One of our favorites of the season. You get on a hayride and get driven into the scares. We've enjoyed the different themes per year and hope they keep coming up with some awesome new ideas. 
 
 "Within the foothills of Midnight Falls, the leaves turn brown and the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest. The Witch of the Woods has cast her spell to summon the spirits of the underworld to cross over and assimilate into form. The Hayride leads to a thrilling adventure of horrors afflicting the town. Dazed within the spell cast upon them, the Witch commands her army of crops and flesh to seek revenge on the people that have casted her out. The Spirit of Halloween comes to life surrounding helpless victims brave enough to board The Hayride."
 
Elvira? Yes, the Mistress of the Dark is part of the scares this year again with a specially themed haunt in Elvira’s Trick or Treat Mayhem. 
 
But, there's more than one scare, check out everything happening in the park this year. Including the new haunt Fallen Angel and Zombie Splat where you shoot at zombies !?!

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse will be released on October 15th, 2026. From Evil Empire & Motion Twin, the developers of Dead Cells. Those French developers, of course, gave the game a French theme as it takes place in Paris in 1499. 

Oh, and it looks like you'll be boss battling famous French person Joan of Arc?

"Trevor Belmont, the hero who killed Dracula and wields the sacred whip "Vampire Killer," and his daughter Rose Belmont, begin exploring the city and hunting down the monsters to uncover the source of this calamity. Rose soon finds herself entangled in a dark conspiracy lurking behind it all. Can she save Paris?"
