Halloween Fun and Scares At Dorney Park! Snoopy and Haunt- Something For Everyone.

Haunt

dpbestday1Looking for a great Halloween trip with fun and fright for the whole family? Look no further than Dorney Park! With brand new experiences at Snoopy’s Halloween Party for the young and young at heart as well as great and terrifying new additions to Halloween Haunt, Dorney Park is the place to be this Halloween! Our family is always on the go and could not wait to check out all things Halloween at Dorney Park. Since my kids vary in age we need a place to go that features both kids’ non-scare activities and down right scary for the older ones! We found both at Dorney Park.

The family fun at Dorney Park begins during the day, when Snoopy’s Halloween Party is in full swing. Located in Wildwater Cove, Snoopy’s Halloween Party is home to classic favorites for kids like Linus’ Pumpkin Patch and the newly-expanded Trick or Treat Street, but also a host of new entertainment and spooky fun! This year’s new additions include Franklin’s Monster Mania– which is home to a collection of activities like a foam play area and a kids-only monster funhouse– and a Character Breakfast Bash every Sunday with your favorite Peanuts characters! The Character Breakfast Bash in particular is an awesome addition to any scare-free trip to Dorney Park, offering the opportunity to share a delicious Halloween breakfast with classic characters like Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, and more! It also comes with early entry to Snoopy’s Halloween Party (granting your little ones extra ride time) and a Souvenir Character Photo with every ticket. It’s the perfect way to celebrate Halloween with your family!

Of course, if you’ve got braver souls in your family (which we do) and happen to want something a bit scarier this Halloween, prepare yourself for a new level of terror with Dorney Park’s Halloween Haunt. Every night, the park transforms into the place of your nightmares, with seven unique mazes and four different scare zones, plus two pulse-pounding shows! If you’re in for the ultimate scare experience, though, the best way to get it is with Dorney Park’s Fright Lane+Skeleton Key package– the Fright Lane pass offers you front-of-the-line access at all seven Haunt mazes (plus exclusive access to a Fright Lane-only maze, Blackout), while the Skeleton Key offers you the opportunity to explore additional rooms in six of the scare mazes. #DPHaunt

But above all else, if you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind VIP Halloween Haunt experience, you’ve GOT to check out the Mansion House Meal. This super exclusive deal gets you admission to the park, Fright Lane & Skeleton Key privileges, and the chance to have a delicious meal INSIDE the Mansion House Hotel haunted maze at Dorney Park ahead of the park’s conversion to Halloween Haunt. The food is a four-course meal featuring a delectable selection of high-end cuisine, the scares are as top-notch as the meal, and you get to be the first people to go through the Mansion House Hotel for the night! It’s an incredible experience you’ll be dying to try again!

It’s a total Barbie World around here! Between the gigantic Barbie house sitting in my living room and all the Barbies spread throughout the house sometimes I wonder how exactly this happened!? So, of course Em and Mommy were thrilled to hear about the NEW Barbie dvd that is on shelves now! Barbie Rock ‘N Royals looks like a movie that is going to take residence in our bluray/dvd player! I won’t lie, I’m pretty happy about the Barbie movies. They are great for little girls! Here’s a little bit about the movie- Get ready to rock! In this upbeat musical, Barbie™ stars as Princess Courtney, a modern princess whose world is turned upside down when she switches places with Erika, a famous rock star. Two very different worlds collide when a mix-up sends Princess Courtney to Camp Pop and Erika to Camp Royalty. While the leaders of the rival camps try to correct the mix-up, both Courtney and Erika learn to adjust to the different worlds and have fun while making new, unexpected friends. When the girls learn both camps are at risk of shutting down, they must embrace their differences, find their true voices, and come together for an epic sing-off that shows anything is possible when you dare to dream big! Buy it here.

Dorney Park Kicks Off Halloween Haunt and Boo! Blast Sept 19th

dorneyparksnoop

 

Although Wildwater Kingdom may be closed for the season and an autumn chill in the air but, Dorney Park has plenty of events lined up this fall to bring families together. Daytime family fun can be found at Boo!Blast, with kid friendly activities such as mask making, pumpkin painting and a petting zoo. As darkness falls, Dorney Park transforms into a horror-filled nightmare for the seventh season of Halloween HAUNT driven by SafeAuto. New for 2014, Dorney Park turns Sunday into FUNday with an Oktoberfest style All You Can Eat Meal complete with beer tasting featuring Sam Adams seasonal favorites.

On September 21 & 28, there is something for everyone at Dorney Park. In addition to Boo!Blast activities in Howl-o-Fest Cove for younger guests from Noon – 5pm, Dorney Park will host an All You Can Eat Buffet from 1:00-5:00pm of Oktoberfest favorites such as Foot Long Frankfurters and Apple Roasted Pork. Of course, an Oktoberfest celebration would not be complete without games and beer tasting! Guests will be able to purchase individual 12 oz samples or a flight of 7 oz samples of Sam Adam’s seasonal brews at the meal, including Jack-O Traveler, Samuel Adam’s Oktoberfest, Angry Orchard Hard Cider, Samuel Adam’s Boston Lager, and Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale. Sam Adam’s Pumpkin Ale will be available in bottles. Meal tickets to Oktoberfest can be purchased with park admission online for $37.99. Meal tickets are $15.99 separately or $10.99 for Season Passholders. All prices are plus tax.

            Guests looking for a more haunted experience this weekend will find plenty of scares during Halloween Haunt. New for 2014, Dorney Park has expanded its Fright Lane program. Guests with a Fright Lane pass can now unlock more scares in six mazes in Skeleton Key rooms that contain more intense and interactive scares requiring a task to be completed in order to be released into the rest of the maze. Also exclusive to Fright Lane guests is access to an all new maze, BLACKOUT, where your fear of the dark is tested. Fright Lane is available online or at the park for as low as $35 per person.

Dorney Park also introduces a new maze this fall, Madame Plarr’s Chamber of Horrors Wax Museum. Guests will enter through a red carpet queue line into the museum, where the exhibits are so life-like guests may even think they are alive! The clowns of the former Psycho Circus maze have been moved to a new outdoor scare zone in CarnEvil, located in Hydra Plaza. This scare zone will also feature a new live entertainment show, Skeleton Crew. This high-energy action show debuts to park guests on Friday, September 26. These experiences are added to guest favorite attractions such as Cornstalkers, a corn maze where the scarecrows are not so friendly, and Mansion House Hotel, complete with a VIP option to dine in the haunted house, will make this year’s event larger and scarier than ever before!

With the kid-sized fun of Boo!Blast, cheers of Oktoberfest and scares of Halloween Haunt in addition to world class coasters and thrills rides, Dorney Park is the premier destination of fall family entertainment. Special for this weekend,guests who live in Lehigh, Berks, Monroe, Carbon, or Northampton counties can purchase tickets for a full day of fun at only $27.00 when they present a valid ID at the ticket window. For additional information, visit www.dorneypark.com for hours, attractions, pricing and much more.
