Phantom Fall Fest
During the day, visitors can experience family-friendly rides, trick-or-treating, bubble parties, screaming contests, and Scary-oke. When night falls, the park unleashes five haunted houses and four walk-through scare zones swarming with monsters and undead characters. Guests can also ride roller coasters in the dark, watch a macabre magic show, and enjoy live music alongside seasonal treats.
