Why Halloween Haunt at Kings Island why was this picked
Halloween Haunt is the best value if your group wants coasters between scares. Scare zones, live shows and most rides come with park admission, while the haunted mazes, including the new JASON: Blood Reign and Metal Massacre, are a separate add-on or bundle. It runs Thursdays to Sundays through October 31 and the park says it is not recommended for anyone under 13. Buy the maze bundle ahead online, arrive before dusk, and ride the big coasters before the fog machines start.
