One of the most popular special attractions at Melbourne's Luna Park in recent years is returning for a limited season these summer holidays.

In the tradition of Prison Break Live and Lara Croft Tomb Raider Live, Circus of Screams is a live interactive, walk-through attraction that promises to give anyone an adrenalin rush.

Frightening fun for the whole family, visitors enter the macabre Big Top of the mysterious Dr Orloff and navigate their way through a disorientating maze of corridors and rooms, filled with tortured souls from another time.

Combining elements of theatre, sideshow and special effects, visitors will discover unexpected surprises around every corner including magician extraordinaire 'Gregor the Majestic' and his assistant Madame Tetrallini, eerie circus animals, the infamous Killer Gorilla, and Phroso the Clown. Luna Park patrons who enjoyed Circus of Screams last summer will experience plenty of new surprises as Dr Orloff cranks up the scare-factor another few notches.

The Circus of Screams experience is created within a 200 square-metre Big Top, featuring high powered strobe lighting, and outstanding audio and visual effects.

Circus of Screams will return to Melbourne's Luna Park for a strictly limited season, starting December 11th. Unlimited entry to the attraction is included with any Unlimited Ride Ticket, providing Luna Park visitors with even greater value for money these summer holidays. Entry can also be obtained with a Single Ride Ticket.

Circus of Screams will be even more fun after dark! During summer, Luna Park will be open until 11.00pm on Friday and Saturday nights. During January, there will also be extended opening hours on Thursdays to 11.00pm and Sundays to 8.00pm.

From 8 December, visitors will also be able to experience a new classic-style attraction. The Amazing Mirror Maze is being created in the spirit of the popular Crystal Tangle Mirror Maze which featured at Luna Park when it first opened in 1912. As the park celebrates its 97th birthday this December, this fun attraction will delight the whole family as patrons get lost amongst the maze of narrow hallways, surprising corners and dead ends. Entry to The Amazing Mirror Maze is also included with any Unlimited Ride Ticket or with a Single Ride Ticket.
