Dorney Park Halloween Haunt returns on select nights from September 18 through October 31, 2026, in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The big new addition this year is Blair Witch: No Signal, a licensed maze, and it leads a full-scale event: seven haunted mazes, five scare zones, and four live shows. One planning note up front: the haunted mazes are not included with park admission and need a separate Haunted Attractions Pass.

The mazes
Blair Witch: No Signal is new for 2026 and, per Six Flags, appears at only two parks this year, Dorney Park and Six Flags Great America. The maze walks guests into the legend of The Blair Witch Project and the Black Hills Forest, past winding trails, eerie ritual sites, and the infamous Rustin Parr House as the forest seems to close in. HAN has more in our Blair Witch: No Signal coverage.
The six returning mazes are Black Out (a charred candy factory whose souls follow trespassers), Trick or Treat (a witches’ creekside house), Roadside Stop N’ Chop (a roadside stand where the fruit’s flesh is soft), Necropolis (spirits risen from their slumbers), Blood on the Bayou (set in the park’s French Quarter), and Ghost in the Machine (inside the abandoned McTavish Steel Factory). Maze access requires a Haunted Attractions Pass.
Scare zones
Five open-air scare zones run through the park, and unlike the mazes they need no separate pass: Port of Call (ill-intentioned seafarers), Midway Misfits (unruly ghosts on the midways), Dystopia (an apocalypse), CarnEVIL (a carnival of tricks and treats), and Steel Yard: Forge Your Fear (the haunted Steel Yard and its Iron Menace spirits).
Shows and entertainment
The show worth planning around is The Conductor, staged inside the McTavish Steel Yard. It is billed as an otherworldly percussion and violin performance in which the spirits of the dead bring the haunted mill to life with energetic rhythms, a live-music spectacle built around the park’s steel-mill setting. The rest of the lineup includes Skeleton Crew (a stunt show of falls and acrobatics), The Shrieks (a Halloween party band), and Sink the Jerk (a dunk-tank roast).
Dates and tickets
