Level up your Fall Fest frights with these can't-miss extras

By: Mark Frazee | Content Manager

Just two weekends to go until Phantom Fall Fest '23 is in the books – but at as Halloween draws ever closer, Phantom Fall Fest frights kick into high gear! You probably already know Phantom Fall Fest is home to 6 horrifying haunts, 4 sinister scare zones and approximately 30 of your favorite rides. What you might not know, though, is that we offer a bunch of exciting extras to level up your visit. From an all-you-can-eat buffet to behind the scenes tours, let's guide you through them. Be sure to add them to your visit over these last two weekends!

Slash the Wait with Speedy Pass

The Phantom's ghouls are dying to meet you. And with so much to do, why waste your time standing in line?  During Phantom Fall Fest, we offer two Speedy Pass virtual queue packages to help you get to the frights faster:

• Speedy Pass Chills - if you need one extra, this is it. Speedy Pass chills allows you to skip the line once at each of our six haunted houses: the NEW mALICE in Wonderland Unleashed, Shady Grove, Villa of the Vampire, Dark Shadows, Voodoo Bayou and Kennyville Cemetery
• Speedy Pass Thrills - skip the lines at our most popular thrill rides: the NEW Spinvasion, Phantom's Revenge, Exterminator, Black Widow, Thunderbolt, Sky Rocket, Jack Rabbit, SwingShot and Kangaroo. Available all day! For Speedy Pass Thrills, how long you wait is based on your choice between Standard, Premium and Elite Speedy Pass:
  • Standard - your virtual wait is equal to to the regular wait. For example, if the regular line is 30 minutes, your virtual wait is 30 minutes.
  • Premium - your virtual wait is equal to 50% of the regular wait. If the regular line is 30 minutes, your virtual wait is 15 minutes.
  • Elite - reduce your wait by 90%. If the regular line is 30 minutes, your virtual wait is 3 minutes.

For both, all you need is a smartphone. Browse the list of available haunts or rides, reserve which one you'd like to do next, then show up at the Speedy Pass entrance to that attraction at the listed time. And remember, while you're in a virtual queue for a Speedy Pass attraction, you can do something else - grab a bite to eat, check out a scare zone or hop on a ride with a shorter wait like the Cosmic Chaos or Musik Express. Plus, if you go for both Speedy Pass Thrills and Speedy Pass Chills, you can wait for a haunt and ride concurrently!

Add Speedy Pass Chills for as low as $29.99 or Speedy Pass Thrills for as low as $19.99, depending on the day you visit! Shop Speedy Pass packages
