According to Dorney Park's Facebook page, a new update will be posted soon including photos. We're really looking forward to this update, and we will keep you all updated once the update has been posted on what all happened/is happening!

Meanwhile across the chain, we've heard a couple creepy rumors about this year, specifically at Kings Island in Ohio. Once we can find out a couple more details we'll let you know!

Knott's Berry Farm: Curse of the Spider to be replaced?

Overlooking some discussion on Monsterspace, a popular Haunt website, it looks like not only Pyromaniax is being rumored to leave the farm for the 2010 season, but someone hinted that the Black Widow's Cavern might be rethemed for 2010 as well. No further details were confirmed or rumored, but it could be interesting to see what all Knott's cranks out theme wise this year for their two Haunt-Rides (if this rumor turns out to be true).

What do you all think about Haunted Attractions/Rides? Are they better or worse than regular walk through attractions? Leave us a comment down below and let us know!

Kings Island: Simple Math

Recently, while paroosing the various theme park sites across the web, I encountered Kings Island's new (and rather spiffy I must add) website. On the website, you can find their Park Map and Guide for 2010 which happens to have a Haunt section in it. In this section, it mentions that the Halloween Haunt this year will have "13 Highly-Intense and Thrilling Haunted Attractions".

Now lets take a minute and rewind back to 2009. Last year's Haunt at KI, the park opened up two new Haunted Attractions, one being a replacement for Red Beard's Revenge, the other being the Slaughterhouse which was totally new. With that said, they had 11 haunts total. Now let's use up some brain power & do some insanely simple yet awesome math!

13 - 11 = 2.

How many Haunts will KI receive for 2010? The answer is 2. Simple enough. Looks like Cedar Fair will be cranking out the new Haunts more than ever this year, and boy we can't wait to see the result!
