Get iFLY BOGO Vouchers at HellsGate Haunted House!

The monsters of HellsGate Haunted House took a field trip to an iFLY Skydiving Center in Chicago last week, where they got to experience simulated skydiving (which is a whole lot like flying). After a long weekend of flying over the heads of HellsGate audience members in the haunted house, iFLY was a perfect place to practice and have a good time. Yes, even demons need a little fun and excitement on their day off. They had such a good time flying around, in fact, they want to share that experience with HellsGate’s audience!

HellsGate is giving away “Buy One, Get One Free” vouchers for iFLY when you purchase two Speed Pass Tickets to HellsGate Haunted House. All you have to do is buy your HellsGate Speed Passes and we will give you the iFLY voucher at the HellsGate ticket booth. Haunted Houses and Indoor Sky Diving: Now THAT’S how you celebrate Rocktober!

Also, meet Ashley McCoy (but don't mention his dad...)!
