Dorney Park Haunt News



The Morning Call had an article about The Haunt at Dorney Park today. There's some good details in there about the new stuff that's coming to the park. There's also some stuff that doesn't make sense, like how Club Blood's entrance will be at White Water Landing's exit and that's a move to help spread out the Halloween attractions and crowds.

Unless it's just me that area of the park was very crowded in past years. Doctor Doom, and the Cedar Freak Cannonball were right there, and the midway toward Thunder Canyon was busy because of trick-or-treat street.

Then again if Cedar Freak Cannonball isn't coming back then that'll free up some midway space I suppose.

Also, the park is going to the South Whitehall planning people tonight for Club Blood's building, here's what is described on their website:

HAUNTED HOUSE BUILDING 2008 DORNEY PARK AND WILDWATER KINGDOM
MAJOR SUBDIVISION 2008-103
REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY/FINAL PLAN APPROVAL

The application by Cedar Fair, L.P. to further develop the property known as “Dorney Park/Wildwater Kingdom”, located at 3830 Dorney Park Road. The plan proposes to remove a portion of a concrete and gravel maintenance area and partial removal of a landscaping berm along the midway and the installation of a one-story, 3,200-square foot “Haunted House”, queuing area and landscaping. The project area would affect approximately 0.9648 acres of the 187-acre property. The subject properties are zoned CR Commercial Recreation.

Sounds just like the pre-fab buildings that went into some of the other Cedar Fair parks late last summer for their new Haunts. Sounds great!
