly activities, including two brand new attractions.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur team has been working very hard through out the winter to bring these three new attractions to Cavendish,\u201d says Matthew Jelley, President of Maritime Fun Group, the company that owns the property. \u201cIt will further cement Cavendish\u2019s reputation as Atlantic Canada\u2019s family destination.\u201d<\/p>\n
Route 6 Motel \u2013 A Haunting Experience will be PEI\u2019s newest haunted attraction. The space was formerly King Tut\u2019s Tomb, converted into a series of hallways and designed to be a suspense-filled walk through a haunted motel. Although set in a motel, nobody will be spending the night in this new walk-through attraction.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe research that went into the property was pretty fun,\u201d said Adam Hickey, who developed the haunt. \u201cWe visited a lot of haunted houses. Our scares are going to be more about scaring than grossing you out. Also, the attraction can be adapted for younger audiences in the daytime.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Hangar Laser Tag Arena was converted from a 3000-square foot airplane hangar and attached to the back of the building. This attraction is going to be a showcase arena built in conjunction with Art Attack and Delta Strike Laser Tag Equipment. The two companies are international leaders in laser tag design and construction.<\/p>\n
Cavendish Beach Adventure Zone will also include River of Adventure Miniature Golf, an outdoor mini golf course that has previously been in operation. The course has been renovated with all new green and signs.<\/p>\n
Maritime Fun Group purchased the King Tut\u2019s Tomb property in the fall of 2016 and spent the winter renovating the site.<\/p>\n
The site will be open to the public in mid-June with a grand opening planned for Saturday, July 15. The attraction will close for a short time in September and re-open October weekends in advance of Halloween.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
