Fans will be at the center of the battle to save the town of Hawkins as they navigate the realms of the Upside Down and the Abyss while evading Demigorgons and other supernatural creatures, including Vecna himself.
Officials also revealed that guests will have the opportunity to encounter their favorite characters while exploring iconic locations, including the Wheeler House, Hawkins National Laboratory, the MAC-Z military base, and more.
