Each September and October, the Valleyfair amusement park in Shakopee, Minnesota transitioned into Valleyscare. Hundreds of monsters would lurk around the park as Halloween-loving thrillseekers enjoyed all sorts of haunted fun. Organizers bragged that it was the biggest Halloween attraction in the Midwest.

The park dropped a major announcement earlier this year when they said the popular annual Halloween event wouldn't be returning. You can read their full statement and see what they plan to do instead below.

Organizers say the "Land of Tricks" will feature "all things slimy, crawly, goopy, and stinky." Guests will enjoy listening to a Zombie Cover Band, watching a Zombie Clean-Up Crew, and playing games like "Would You Rather"?” The attraction will also feature an improv show, festive foods, and a build-a-bear workshop where you can "create a cuddly monster."
