Renowned author F. Paul Wilson praised Terror Peak, stating “Terror Peak pits you against not only murderous creatures lurking in the snows, but a hostile environment so real you’ll come away with frostbite. A triumph of terror.”

from 2023

With Long Island’s famous Memorial Day air show going on at Jones Beach this weekend, we thought it would be a perfect chance to get to know one of our event sponsors- Wildplay Jones Beach.
Featuring a 700 ft. long zipline along the Jones Beach Boardwalk, with breathtaking 360 degree views of Jones Beach, and the Jones Beach theater to the NYC skyline, Wildplay has rope courses for every age and ability level. Once you are secure in your safety harness, make your way from platform to platform by walking across tightropes, climbing up cargo nets, sliding down ziplines, flying through the air on rope swings, leaping onto swinging logs, balancing on wobbly bridges and jumping from 40 ft. heights. There’s even a kid’s course- ideal for kids between the ages of 5 and 12. Build your confidence, challenge your comfort zone, get active and enjoy the fresh air and summer fun at the beach. Bring your friends or family and make a day of it at Wild Play Jones Beach.

Its a NEW REGENERATION!

Let’s hang out and bring back some of those good ol’ I-CON vibes of a bygone era!
We’re about to embark on a new journey, not just a regeneration of the old, but something new; and little different. We’re excited to talk with our friends and fans about it. We even changed our logo from a dragon to a phoenix, symbolic to say the least!
But we’re still I-CON at heart, and this is our re-launch party… so we gotta have some guests (barring any last minute cancellations of course)! Come chat with authors Patrick Thomas and Keith R.A. DeCandido, along with local artist David O. Miller. Of course, costumes are welcome! We’ll also have gaming, food, and raffles, and fun for the kids. We’ll have some other surprises, too… Hope to see you all there! We’ve missed ya!
