    Kings Dominion Halloween Haunt 2024

    Sundays at Haunt are always fun from an actor standpoint. The year I worked SCarowinds, most people wouldn't or couldn't work Sundays. Especially early in the run. I'll never forget the night my house had all of two actors from our core cast the rest were pulled from all over the place. We had...

    New Utility Markings Around Hurler

    I know they just retracted (rebuilt?) the entire back turn of Hurler during the off season. So I highly doubt it’s going anywhere. There’s always been whispers of weird power supply in the Thrill Zone area for years. I know for a fact that the haunt maze located in Hurlers infield has some power...

    Kings Dominion Halloween Haunt 2024

    Paranormal Inc. was quite literally torn down at Knotts and shipped piece by piece to Carowinds. They did the same with the Knotts iteration of Tooth Fairy, but it was sent to California’s Great America when they still did Haunt. And it seems last year Dark Ride was sent to Wonderland though if...

    Kings Dominion Halloween Haunt 2024

    Cedar Fair seems to be sending a lot of Knotts retiring mazes throughout the chain. Maybe KD will get Dark Entities in the old Lockdown area. It does fit the theming of FoF. However, I am unsure what the spatial aspect of Lockdown was like and whether or not it could fit Dark Entities.

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg Howl-O-Scream 2024

    While this will surely be an unpopular opinion- I wouldn't mind seeing another take at a Vault-style house again for the 25th. Howl-O-Scream has some fantastic attractions in the history books that weren't featured the first time around. Maybe they could even focus solely on the icon characters...

    News Carowinds Project 2025/Sparrow: Camp Snoopy Expansion & New Coaster

    The land taken up by those respective attractions isn't super large. However, the footprint for our current two family coasters would both fit in that area, so I guess it's possible. On another note, I forgot that the playground and Wilderness Run both separate the land of the train and theater...

    News Carowinds Project 2025/Sparrow: Camp Snoopy Expansion & New Coaster

    The plot thickens……”Pardon Our Dust” symbols have appeared over the locations of the Camp Theater and Snoopy’s Junction. Credit to Cameras on Carowinds on Twitter for the picture.

    News Carowinds Project 2025/Sparrow: Camp Snoopy Expansion & New Coaster

    I don't wanna jump the gun and get too excited about this for several reasons. My biggest question right now is whether or not Cedar Fair would build something of any scale at both KD and Carowinds in the same season. The parks are maybe 5-5.5 hours away from each other tops. I don't know if...

    SCarowinds 2024

    In a very shocking (and early) announcement regarding this years event, it seems as though SCarowinds will no longer be separately ticketed. I am interested to see how this affects the event. Will it be even more crowded than it already is? Will the quality of zones and houses decline? All will...

    Kings Dominion WinterFest 2023

    They cut the parade at KD? Does anyone have a guess as to why? Was it not popular up there? It seems like every parade Carowinds has done has been a success to some degree. Very strange and sad in my opinion.

    News Cedar Fair Merging with Six Flags

    This is the first place my mind went when this was announced lol. Super unimportant in the grand scheme though. However, Six Flags deal with WB allow(s) access to great franchises for haunts like Conjuring, Saw, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and Exorcist. Some major Six Flags parks...

    Rumor Cedar Fair's Class of 2025?

    For whatever its worth. Carowinds has extensive spray paint marking around the boardwalk area and Goldrusher. Could be something. Could be nothing. Only time will tell.

    Event SCarowinds 2023

    Visited this weekend. Scare zones remain fun. They're light on scares and heavy on character interactions, which isn't bad, just interesting. I did see the parade. It’s fun, but it seemed like most people weren't watching it, just trying to get around it to make it to a ride or house before the...

    F.E.A.R.

    I will be honest. I think I can see the vision of what they wanted. Does that make it good? Absolutely not. This felt like KD was attempting some kind of 1984 vibe. At least that’s what I got with the dystopian and phobia combo. I applaud an attempt to add connective tissue to a series of...

    Kings Dominion Halloween Haunt 2023

    I’m sure the stay in the park system will evolve into a Stay and Scream type situation. From what I have heard the First in Fright at SCarowinds has worked remarkably well because they close Aeronautica Landing, scan in SCarowinds tickets by Afterburn and hold you in Aeronautica with rides and...

    Event SCarowinds 2023

    SCarowinds is offering a Stay and Scream type experience. Whoever came up with the name deserves a lot of praise. http://bit.ly/3rlf5CS

    Kings Dominion Halloween Haunt 2023

    For me, even if they just paint the rustic sets to look….less rustic, but weathered, will be an appreciated change up for a maze theme usually filled with old, dilapidated, and rustic barns. On a completely different note, what's everyones opinion of Knotts retired houses begin shipped to other...

    Event SCarowinds 2023

    https://www.carowinds.com/events/scarowinds Everything has been released for SCarowinds 2023. There are no new houses for this season, but there is a new scare zone, Harvest Fear. And in a shocking twist there is not one, but two parades. The Tricks and Treats Parade will run during the day...

    Event  SCarowinds 2023

    I figured I would get this thread started as the SCarowinds website has started to get updated with new information. https://www.carowinds.com/events/scarowinds While specifics aren't released yet the SCarowinds landing page confirms 5 houses, 6 scare zones, and multiple shows, it also...

    Kings Dominion Halloween Haunt 2023

    Is it weird to say both? They definitely had a more cartoonish appearance but with the right lighting they could be used for the event at night. But, like you said that would be an operational nightmare.
