 Saturday, October 12, 202412 noon - 11 p.m. We welcome you to join us for our annual ACE Phantom Fright Night informal event at Kennywood. With the park now open all day for Phantom Fall Fun Fest, this event too has been expanded to include the entire day, though the special activities will generally continue to focus on Kennywood's excellent haunts. During the daytime, enjoy the park's festive food and your favorite rides in the autumn atmosphere, or come when the sun goes down to challenge the park's six haunts and four scare zones -- OR spend the entire day and do both! Given that it's an informal event, participants may arrive and depart as their schedules allow and choose which activities to participate in. Please be aware that on the day of our visit, Kennywood does not allow reentry into the park after 6 p.m. If you leave the park for any reason, be sure to return by 6 p.m. and likewise, if there's anything you need for the evening, such as warm apparel, plan accordingly. Kennywood is family-friendly (not scary) until 6 p.m. As a last minute addition, attendees who can arrive to Kennywood's front gate by 10:55 a.m. will be treated to an hour of morning ERT on The Phantom's Revenge and Turtle as we join our colleagues from Deutschland-based Coasterfriends during their East Coaster Tour III. Phantom Fall Fest at Kennywood is very popular, with sizeable crowds and long lines for the evening haunts. ACE Phantom Fright Night attendees will be treated to some exclusive activities related to the haunts! Attendees will enjoy a daytime tour of Kennyville Cemetery, followed by a lights-on tour and first-in-line access to Villa of the Vampire, the park's longest-running haunt. As sundown approaches, attendees will get first-in-line access to the ever-popular Dark Shadows. To cap it off, each attendee will receive a ticket valid for front-of-the-line access to a haunt of their choice. NOTE THAT A WRISTBAND IS REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE EXCLUSIVE ACTIVITIES.
