For most, the holiday season brings an end to the spooky season…but for Laurel's House of Horror, there’s always a little bit of scary to go hand-in-hand with the merry. This home-grown haunt rang in the holiday season with a traditionally chilling twist, pulling together a spectacular holiday experience with its 2024 “Christmas Nightmare” event…so of course, we had to bring back Tim’s holiday character, Twinkle Coldstone, to mark the occasion!
One of our favorite places to celebrate the holiday season is Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and we were thrilled to make our return to this award-winning park for Christmas Town 2024. The park boasts over 10 million twinkling lights on display, nearly a dozen live performances, character meets including the jolly ol’ elf himself, all in addition to world-class rides, coasters and experiences!
If you're looking for a unique holiday experience that combines festive cheer with spine-chilling thrills, Field of Screams in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has you covered! 2024’s event introduced the Haunted Slayride which literally shook up the usual lineup of haunted attractions, adding it to indoor attractions like the Den of Darkness and Frightmare Asylum. Creepy Christmas includes all the traditional spooky elements that Field of Screams is known for, but with a holiday twist!
Season’s Greetings from the Sweetest Place on Earth! We’ve taken to formally kicking off our holiday season with a late November visit to Hersheypark for their annual Christmas Candylane event, and we were excited to continue that tradition this year. Normally, we plan a “snack crawl” that takes us all over the park for both sweet and savory seasonal treats. This year, however, the savory offerings seemed to be more limited…so we instead built an itinerary around the events, the characters and the experiences offered throughout the park.
When we were planning our itinerary for our summer trip to Orlando, Disney’s Hollywood Studios was not on our radar. Although Disney’s Hollywood Studios isn’t our favorite of the four Walt Disney World parks, it does have some of our favorite attractions - including MuppetVision 3D, Tower of Terror, Rise of the Resistance and more…so we were excited to be able to spend an impromptu day at the park!
If you’re a fan of the spooky, the scary or the darkest side of dark chocolate…look no further for your Halloween fix than Hersheypark Dark Nights! This park-hosted scare event delivers a thrilling, immersive experience that has only grown in scale and intensity since its debut. With five haunted houses, including the highly anticipated Estate of Evil, three scare zones and a wide array of seasonal snacks and merchandise, Dark Nights continued to expand and impress in 2024!
Long before we became the tried-and-true haunt enthusiasts that we are today, we had heard more than once about the legendary haunt experience at Pennhurst Asylum in Spring City, PA. After finally visiting this property for the first time this past October, we’re giving you a complete rundown of everything that you need to know to prepare for a future visit of your own!
For nearly three decades, banners saying ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ have been raised at not one but two different theme parks in North America - one in Orlando, FL, and the other in Hollywood, CA. So, which campus puts on the best version of Halloween Horror Nights? To make that determination, let’s take a look at the seven deadly things that make HHN the event that it is on both coasts.
A now-iconic haunt occupying the ruins of the historic Twin Cinema in Laurel, MD, the House of Horror boasts a seasonal staff of more than sixty, and the team has worked around the clock to build, paint, polish and stain each prop, set and dressing to bring a decade of fear to the Baltimore/Washington metro area!
Field of Screams has really upped their game for 2024, with major construction at the main entrance including an all-new ticket office, updates and new scenes for the four iconic attractions, a VIP and private party venue and a permanent home for the popular ‘Chainsaw Bar’ and so much more!
A trip to central Florida is not complete without a visit to our favorite Walt Disney World park, Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This visit, we decided to splurge on one of our bucket list DAK experiences…the Wild Africa Trek! This add-on, extra magical VIP experience is a 3-hour behind-the-scenes tour that includes lunch, complimentary experience photos and so much more!
We are doing a massive spooky giveaway featuring almost $300’s worth of spooky merchandise from some of our favorite haunts, haunted attractions and spooky small shops! Let’s dive into rules, terms of entry, draw date and - of course - the magnificent grand prize pack!
Each year brings new treats, sweets and savory food items to Hersheypark, and it’s become a tradition of ours to take a little stroll through our home park and pick up some of the new and interesting culinary creations to see what we think. This year, we also upgraded to the brand new Giant Size passholder tier, so we had a one-time fast track to use on any eligible ride as well as the new Giant Size lounge to check out!
20 minutes North of Philadelphia’s city center lies an entire world of strange and beautiful creatures and contraptions awaits the curious and the curiouser. Join us at Otherworld Philadelphia, an immersive art installation promising 40,000 square feet of more than 500,000 LED’s and 130 projectors across 55 rooms!
We recently made our glorious return to Water Country USA in Williamsburg, VA to see what was new and improved for the 2024 season! Naturally, we had to invest in Quick Queue so that we could make the most of our day. Join us for a wet and wild day as we take on Aquazoid Amped, Nitro Racer: Supercharged, Colossal Curl and so much more!
It’s become an annual tradition of ours to make our way to Busch Gardens Williamsburg at least once every summer towards the end of Food & Wine season to check out all the delectable dishes that the event offers! In our opinion, this is one of the best festivals at the park, because the variety of food and entertainment offerings increases exponentially! So, what’s new for 2024?
This year, we made our glorious return to Dorney Park, home of the new-for-2024 B&M dive coaster Iron Menace! The park’s latest addition is its first new coaster in almost twenty years, and stands at 160 feet with a 95-degree drop all but consuming the skyline. Naturally, a coaster of this make, scale and reputation drew coaster enthusiasts from all over the country, and we were proud to be among them!
When we made the decision to attend FanExpo Philadelphia, there were a number of headlining celebrities that we were excited to meet, and - consequently - we decided to budget for VIP weekend admission. At a staggering $449 per person, we made it our mission to determine whether or not the VIP Experience was worth the price!
Who wants to wait all the way til September for their first taste of Halloween? On May 11th, we returned to our old stomping grounds at Laurel’s House of Horror for their 2024 Halfway to Halloween event, a mid-summer preview of what their fall season may entail. Needless to say, the crew at Laurel’s has outdone themselves on these latest updates to the haunted maze!
Lincoln Mill Haunted House may well have created the very first haunt experience inspired by Star Wars, and we went out on a dark and stormy Philadelphia evening to experience the dark side of the force for their ‘May the Fourth Corrupt You’ event! Will we be corrupted by the Sith and their Dark Masters, or will we escape the chain sabers and save the galaxy?
