Following the success of the modified PNE Fair Drive-Thru Experiences this past summer, the PNE has announced its Halloween themed plans for the Fall.

Slayland

On October 9, Playland will transform into Slayland – Night of a Thousand Screams. While the attraction won’t feature haunted houses this year due to COVID-19 safety protocols, it will offer twenty rides, including The Beast, the iconic Wooden Roller Coaster, the Atmosfear and a walk-through outdoor haunted experience and chilling décor throughout the park.

Slayland will mark the first time in the PNE Halloween event history that guests will be allowed to wear costumes. There will be themes for costumes each weekend, from retro to superheroes. While costumes are allowed, face paint and costume masks will not be permitted, and COVID-19 masks will continue to be required throughout the park.

Granted there will be no haunted houses, this will also the first time that children under 13 will be allowed, based on parental discretion (Slayland is not recommended for children under the age of eight).
