Haunt X at Dorney Park opens this Friday, September 15th! Hard to believe that the summer has gone by and we're already at Haunt season! Yesterday's beautiful weather made for a nice trip to see the park's final preparations for the event. The park looks about 99% ready for things to start in just four days.

Age of Darkness, located on the park's lower midway just past Thunderhawk's entrance, is fully dressed and ready to go. The scare zone includes the "torture chamber" add on area filled with an assortment of props and special effects. Seen above is one of the castle entrance/exits to that section of the attraction.

Up on the Main Midway, the Funzone Arcade is currently closed as the instillation of Chamber of Horrors is underway. Earlier in the year the park tricked some of us fans into thinking that some sort of reincarnated Club Blood was going to arrive here, alas it seems the park was just celebrating some of their biggest and best haunts in honor of the event's 10th anniversary.

The CarnEvil scare zone, located in Hydra's plaza, is also ready to go. I love this corridor that is lined with carnival banners, lights, and plenty of oversized blocks obscuring the view. At night, when filled with fog, it leaves plenty of hiding places for clowns.

Here is one of the many carnival themed graphics that are located along the corridor. Man Eating Chicken is a popular one (yes the chicken is eating a man), but I'm partial to Bee Man - Feel The Sting!

This year's new haunted house, Tourist Trap, has its signage up - like its predecessor Mansion House Hotel guests will enter and queue in the park's original catering area.

The facade of Tourist Trap, which really serves as its exit, has received some additional graphics to build on the announced themed. The World's Fair is mentioned here, along with some other vendors that are located along the street they've set up. This haunt actually opened Sunday night for season pass holders as a preview - I wasn't able to attend but have heard very good things about the quality of what's waiting inside!

Wondering around the park it is hard to miss some new structures that have appeared throughout the property. Here is one that is located near the exit to White Water Landing. I'm going to take a guess that these are Skeleton Key rooms that might be associated with the Haunt located near them. In this case Blood on the Bayou is located just around the corner.

Here is a second one, located just down the path from Tourist Trap, and carrying a similar theme to that attraction's facade.

This gothic crypt looking building is located, obviously, in front of Steel Force. That places it close to both Grave Walkers and Trick Or Treat. The latter was built with space for a Skeleton Key room inside it, so that fact plus the theme makes me thing this matches up with Grave Walkers.

Finally, this little shack is standing across the midway from Center Stage Fries. That places it somewhat close to CornStalkers, and the theme seems to match as well. The park has 5 brand new Skeleton Key rooms this year, 7 in total, so I can't wait to see what takes place inside these buildings.

One last shot of this year's billboard that's located at the park's exit along Hamilton Blvd. See you all this weekend for
Haunt X!
