The crew of Dark Harbor, led by production designer and art director J.J. Wickham have been at the Queen Mary, Long Beach since 2011. In a special and warmest opening night of The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor horror mazes. The scary Mary, were looking for playmates in the new Lullaby maze at Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor annual Halloween event. Legend has it that Mary has haunted the ship since her drowning in the pool room in 1952. Dark Harbor runs from Oct. 1 thru Nov. 1.
Onto the mazes people will enjoy 6 different mazes such: Voodoo Village, Soulmate, B340, Deadrise, Lullaby, and Circus and other shrieking attractions. They are all very creative and long especially for the main mazes that people are able to go to so people are really spread out much. Although Lullaby and Soulmate can be a little too long and take up a lot of time inside but the action is much better. The three mazes on the ship were the best because of the extra ambiance and people feel really haunted. In general all the characters were well organized with good make up, costumes of the characters and talented actors who really can scare you, this means extra fun for the rest of the night.
The Titanic is not sunk with its Bodies

“Titanic-The Experience” is an amazing, poignant exhibit and a must-see for anyone interested in her tragic and short history. There are hundreds of original artifacts on display that were recovered after spending most of the last century in the dark, frigid Atlantic waters 2.5 miles below the ocean surface. The Experience allows visitors to travel back in time and board the historic vessel where authentic artifacts recovered from the wreck site, interactive storytellers in period costume, and replicas of passenger cabins allow you to experience the unforgettable sights, sounds, and emotions of the Titanic.
“Bodies-The Exhibition” also brings guests face to face with the miraculous machine we call the human body, showcasing real, full-body specimens and organs that provide a three-dimensional vision of the human form.
It’ s fascinating and there is absolutely no other time in your life you will see a real body up close enough to see the intricacies of the human body. Especially when it is a gruesome concept to be slicing cadavers open, but I found it to be so interesting. They shown slices of the human form and all different systems- from musculoskeletal to circulatory to nervous system. Of course there are more things that public must see. There also were important spokespersons including, Dr. Roy Glover, Chief Medical Director of Bodies, Mark Lach, Creative Director of Titanic The Experience, and Alex Klingelhofer, Vice President of Collections. You will fun and absorb all the educational and entertainment experiences with this exhibition but even this is not for everybody since though some parts are interesting and real, other things you might see might be disturbing depending on the individual.
The bad news is that tickets are very pricey and not worth a second visit at a full price but there will be some deals if you look through the internet. The ongoing Exhibition is located at The Premier Exhibition Center at the Former Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park CA. and the official opening was on August 1st
