HAUNT GUIDE 2023: What to Know Before You Go

It’s been a whole year without Halloween HAUNT, and we know you have missed it. Trust us we have missed it too! Halloween HAUNT returns this year, and it’s coming back with a vengeance. 

Here is what’s NEW at Haunt this year: 

Ghost in the Machine

On the heels of its historic 2024 Iron Menace roller coaster announcement, Dorney Park takes the ride to the next level with a carefully crafted haunt maze that mirrors the coaster's back story.

After nearly 100 years of boarded closure, the gates to the McTavish Steel Factory have now opened, allowing exploratory passage through the old, darkened halls of what some deem as an “evil place filled with torment and agony.” 

Will the spirits of this haunted factory hide within the walls, or will they manifest to steal souls from the living in The Ghost in the Machine?

Located: near Cedar Creek Flyers, Possessed

Conjure the Night

Your deepest, darkest fears take center stage with Conjure the Night, Dorney Park’s  all-new, live Halloween spectacle. Immerse yourself in the electric pulse, rockin’ vocals and soul-shattering rhythms of Halloween’s most terrifying elements in a battle of evil vs. evil.

Located: Midway Mainstage behind the Antique Carousel

The Misfits Bar and Midway Misfits (reimagined)

Our Midway Misfits, known for their unique and horrifying takes of some of American classics, return only this time in a new location and as new terrorizing monsters. 

They also usher you toward our new Misfits Bar on the Main Midway, complete with beers and cocktails that could be the key to survival.*

*All patrons 21 and over will need valid ID.

We're also returning many of your favorites in 2023!

Check out our Haunted Maze and Scare Zone rundown:

Blackout returns and the lights remain OFF for this thrilling and frightening dark undead encounter. 

Blood on the Bayou takes you to Louisiana where a powerful passageway to the spiritual realm has been opened. 

CarnEvil is the twisted carnival of your nightmares where clowns never sleep and victims never leave.

Dystopia may look like a bleak industrialized future but it's filled with energy, just maybe not the kind that makes you want to call it home.

The Hollow captures the spirit of Halloween with incredible displays and dazzling decor but it also brings the fright as the mist rolls in corrupting a once peaceful pumpkin patch.

Necropolis awaits full of the undead ready to trap the living inside their disturbed and dangerous burial ground.

Port Of Call where pirates await and the Skeleton Crew soars.

Roadside Stop & Chop takes the fun Pennsylvania farm stands that you love, twisting the experience until you shiver the next time you see a roadside corn maze.

Tourist Trap takes you back to the 1890's where a man's plot to turn a hotel into a "Murder Castle" is well underway.

Trick Or Treat a coven of old sisters bewitch children, luring them in for a treat they'll never forget.
