Fright Nights at Playland 2026
Fright Nights is back with a chilling mix of terrifying haunted houses and thrilling rides, ensuring a spine-tingling experience for all. The park will also feature eerie décor, roaming monsters, and live performances throughout the site.
Every night at 6:00pm, performers will emerge from the fog with captivating acts. Alongside the haunted houses, you can enjoy heart-pounding rides like AtmosFear, Hellevator, and the ThunderVolt.
The theatrical Trials of the Night will also be returning to Fright Nights, bringing chilling performances inspired by the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Wander into Judge Matthew Hopkins’ courtroom as fear and superstition consumes the town— will the accused escape the fire? Or will darkness consume Salem?
Trials of the Night take place nightly at 7:30pm, 8:30pm, and 9:30pm on select nights.
