Former Paramount Parks + Halloween

Cedar Fair is continuing to expand their fall events at the former Paramount Parks. Some details are being posted to the parks' websites, so I figured I'd try to condense their plans into one post.

Scarowinds' Halloween Haunt is being expanded for 2007. The park is building a permanent haunted house structure in one of the turnarounds of the Hurler roller coaster. The park is advertising 6 haunted attractions and almost 300 monsters prowling the park. Daytime plans for kids include the Howl-o-Fest, which is full of fall family activities.

Kings Dominion is also expanding their Halloween event. Now also named Halloween Haunt, the event will feature five haunted houses and four scare zones. Some former Knott's maze names are showing up for the event, such as Blackbeard's Revenge and Club Blood. Add to this some 200 monsters roaming around and you've got a great sounding event!

Kings Island is returning their Fear Fest event for 2007. Oddly, they are not taking on the Halloween Haunt name that the other former Paramount Parks are using.

While details for the event's haunted houses and scare zones have not yet been released, the park promises more monsters than ever before (see a theme here?) and the most intense Halloween event around.

Plus, the park will still hold the Nick-or-Treat event for children and families during the day.


Canada's Wonderland is also hosting Halloween Haunt this fall. They promise all new attractions such as The Asylum and Clowns at Midnight, as well as - you guessed it - lots of monsters all over the park.
