This October, enter the gates of the Night Safari for a night of terror and spine-tingling fun. This time round, it is the spooky tales of Asia that will haunt you from the darkest nooks of the forest. From the Train of Terror and the Haunted Village to Gruesome Treats, come experience a fright night like no other this Halloween at the world’s first true Night Safari.
Get ready for the horror fiesta by venturing into the unknown
with the ever-popular Train of Terror, which will take you deep into the Night Safari. You will witness the transformation of the world’s first wildlife park for nocturnal animals from a beautiful rainforest by day into a ‘Haunted Rainforest’ by night. You should then take a walk through the unworldly Trail for the Undead and discover the horrors that are inside a new spooky cave. While visiting, say “Hi” to the creepy crawlies that inhabit it!
Next, take a step into the Haunted Village where a century ago, a majestic Cheng Mansion once stood and whose inhabitants were brutally massacred by a serial killer. Some claim to have seen visions of this mansion in the dead of the night and hear wailing cries for help.
Another encounter that will leave you breathless is the Memories of the Departed Haunted Photo Wall. It is said that photographs trap a person’s soul, and strange apparitions that appear in pictures are said to be lost souls longing to escape this world. The only way for them to get eternal rest is to find another soul to take their place in the photograph.
Keeping with the ghoulish theme, the Night Safari will also be whetting your appetite with a special Halloween spooky dinner set at the Ulu Ulu Safari Terrace. You can start off with a tangy, savoury bloody soup before helping yourself to a hearty portion of Monster’s Hand Shepherd’s Pie. A glass of Goblin’s Blood Mocktail will also help soothe parched throats. Everyone should then end the night with a sinful platter of “Death By Chocolate” Brownie, Ghoulish Chocs and a choice of The Devil’s Brew Coffee or Tea.
All this and more await you – every Friday and Saturday (including Sunday, 31 October), for one full month – at the Night Safari this Halloween from 1-31 October 2010.
