The RISE is Partnering with Walt Disney Studios
to Bring Your Favorite Characters to Life in Jack O'Lanterns!

For the fourth year in a row, we've partnered up with Walt Disney Studios to bring your favorite characters to life in Jack O'Lanterns!

In past years, we carved your favorite characters from movies like The Good Dinosaur, Inside Out, Finding Dory, Moana, and even Star Wars Rogue One. This year, we're planning on carving up characters from even more films in anticipation of their upcoming releases!

This year, you'll find a number of jack o'lanterns on our trail carved with familiar characters from Cars 3 (Available on Digital October 24th and on Blu-ray™ November 7th), Thor: Ragnarok (in theaters November 3rd) and Star Wars: The Last Jedi (in theaters December 15th).

Multi-Pumpkin Structures

See our iconic multi-pumpkin structures that consist of dozens of illuminated jack o'lanterns assembled into life-sized pieces of art. You'll see classic fan-favorites like life-sized dinosaurs and dragons along with dozens of new characters and displays ready to steal the show.

Legend has it that the ghosts of an old biker gang are sometimes seen rumbling down the garden roads on their Hogs at night spitting flames from their exhausts, so keep an eye out for them. We'll have our new 40-foot 300+ jack o'lantern fire truck on stand-by just in case.

Intricately Painted & Carved 100+ Pounders!

See over FIVE DOZEN intricately carved 100+ pound pumpkins on display! These ephemeral works of art are meticulously hand-painted and hand-carved by dozens of artists who put upwards of 20 hours of work into each pumpkin to make them perfect for your enjoyment!

5,000 Fresh Real Pumpkins Carved Each Week!

The RISE is the only event in the country which carves 5,000 fresh REAL pumpkins EACH WEEKEND! For you jack o'lantern mathletes out there, that's a total of 20,000 jack o'lanterns carved from fresh real pumpkins over the course of 4 weekends! Each one weighs about 20 pounds so that's about 400,000 pounds of pumpkins (200 tons) we'll go through during the month! It takes about 75 people, over a two-day period each week, to carve and place all 5,000 and then remove them all on Monday morning! Yes, we do have a few hundred carveable artificial pumpkins in our display, because some of our carvers prefer them, but those are in addition to the 5,000 jack o'lanterns carved from fresh real pumpkins each week!

3D Sculpted Pumpkins!

We're bringing in one of the top pumpkin sculptors in the country to carve a dozen of the most draw-dropping externally carved pumpkin sculptures you'll ever see! You'll find them along the trail submerged in a super-secret-preservation-solution so they'll be preserved for the entire month of October!

Live Carving Demonstrations
