2018 Haunts

Villa of the Vampire - Long ago, an old and powerful vampire known only as The Master came to Kennywood. Brick by brick, he built his Villa to house his children of the night. Over the years, The Master has opened up the Villa to many guests. Some joined him, building the vampire pack stronger, while the rest have served to feed this bloodthirsty group. Will you be The Master’s next snack? Location: Penny Arcade

BioFear - Welcome to Biofear, our top-secret government genetics research facility. In a stroke of bad luck, just as you prepare to embark on an exclusive tour, there is a horrible accident. The entire facility has been put on lock down. Is there enough time for you to escape the lab before the rabid mutants and the infected scientists get the best of you? Location: Pavilion 23 (near Steel Curtain)

Mortem Manor - Kennywood’s original haunted attraction returns in 2018 for its 17th season. From the moment you enter the Mortem Family estate and are greeted by Dmitri, the family patriarch, to the moment of your exit, you will encounter all that once lived in this giant mansion. They won’t be happy either and will make every attempt to make you a part of the Mortem family…forever! Location: Parkside Café

Voodoo Bayou - As you set off on your boating excursion through the bayou, you’re just not entering any typical swampland. You’re entering a world filled with swamp creatures and voodoo priestesses who conjure up the dead to prey on the living. Whatever you may fear, those who possess the power of voodoo will be sure those fears are unleashed to find you inside the Voodoo Bayou. Haunt opens at Dusk. Location: Raging Rapids

Dark Shadows - The Shadows are everywhere. Everywhere. As your make your way through the pitch black setting, you will encounter the shadows of the night. The shadows play games with your mind, lurking around every twist and turn. Don’t let these shadows get the best of you. Haunt opens at Dusk. Location: Kiddieland Pavilions

Kennyville Cemetery - Welcome to the most hallowed grounds in Kennywood Park. At Kennyville Cemetery, you'll find the remains of some of the most legendary figures of Kennywood’s past. As you walk through this peaceful park treasure, be aware that during the month of October these figures awake from their slumber to walk again, and they don’t like unwelcome visitors. Haunt opens at Dusk. Location: Dancing Waters/Kandy Kaleidoscope area

Haunted Ark - While Noah befriended the animals during the long journey aboard the Ark, the Phantom's presence has warped his mind. Donning the faces of his former four-legged friends, Noah and his family now ready for their next slaughter and sacrifices: YOU! Location: Noah's Ark

Friday the 13th 4-D Experience - Terror goes to a new dimension in Friday the 13th™ 4-D! JASON VOORHEES™ attacks anyone who enters the grounds of CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE and with every twist and turn, heightened by hair-raising 3-D and startling special effects, this creepy 4-D experience delivers heart-stopping action. VIEW TRAILER

Warning: Friday the 13th™ 4-D contains graphic, violent content and is not recommended for those under the age of 13

Fear Fest - Step right up and enter our Festival of Fear. The finest, most demented clowns in the world will be sure to entertain you as you walk through this fun-filled festival. Our clowns just want to have some fun at your expense. Location: Kangaroo

Gory Park - A modern day zombie apocalypse has taken over this cityscape park. At Gory Park, everyday parkgoers and public works employees have been turned into rabid zombies looking for their next victim. They will welcome you into their domain with only one thing on their minds…eating your brain! Location: Lost Kennywood

Death Valley - Go back in time with a trip to Death Valley. Hop on board the ghost train for your chance to mine for gold, or stop in town and visit some of the original inhabitants.
