Most of Kings Island’s major thrill rides will be open during the event, including the Beast, Son of Beast, Drop Tower, Invertigo, Flight of Fear, Delirium, the Racer, Vortex, Flight Deck and Firehawk.

 

Club Blood

ACTION ZONE

 

This popular night club has never been so bloody good! The club’s exotic dancers are dying to meet you. Come in for a bite. Stay as long as you like. In fact, you can stay forever!

 

Death Row

CONEY MAUL

 

So, you think the Death penalty is bad? Step inside this sanitarium of slaughter and see what torture is all about! The inmates in this evil prison can’t wait for you to join them on Death Row.

 

Red Beard's Revenge

RIVERTOWN

 

A sense of dark confinement abounds as you tour below the decks of a cursed ship. Evil pirates are ready to challenge even the bravest souls to a duel. Can you get past these swashbucklers and make it out alive? Know this as you try: Dead men tell no tales!

 

Massacre Manor

CONEY MAUL

 

The Manor is for sale and the price has just been reduced! Never mind the rumors of murder and torture – it’s priced to sell. Potential buyers descend into fear as they make their way down creepy corridors, entering one terrifying room after another. Along the way you will encounter many of the Manor’s inhabitants – most of them long since departed.

 

CarnEVIL

INTERNATIONAL STREET

 

Join the circus like you wanted to when you were a kid … permanently! Despite the presence of elephants, giraffes and other circus animals, this is not your run-of-the-mill Big Top. Only the most determined will make it out alive.

 

Trail of Terror

CONEY MAUL

 

Come with plenty of friends to hold on tight if you dare to venture down this darkened path of mindbending terror deep into Kings Island’s woods. Hideous creatures are lurking in the shadows and zombies in advanced stages of decay emerge from bushes and wander mindlessly along the trail in search of new life.

 

Tombstone Terror-TORY

RIVERTOWN TRAIN RIDE

 

Covered bridges and foggy terrain disguise the evil that lurks in every direction as you travel aboard a midnight train. But don’t be alarmed. We guarantee you’ll make it to your final destination!

 

.....:Scare Zones.......

 

Cornstalkers

Beware as you wind your way through this frightful cornfield! Countless scarecrows rule the overgrown ruins of the formerly vibrant Rivertown. Built by farmhands to ward off any would-be trespassers, these guardians of rubble take their jobs very seriously. Legend has it intruders make these evil scarecrows come to life!

 

The Worksite

Vacant for years, this worksite has remained untouched and forgotten since the day when something went disastrously wrong. We dare you to enter this undiscovered path of wreckage. Don’t be surprised if you never find your way out. Fear not; someone ... or something is sure to find you.

 

The Cemetery

You don’t believe in ghost stories? You’re in one when you visit the Cemetery! Experience the darkness, terror and madness as you attempt to make your way around oversized tombstones, monuments and crypts.

 

 

.....:Rides:.....

Firehawk

Thrill flyers experience heart-pounding excitement as Firehawk soars through more than ½ a mile of steel tracking. Willing adventure seekers lie down to experience this 51 mph., top-secret, all-altitude airborne mission. But they’re certainly not relaxing – within seconds, each pilot is facing the ground, experiencing the inconceivable feeling of human flight.

 

The Beast

Still the World's Longest Wooden Roller Coaster for over 25 years. The legendary Beast still seizes its prey in its terrifying grip, roaring through the wilderness on 7,400 feet of track at speeds of over 60 mph through dark tunnels and its signature twin helix! Consistently named the best wooden roller coaster in the world by enthusiasts everywhere, don't miss your chance to feel the grip of The Beast!

 

Son of Beast

The Son of Beast is a world-record breaking roller coaster that elevates the classic wood coaster experience to a new level, taking riders up higher than ever and racing them around wooden track faster than ever before.

 

Drop Tower

Feel your heart drop when you plunge 26 stories from a height of 315 feet straight down at speeds of over 61 mph on the tallest Gyro Drop in the World!

 

Invertigo

Sit back and witness the terror flash in the eyes of your fellow riders as you experience the only face-to-face inverted roller coaster in the Midwest! Scream your face off as you are lifted up a 138 foot hill and then released to soar through a 72 foot tall loop and two inversions at speeds of over 55 mph!

 

Flight of Fear

The Flight of Fear takes riders on a heart-pounding adventure throughout a one-acre enclosed structure in total darkness. The Flight of Fear is the world’s first linear induction motor (LIM) launch system roller coaster that catapults riders from 0 to 54 miles per hour in just four seconds sending guests through four inversions and is considered one of the most innovative theme-based attractions ever constructed.

