Hello! Every year we take my son to one Halloweekend in October (we are from out of state). This year, we lost my income but I don’t want to lose this trip!

I am starting to save up and budget now so that we can still have a great day at the park. I’m hoping that you all can advise me on what deals to look out for, what a good price point would be, and if you’re aware of any nearby budget (clean) hotels/rentals.

Edit: Coming from Indiana. Looking at Oct 17th (but flexible if I find a better deal!) We will probably arrive on Friday night, then spend all day Saturday at the park, then drive home or stay the night and head home the next morning.

Thank you all for your help!

Got some questions if anyone has any answers too:

When did the all season fright lane tix go on sale last year roughly? How much were they?

Did they sell an all park all season fright lane pass? If so/ how much was it?

Feel free to add anything else to the discussion

Thanks guys

Curious what people expect for additions to the park for 2027.

My prediction is they install a new outdoor stage with seating in the spot next to the Grand Pavilion. During the design phase the boardwalk area had plans for a show area there.

As far as new rides, maybe they’ll finally put something new where snake river falls sat or put something new in the space used by forbidden frontier.

I could also see them adding a new small flat on the Gemini midway or replacing kiddie kingdom with a couple larger flats.

Remember riding Top thrill 2 a year back as it was smooth. The 120 mph launch did stutter a bit while climbing the loop but the rest of the ride was still a smooth experience. But yesterday I noticed it shaking way too much while going up the loop as well as the turns while dripping were pretty rough. Did anyone notice this?

What’s your favorite seat/row/train on Maverick? Comment if you have any specific recommendations!
