Reapers Revenge is by FAR one of  the finest, most innovative and world-class haunted attractions in the country (and has received critical acclaim to back it up!). Since its inception, it has continually pushed boundaries in terms of production quality, immersion, and the sheer scale of terror it delivers. In 2024, two of the owners—Todd Fedyshyn and Travis Rhoad—are poised to take their already legendary attraction to new heights. With over 15 years in operation, the team behind Reapers Revenge has a clear vision for growth, excellence, and resilience, especially following a season in 2023 that was marred by extensive rain and operational challenges associated with the challenging weather. HOWEVER…it is time to unleash its finest show yet…one that is refined, scarier and has reached a pinnacle of excellence that you will be left awestruck and the glorified horrific immersion that is the Reaper’s Revenge experience.

During a recent conversation with Todd and Travis, they emphasized their renewed commitment to offering the pinnacle haunted attraction experience this year. Having faced the trials of weather-related issues last season, they’ve crafted a plan to not only weatherproof parts of the attraction but to diversify revenue streams and create a more immersive experience for guests, regardless of the elements.

One of the significant challenges of last year was the impact of adverse weather conditions, which affected the opening nights and reduced attendance. With this in mind, Fetish and Rowe have undertaken a concerted effort to weatherproof parts of the attraction. A key part of their strategy is focusing on improving operational aspects to ensure the experience remains consistent, even on nights when weather conditions are less than ideal.

Elevating the Show: The Pinnacle of Haunt Production

The 2024 season will see Reapers Revenge reach a new level of refinement, with every aspect of the show receiving close attention. The owners, and team are incredibly excited about the upcoming season, with Fetish noting how impressive the dress rehearsals have already been. According to Fedyshyn, the team behind Reapers Revenge has treated this season as an opportunity to reinvigorate and enhance every aspect of the show and the attraction(s), adding layers of depth to the show that will make it feel like a brand-new experience, even for returning guests and Reaper’s Revenge never makes a promise it cannot keep.

In this quest for excellence, the team has scrutinized every single element of the show—from set designs and performances to the customer experience as a whole. Each attraction within the park has undergone substantial enhancements. Todd emphasized that the owners and the entire management team are committed to elevating the show, ensuring that the 2024 season offers the most immersive, terrifying, and polished experience to date. This is the premier season, and every resource has been poured into bringing the passion, the energy and the incredible talent to drive what will be a must see destination event!

Lil Grim’s Day Family Fun Hayride: Growing the Brand for the Future

In an effort to expand their customer base and ensure long-term growth, Reapers Revenge has introduced the Lil Grim’s Family Fun Hayride this year. This new addition is a more family-friendly version of the haunted hayride, designed to cater to younger audiences and families. By offering this experience during daylight hours, Reapers Revenge is creating an opportunity for children and younger guests to engage with the brand, potentially turning them into lifelong fans as they grow older.

The introduction of Lil Grim also represents a smart financial move, as it allows Reapers Revenge to diversify its offerings and cater to a broader demographic. The long-term vision is clear: by offering something for all ages, Reapers Revenge can grow its brand and build stronger emotional connections with its audience. As Fetish and Rowe see it, Lil Grim’s is not just about expanding the customer base—it’s about creating a generation of guests who will be emotionally invested in the Reapers Revenge experience for years to come.

Continued Investment and Reinvestment: A Commitment to Quality

One of the core strengths of Reapers Revenge is the owners’ willingness to continually reinvest in the show. Unlike many attractions that make only minor upgrades each season, Reapers Revenge pours significant resources into improving the experience year after year. This dedication to growth and innovation is what has allowed the attraction to stand out in a highly competitive industry.

As Todd and Travis explained, this year’s show is the result of a combination of strategic extensive financial investment and talent that is unmatched in the industry. The team behind Reapers Revenge is not content with simply maintaining the status quo—they are committed to elevating the attraction to new heights, ensuring that every aspect of the show, from the moment guests step onto the grounds to the final scare, is as immersive and thrilling as possible.

A New Haunted House on the Horizon

While 2024 will not see the opening of the much-anticipated new “haunted house”, the owners have promised that resources were instead allocated to improving and PERFECTING the overall show experience this season. The decision to delay the new haunted house reflects the owners’ commitment to ensuring that when it does open, it will meet the same high standards of quality that Reapers Revenge has built its reputation on, without compromise. When ready the “haunted house” will be unleashed!

For now, the focus has been on refining the existing attractions and enhancing the guest experience. And from what we’ve seen and heard, the investment has paid off. Reaper’s Revenge does not make promises it cannot keep… the 2024 season is shaping up to be the best yet, with new scenes, improved actor performances, and state-of-the-art effects that will leave guests breathless.

Building the Reapers Revenge Brand: Partnerships and Expansions

As Reapers Revenge continues to grow, the owners have also focused on expanding the brand through strategic partnerships and special events. One notable collaboration is with Wallenpaupack Brewing Company.

These partnerships, along with the launch of Lil Grim’s, have positioned Reapers Revenge on a track of serious next-level growth mode. As they continue to push the envelope in terms of quality, performance, and immersion, Reapers Revenge is set to become a dominant force not just in Pennsylvania, but in the haunted attraction industry as a whole.

The Pinnacle of Horror Excellence: What to Expect in 2024

With a renewed focus on quality and growth, the 2024 season of Reapers Revenge is shaping up to be a landmark year for the attraction. Every attraction, every scene, and every scare has been fine-tuned to perfection, and the result is a show that will likely be remembered as one of the best in the haunt’s history.

For the owners, this season represents the pinnacle of what they’ve been building toward over the last 15 years. They have always been committed to a never ending quest for excellence, and this year, once again they are positioned to deliver on that promise in ways that will surprise even the most seasoned haunt-goers and Reapers diehards.

Whether you’re visiting for the iconic haunted hayride, the immersive scares of the attraction’s many walk-throughs, or the new family-friendly offerings of Lil Grim’s, Reaper’s Revenge is set to offer an experience like no other. For those seeking top-tier thrills, impeccable showmanship, and a commitment to horror that is second to none, the 2024 season of Reapers Revenge is not to be missed.
