Feast was one of five mazes last year<\/a>, but was revamped for this one-night event, according to organizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe look forward to bringing the scares and taking the intensity up a notch with the blackout version of Feast!\u201d Thirteenth Floor\u2019s Director of Special Projects, Brett Bertolino, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Friday the 13th event aboard the historic ship is the first time fans can experience Dark Harbor outside of the Halloween season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
