The witches from Path of Shadows at Hersheypark have left their grounds. They seem to be scouting new land for the coven.

Halloween Haunt at Dorney Park opened this past weekend for the 2026 season and we were there to experience all six haunted mazes, five scare zones, four live shows, night rides on coasters, seasonal food & beverage, and more! New for 2026, Dorney Park has introduced Blair Witch: No Signal haunted house where guests venture deep into the mysteries of the Black Hills Forest. In near-total darkness, you'll navigate environments inspired by the world of the franchise, including winding trails, abandoned camps, eerie ritual sites, and the infamous Rustin Parr House as the forest itself seems to close in. The maze brings one of horror's most enduring legends to life through immersive environments, haunting encounters, and relentless supernatural terror.

Also new for Halloween Haunt 2026 is The Conductor, a powerful live entertainment spectacular inside the McTavish Steel Yard. This 12-minute drumming and violin production tells the story of tortured spirits haunting a forgotten steel mill, led by an otherworldly violinist known only as The Conductor. Through thunderous percussion, original staging, pyrotechnics, and performances inspired by some of the most recognizable songs of the last five decades, the show brings the haunted mill roaring back to life every night. Experience Halloween Haunt at Dorney Park select nights now through October 31, 2026.

Stay tuned for coverage of Tricks and Treats, their family-friendly daytime celebration.

NEW COASTER ANNOUNCEMENT: Six Flags Magic Mountain, the Thrill Capital of the World and one of Southern California’s premier theme parks, today announced that Thrill Glider, a first-of-its-kind roller coaster, will debut in 2027. Created exclusively for Magic Mountain, the attraction combines flying, motorbike and suspended coaster technologies to establish an entirely new roller coaster category: the Thrillglider. It will combine the freedom of flight with the intensity of a multi-launch thrill coaster, delivering an experience unlike anything guests have ever ridden.

Developed by world-renowned coaster manufacturer Vekoma for Six Flags Magic Mountain, Thrill Glider riders will board hovercycles — flying-bike vehicles — and assume a prone, face-forward position suspended beneath the track. The custom-designed, terrain-following layout encompasses 20 unique track elements and packs an action-filled 80 seconds into a dynamic aerial adventure. Guests will launch multiple times to speeds reaching 50 mph, encounter 12 airtime moments, soar through five unique inversions (wing-over, zero-g roll, overbanked stall turn, barrel roll and upward barrel roll) and race through a dramatic station fly-by as they traverse nearly 3.5 acres. Enhanced by synchronized onboard audio and immersive lighting effects, every moment is designed to amplify the sensation of speed, flight and freedom.

Thrill Glider will immerse visitors in the world of QuantumPulse Propulsion Systems, a visionary technology company led by inventor and entrepreneur Rebecca Silva. The journey begins long before takeoff in “The Futurist Pavilion,” a sleek showcase facility filled with dynamic displays, holographic presentations and scientific exhibits detailing the company’s discovery of PSR B417, a powerful new energy source with the potential to transform tomorrow. As riders make their way through the queue, they catch glimpses of towering hexagonal collectors embedded into the hillside, harvesting energy from distant pulsars in space.

The ride is already under construction and is scheduled to open in 2027.
