Kings Dominion Begins Fall Events with Halloween Haunt and Great Pumpkin Fest

September 21, 2017 By Nickida

Kings Dominion Begins Fall Events with Halloween Haunt and Great Pumpkin Fest

Last year my family and I visited Kings Dominion for their Great Pumpkin Fest. We were out the park before it got dark since I knew the kids couldn’t handle the Halloween Haunt events. Starting September 23rd, Kings Dominion’s fall festivities are back for 2017 with new haunts and the return of the Great Pumpkin Fest.

Fun for Families

Families can visit the park for daytime Halloween fun with no fear, The Great Pumpkin Fest in Planet Snoopy features surprises around every corner, from a petting zoo to a pumpkin painting patch. The little ones can take part in educational and interactive shows such as Mad Science: Halloween Edition.

The Great Pumpkin Fest has activities for the whole family to enjoy together; as an added benefit, children three to five years of age are eligible for FREE admission when their parent or guardian registers and activates their 2018 Pre-K Pass.  The Great Pumpkin Fest is held select Saturdays and Sundays from September 23 through October 29 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Three New Haunts

Adding to an already macabre lineup of mazes, monsters, and live entertainment, the new Halloween Haunt highlights include a bayou-themed maze and two new roving performances.

  • NEW MAZE: Blood on the Bayou
    The park’s newest maze is themed after a haunted bayou where the swamps once ran red with blood, with whispers of curses and unnamed voodoo priests. Guests will wind their way through a swamp, past a half-sunken ship where the evil that lies in wait hungry for new visitors.
  • NEW SHOW: The Grave Walkers
    Take a stroll with these twisted interactive street performers as they bring the best of the French Quarter to the Commonwealth. Listen for the blare of an approaching trumpet or the blast of a tuba as they take to the streets with a Halloween party like no other.
  • NEW SHOW: The Coven
    In this roaming performance, a troupe of witches is wreaking havoc on the midway with their bizarre rituals. Beware because they are looking for their next victim as they prepare for the coming solstice.

In total, those who dare can brave eight mazes, five scare zones and a variety of live shows during Halloween Haunt, which features the largest scare force in the region with hundreds of monsters roaming the midways. During the nighttime event, guests can also get their adrenaline fix on more than 20 rides, including Intimidator™ 305 and Dominator, as fog and darkness blanket the park.

Test your limits and experience fear beyond your worst nightmares with all-new Skeleton Key rooms. Guests face extra terror as they unlock exclusive chambers and complete sinister tasks in order to escape. Skeleton Key is exclusive to Fright Lane, a premium feature that gives guests front-of-the-line access to mazes and rides. Haunt is held select nights September 23 through October 29; entry tickets plus Fright Lane passes can be purchased online. Monsters descend upon the park at 7 p.m. during the Overlord’s Resurrection as he calls forth all of his minions and sends them out into the night.
