After a seven-year silence, The Bernal Scream exploded back onto the scene in 2023 with Lucifer’s Wrath. That year, it roared through San Jose and became their biggest success to date. That same year, the attraction welcomed Christian Gaspar as Operations Manager, joining forces with his brother Mike Barrera to honor their late father Abel Barrera’s vision.
