park’s rides and roller coasters with the fun and frights of Halloween.
New this season are two haunted houses, three live shows and the
Overlord, the chieftain of the monsters who prowl the park during
HalloWeekends.

HalloWeekends also offers plenty of entertainment for
young families that includes the Monster Midway Invasion Celebration
parade, the Magical House on Boo Hill, the Hay Bale Maze and Planet
Spooky and Camp Spooky children’s areas.