 

Delirium

Imagine being caught in the heart of a storm, hurtling through the air out of control. One moment you are suspended upside down, next you are rushing face-first toward the ground then nearly upside down again all in seconds. Experience the power of a storm...Delirium!

 

Racer

The classic woodie with two separate ride experiences. Take a thrilling ride forward or backwards on the original racing coaster at the park. With a top speed of 61 mph and 3,415 feet of track on each side, this legendary coaster provides great air and even greater thrills.

 

Vortex

Get ready for the twisted world view of the Vortex! Scream through terrifying inversions at speeds over 55 mph through 3,800 feet of the most twisted track ever built! The world’s first six-inversion coaster is still one of the most intense rides around.

 

Flight Deck

Take flight and soar over the tree tops. This seventh generation steel suspended coaster wings over 2,352 feet of track at speeds in excess of 51 mph!

Parents, be advised: Halloween Haunt includes graphic scenes, suggestive themes and intense imagery and is intended for mature audiences; not recommended for children. No one and nothing is off limits!

 

 

In just a matter of weeks darkness will fall over Kings Island and the creatures of the night will make their return for the biggest Halloween Haunt ever! Now loaded with 13 terrifying haunted attractions, no other haunted attraction in the Midwest can match the amount of blood, guts and gore brought to you by Kings Island!

 

The new attraction that will have everyone screaming is the new 3,666sq ft haunted maze called Urgent Scare. Guests will be transformed into 'patients' at this hospital-gone-mad as they traverse through rooms full of doctors and nurses who have been infected with a virus that is spreading through your small town causing a deadly plague. Urgent Scare will be located in the right side of the FX Theater. The theater was converted through Kings Island's mastery of innovation from a 3D motion theater to a walk through haunted maze.

 

In addition to the return of the wildly popular Dead Awakening, Kings Island will be adding a new show in the Festhaus called Ghouls Gone Wild! This monster dinner party has YOU on the menu! You can stay as long as you'd like... in fact, you can stay FOREVER!

 

Returning attractions include CarnEvil, Cemetery, Club Blood, Cornstalkers, Death Row, Massacre Manor, Red Beard’s Revenge, Trail of Terror, Tombstone Terror-Tory and Worksite. Beware of Roamers and Creepers…they’re everywhere!

 

Gates to the underworld for Halloween Haunt will be open from 7:00pm to 1:00am every Friday and Saturday night September 26 through November 1. Click here to read the full press release about Halloween Haunt at Kings Island!

 

The weather may be warm outside but don't be fooled -- the undead aren't far from taking over Kings Island! As Halloween Haunt approaches, Kings Island's head hunters are looking for Zombies, Werewolves, Vampires, Undead Cowboys, Mummies, Demented Clowns, Pirates, Malpracticing Doctors, Ghouls Gone Wild and Sideshow Performers as well as many other positions at Kings Island.

If you guys thought last year was the best or was the most intense, think AGAIN! After two days of dress rehearsals, I think it's fair (and fine) to say this year is going to be the most intense. Places have changed, big time. If you have the mindset of "Oh, that sucked last year....I'm not going through that if it's a 20 minute wait..." No, the mazes are *all* completely worth it with memorable parts in each. I can not wait for Friday, once in costume...I'm a whole different person

 

For those going through the Cemetery....look for the dead guy in the suit with the 2x4 haha.

 

 

You can run, you can hide...but when the Cemetery comes through....you're going to DIE!!!!!! Muahhahahahahhaha

I wish I could go out and experience Quarantine. I'm as excited for this movie as I was for Cloverfield! It's going to be really good.

 

I recognized that one of my friend's suit resembled one of the Stranger's outfit...and was considering getting him one of those bags to go over his head. But in the Cemetery...that might be kind of random. I'm thinking about it...

Well, I officially love Halloween Haunts. KD's is awesome!!

 

I went for the second time tonight, but they were packed so I only went through Blackbeard's Revenge and Big Top Terror.

 

2 weeks ago I went through Maze of Madness, Toxic Plague, and Club Blood.

 

My ranking for KD's mazes I've done:

1. Toxic Plague

2. Blackbeard's Revenge

3. Maze of Madness

4. Club Blood

5. Big Top Terror

 

I HOPE to return for a third time next weekend to hit off Blood Shed, Blue Ridge Bloodbath, and Alien Outpost, and do some re-runs.
