One of the new shows, “The Purge: Dangerous Waters,” will be based on the Purge horror films and follow the story of a politician and his entourage who escape to an island to avoid the purge only to find out that their “safe haven” has purgers on it, a news release said.

The show will take place at the WaterWorld venue inside the theme park and feature stunts, spectacular lighting, laser effects and more.

On the other hand, “Blumhouse: Behind the Screams” will take horror fans behind the scenes of horror movie selection at the production company.
