Dorney Park Halloween Haunt 2026 adds Blair Witch: No Signal and The Conductor
Dorney Park Halloween Haunt 2026 features a new Blair Witch maze, The Conductor show, and seven haunted mazes requiring a separate pass. Halloween Haunt returns to Dorney Park on select nights from September 18 through October 31, with Blair Witch: No Signal and The Conductor leading an expanded lineup of nighttime entertainment.
The 2026 Dorney Park Halloween Haunt lineup includes seven haunted mazes, five scare zones, four live entertainment experiences, nighttime ride experiences, seasonal food and beverages, and monsters roaming throughout the park.
Halloween Haunt is similar to Six Flags Fear Fest.
Of course, guests should also know one important detail before arriving: haunted mazes require a separate Haunted Attractions Pass. A regular park admission ticket, season pass, or membership gets guests into the park, but it doesn’t provide access to the haunted mazes. Guests need valid park admission plus the Haunted Attractions Pass to enter the mazes.
Blair Witch: No Signal brings a horror classic to Dorney Park Halloween Haunt
However, for those looking for spooky season fun, Dorney Park offers that too. The biggest addition to Dorney Park Halloween Haunt 2026 is Blair Witch: No Signal, a new haunted maze inspired by “The Blair Witch Project.”
The maze sends guests deep into the Black Hills Forest.
The experience takes place in near-total darkness. As guests move farther into the forest, the environment is designed to make it feel as though the woods themselves are closing in around them.
The original Blair Witch story became famous for creating fear through isolation, uncertainty, and the feeling that something was watching from just beyond the camera. Dorney Park is translating those ideas into a walk-through haunted attraction where guests become part of the story.
Blair Witch: No Signal is appearing exclusively at two Six Flags parks in 2026: Dorney Park in Pennsylvania and Six Flags Great America in Illinois.
Side note—Blair Witch has also inspired a year-round themed experience. Escape Blair Witch opened in Las Vegas in 2021, placing guests in Burkittsville, Maryland, to investigate mysterious disappearances, solve challenges and venture through the Black Hills Forest.
Dorney Park Halloween Haunt: Seven haunted mazes await
Blair Witch: No Signal joins six returning haunted mazes at Dorney Park. The complete 2026 maze lineup includes Black Out, Trick or Treat, Roadside Stop N’ Chop, Necropolis, Blood on the Bayou, Ghost in the Machine, and the new Blair Witch: No Signal.

Each maze offers its own theme and style of horror:
- Black Out takes guests into the remains of a destroyed candy factory.
- Trick or Treat ventures into a creekside house where the residents have sinister plans for anyone who enters.
- Roadside Stop N’ Chop puts a decidedly gruesome spin on roadside hospitality.
- Necropolis brings restless spirits out of their graves.
- Blood on the Bayou transports the scares to a haunted French Quarter setting.
- Ghost in the Machine explores the abandoned McTavish Steel Factory, where the machinery is apparently not as dead as it should be.
The Conductor turns a steel mill into a stage
While Blair Witch: No Signal is the headline haunted maze, The Conductor could be one of the most distinctive additions to Halloween Haunt this year. The new live production takes place inside the McTavish Steel Yard and combines percussion, violin, original staging, and pyrotechnics in a 12-minute performance.
At the center of the story is an otherworldly violinist known as The Conductor, who leads tortured spirits haunting a forgotten steel mill.

For guests who need a break from haunted mazes without completely leaving the Halloween atmosphere, The Conductor should be an obvious stop.
Dorney Park Halloween Haunt extends beyond the mazes
Guests do not have to enter a haunted maze to experience the transformation of Dorney Park after dark. Five scare zones will spread Halloween Haunt throughout the park, including Port of Call, Midway Misfits, Dystopia, CarnEVIL, and Steel Yard Forge Your FeAR. These areas place monsters and themed environments directly along the park’s pathways, meaning guests can encounter Halloween Haunt characters even when they are simply walking between attractions.

The park’s roller coasters and thrill rides also take on a different personality after sunset. Dorney Park says immersive lighting, atmospheric fog and darkness will transform some of its popular rides into nighttime experiences that feel different from riding them during the day.
Four live entertainment experiences round out the evening lineup. In addition to The Conductor, guests can see Skeleton Crew, The Shrieks and Sink the Jerk. The entertainment lineup allows guests to experience Halloween Haunt without spending the entire evening running from one haunted maze to another.
Dorney Park overview
Located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is a premier 200-acre entertainment destination offering two parks included with single admission. Originally established as a summer resort in 1884, it remains one of the country’s historic “trolley parks.”

The park features over 60 rides and attractions, highlighted by eight world-class roller coasters. Thrill-seekers flock to iconic coasters like the massive hypercoaster Steel Force and the dive coaster Iron Menace, which boasts a 95-degree drop. Families enjoy Planet Snoopy for younger guests, while Wildwater Kingdom offers splash-filled relief with 26 water slides, wave pools, and lazy rivers
Do you need a separate Haunted Attractions Pass?
As mentioned earlier, this is probably the most important piece of information for anyone planning a first visit to Halloween Haunt. Yes, guests need a Haunted Attractions Pass to enjoy the haunted mazes.

A valid park admission ticket, season pass or membership is required to enter Dorney Park, but guests also need a Haunted Attractions Pass to experience the haunted mazes. The Haunted Attractions Pass is a separate purchase and is valid for the specific night selected.
Dorney Park currently lists the single-night Haunted Attractions Pass starting at $10, although prices can vary. Park admission is not included with that pass.
Guests who need both admission and maze access can instead look at Halloween Haunt Bundles. Those packages combine park admission with access to the haunted mazes and currently start at $55, with an Express upgrade also available.
A season pass or membership that provides park admission does not automatically include haunted maze access. Guests should check their pass benefits and make sure they have the appropriate Haunted Attractions Pass before heading to the maze entrances. Dorney Park is also offering an All Season Haunted Attractions Pass and a Haunted Attractions Express Pass for guests who want additional access options.

In other words, do not arrive at Halloween Haunt thinking your season pass is your golden ticket to every haunted maze. Your season pass gets you through the front gate. The Haunted Attractions Pass gets you into the nightmares.
