- Thread starter wombat96
- Start date
All hours for Halloween Haunt have been added to the Park Hours page of the website.
The park will be open Friday nights from 7pm to 12am, Saturdays from 2pm to 12am, and Sundays from 2pm to 10pm. Other than the 2pm openings, these hours mostly reflect normal Haunt hours, which is spectacular news!

I never thought I’d see the day. KD is hiring monsters for $20 an hour this season!
For comparison purposes, BGW is hiring monsters for $15 with a $500 signing bonus.

What's New in 2022!
In case you missed it, the park introduced guests to all new adventures coming in 2022 including a new area taking over the park, a brand new roller coaster and new scary and merry attractions guests can experience in fall and winter of 2021.
Rumor has it that Grimm Woods is headed for the Dinos area. Get hyped!
I can't believe it's taken them this long to utilize a space that's just BEGGING to be a Haunt location.
Well hadnt planned Haunt in this season but with pass prices so cheap for the rest of the year and all of 2022 looks like its now on the list. Will be interesting to see where I spend more time....Haunt or BGW HOS.....
KD released the open attractions for Haunt on their website: https://www.kingsdominion.com/events/haunt/attractions
5 Mazes, 4 Scare Zones, 5 Shows. Looks like all of the coasters except Grizzly will be running. Flight of fear is showing that it will operate since there's no maze open this year in its queue.

They've kept at least 7 mazes open for years now. The two that are not open from 2019 are lockdown (and the yard scare zone which is also not running this year), and blackout. Both of those mazes aren't exactly that great anyways, so its not the absolute biggest loss in the lineup IMO.
So glad blackout seems to be gone. I was so absolutly uncomftorable in there, and i heard alot of people would grab butts ect because its dark. People would be pushing through in the dark cutting in the line going through it. It was just a awful expierence. I wonder how the world the actors worked in that
It also has terrible capacity and ridiculous lines. If they anticipate staffing might be an issue, I can see why they might skip it this year.
The dinos area will likely act as a replacement for using Blue Ridge Tollway... Maybe for things other than Haunt too...

I love when you subtly mention things.
First Look at Fall Decor
The fall season is almost here so we wanted to give you a sneak peek at the fall decor you'll be able to see around the park during Halloween Haunt and The Great Pumpkin Fest.
Kings Dominion has released a sneak peek of the fall decor that will be all over the park this season. But most importantly, there’s a couple pictures from the new Grimm Woods maze! The first picture looks like the inside of a witch’s cottage, and the second photo might be a gate or a cage of some sort.
The article says that there will be three fairy tale stories throughout Grimm Woods. We know for a fact that Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood are featured, but any guesses on what the third story could be? I think that Snow White or Rumpelstiltskin would be good fits for this maze.
Also, KD mentioned that Cleaver Brother's carnival scare zone is getting at least one new set for the area. Not sure if this is a part of a complete refresh of CBC or adding on to what they already have.First Look at Fall Decor

At least in the areas of the park that are opening during Bonus Days, there isn't much of any Haunt progress to be seen around the park.
(Not a criticism of course, Haunt starts later than Howl-O-Scream and KD normally sets up their Halloween event a lot faster than BGW—just wanted to give everyone an update.)
