Halloween Haunt

Overview

Dorney Park is ready for Halloween Haunt to return on select nights starting Friday, September 18 through Saturday, October 31, 2026. This year the sinister transformation offers some dynamic changes and promises to turn the theme park into a scream park filled with unforgettable thrills and unspeakable horrors.

Halloween Haunt offers night rides on the all-new Iron Menace roller coaster, seven haunted mazes, each with its own frightening theme in a standalone experience, plus six scare zones, where guests encounter midways that have been completely transformed with ghoulish monsters and rampant scares. Hundreds of terrifying ghouls and ghosts have been released into the park, all ready to turn your nightmares into reality.

Every corner is cursed with haunted scare mazes, scare zones and live (or maybe not live) entertainment. Hordes of hungry zombies and blood-thirsty vampires eagerly await you - i.e. their next meal. And those wicked screams! There’s just no escaping them. Add Dorney Park's world-class thrill rides that instill a brand of fear all their own and you’ve got an extreme, supreme Halloween event and - dare we say it? - FUN. Be prepared. They're going to scare the living daylights out of you, but it’s an AMAZING night and one of the best Halloween activities around.
