Halloween 2026

Plan Your Haunt Night Like You Plan a Park Day

Dates, confirmed details, and how to pick your night for the biggest Halloween events at the parks we cover.

A haunt night has its own rhythm, but it's still a park day. Lines still build, houses still fill up, and the night still gets away from you without a plan. That's the whole reason Ride Ready exists: you make the calls, we make sure you're never guessing. We don't sell Express passes or line-skip tickets. We help you pick the right night, know what's actually confirmed before you buy, and read the crowds before you commit to a date.

Skip watches the waits so you don't have to guess

The app tracks live ride waits at all three of these parks, flags the drops, and rebuilds your plan when the day goes sideways. Get it on the App Store before you pick your night.
