HalloScream Returns to Kentucky Kingdom this October 2019

 

This October, Kentucky Kingdom will present HalloScream – Kingdom of Fear, produced and directed by Oak Island Creative.

Ed Hart, President and CEO of Kentucky Kingdom, said: "We are very excited about partnering with Oak Island Creative, a company that has developed award-winning themed events for nationally recognized clients. Their events have received many acknowledgments in USA Today, on Fox News, and in other major media outlets. What’s even more exciting is that Oak Island is a local company, headquartered in Louisville. They are dedicated to creating a Halloween event unlike anything Louisville has seen before and they’re certainly the people to do it.”

Hart went on to add, “It’s been a long time since Kentucky Kingdom has been open to the public for a nighttime event. It’s a special experience to see the park lit up at night and especially to enjoy the coasters and other rides at night. Kentucky Kingdom has always been known for its thrills, but HalloScream will take those thrills to an entirely new level.”

A large area of the park will be dedicated solely to HalloScream and its unique attractions. Primary among them are two original and unique haunted houses: “Die Laughing – A Clown Funeral” and “Zombie Wasteland.”

More than 100 performers will participate in HalloScream, which also includes the following attractions:

  • Bizarre Bazaar - A Fear Market: An immersive retail environment of bizarre finds and gruesome gifts. Don’t miss the photo ops at the selfie stations of screams!

  • Frank N. Stein’s LaBARatory: Find a cure for what “ales” you as you enjoy Dr. Frank’s mad science concoctions served in bubbling beakers and test tubes.

  • Mardi gRAVE: A block party of voodoo-inspired despair where a demonic DJ spins sick and twisted tunes and where everyone will dance till they drop … dead!

  • BARely Alive: Come have a drink and hang with the undead of HalloScream.

Kentucky Kingdom will be open for HalloScream every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in October, from 6:00 p.m. till midnight (closing time on Sunday is 11:00 p.m.). Most of the park’s rides, including its signature coasters, will be open. (Because of the time of year, all water attractions will be closed.) In addition, Kentucky Kingdom’s 5D Cinema will feature a 12-minute horror fest, consisting of 13 especially terrifying scenes from the “Friday the 13th” films.

Tickets to HalloScream cost $29.95 and may be purchased online (kentuckykingdom.com/halloscream) or at the theme park. Beginning September 16, they will also be available at area Kroger stores. The $29.95 tickets include admission to the park and its rides, as well as one free admission to each haunted house. The HalloScream attractions are recommended for children age 13 or older.

Julie Johnson, Vice President of Sales and Admissions for Kentucky Kingdom, stated, “We are pleased to offer all 2019 season pass holders free admission to HalloScream. However, they will need to pay a $10 admission charge to each haunted house. For the best value, I suggest purchasing a 2020 Kentucky Kingdom season pass. They’re on sale now for the early bird price of $59.95 and they provide free admission to HalloScream 2019, one free entry to each haunted house, and, of course, the opportunity to enjoy all of Kentucky Kingdom’s rides and attractions all summer long next year.”

  On June 29th, 2024 Kentucky Kingdom hosted participants during their first-ever Floral Frenzy 5K Run during their New Petal Palooza Event in Louisville, KY. This "Color Run" was so much fun! This one-of-a-kind event allowed participants to run throughout the Park as well as even outside the Park while being doused with colorful powders at different locations during he route. Below shows a map of the routes that participants could take. One being only 1.5 Miles (Kid's Fun Run), and the other being 3.1 Miles (Floral Frenzy 5K).  A decent amount of participants showed up to take on this new 5K that Kentucky Kingdom hosted. This was a great event for people of all ages as well. Everyone who participated seemed to really enjoy this special event. Participants were given light refreshments before and after the race, as well as a Floral Frenzy 5K T-Shirt and Completion Medal. We were also led in a stretch session before we took off and while we waited for the race to start the...

Kentucky Kingdom Skyline Changing - T3 Being Dismantled Before 2024 Season Opening

Image
The view for guests driving past Kentucky Kingdom on Interstate 264 will look very different this Season! Why you may ask??? Work has finally begun to dismantle the T3 Suspended Roller Coaster! T3 closed at the end of the 2022 Season and has stood untouched until just recently. As seen in the photos below, a crew started to dismantle the Coaster on April 1st, 2024.  (Photo Credit: @Coaster Chit Chat on Facebook) T3(T2) opened on April 8th, 1995. It is so crazy how close the dates are from being opened to the public to being torn down. T3 will be missed by some and some are just happy to see it go, which will allow the Herschend Group to bring more new and exciting things to the Park in the near future!  Below are some photos from Facebook Users that have bared witness to the Coaster being dismantled and placed in a field near the Park. Speculation is that T3 has been sold to a unknown buyer and this is why the Coaster has not been destroyed.  (Photo Credit: @Jenni Hawkins...
