Yesterday, Scott and I made another visit to Canada's Wonderland for Halloween Haunt!
This visit was much cooler than our last one nearly three weeks ago on September 27th, with a daytime high of around 9°C and the low reaching near freezing at night! The cooler weather caused quite a few rides and attractions to go down throughout the day, which was quite understandable. Due to the incident that happened at Six Flags Over Georgia earlier in the week, Behemoth and Leviathan were both closed as investigations continue. I wouldn't be surprised if both roller coasters do not reopen until next Spring. We did manage to get on many rides throughout the day, with mazes being our main focus once the sun began to set.
Just like our last visit, we managed to get through all six mazes twice despite the park being very busy as it was a Saturday night! During this visit, I ran into a former coworker from the days that I worked at Halloween Haunt as a maze usher in 2018 and 2019!
Despite the crowds and intermittent ride operations due to the cold weather, we both had a really good time! Be sure to checkout out the photos from my 11th visit of the season below! 🎃🎢
 |
| Our visit started off very cool, but sunny! |
 |
| We were going to make AlpenFury our first ride of the day, but due to the cold weather, it didn't operate until the early afternoon. We took a spin on Vortex before the rest of the park opened at 11am! |
 |
| We then headed over to Medieval Faire for a ride on Drop Tower! |
 |
| We then both took a ride on Viking's Rage. |
 |
| Medieval Faire was very quiet with Leviathan closed! |
 |
| We then took a spin on Wilde Knight Mares. This was our first ride of the season on it! I always prefer riding it in colder weather. |
 |
| Scott and I then rode Spinovator. Dragon Fyre hadn't quite woken up quite yet. |
 |
| But The Bat was operating! It really flies in the cooler weather! I was hoping to get a ride on nearby Shockwave, but it sadly didn't open during our visit. |
 |
| Scott and I then ventured through Planet Snoopy and Kidzville which is hosting the recently renamed Tricks and Treats event for the younger visitors. |
 |
| Scott is rather corny at times, so it was only fitting for him to take a seat on this corn throne in Kidzville! 😜 |
 |
| There was some live entertainment happening during Tricks and Treats. They sounded really good with their Halloween inspired tunes! It's too bad there aren't daytime Halloween performances throughout the park outside of Tricks And Treats! |
 |
| During Tricks and Treats, there is a daytime version of Spirit Manor and Cornstalkers. I always enjoy looking at the finer details as the lights are on. We did the daytime Cornstalkers later on in the day. |
 |
| Trick or Treat Street has friendlier actors during the day. |
 |
| After walking around for a while, we took a spin on Tundra Twister. |
 |
| After a ride on Tundra Twister, we decided to get lunch from the nearby Mess Hall. We both had the Witch's Poutine, which was much tastier and presented better than last year's version. |
 |
| Here's Scott and I after eating the Witch's Poutine and taking a ride on Yukon Striker which didn't have too long of a wait. It was a rather refreshing ride with the cooler temperatures! |
 |
| After Yukon Striker, we moved on to Mighty Canadian Minebuster! It rode amazingly well in the cold weather! I was hoping to get a night ride on it, but the line was very long due to Behemoth and Leviathan being closed. |
 |
| We then took a spin on Sledge Hammer! While still operating at a reduced capacity of 32 passengers, it still provides a good dose of jumping fun! |
 |
| The pathways to Antique Carousel were blocked off. |
 |
| Upon further inspection, most of the horses have been removed. |
 |
| The removed horses have been placed under the former Time Warp station structure. Maybe the park is undertaking a much needed refurbishment as the floor and structure of Antique Carousel was looking kind of grubby and tired. I think it is safe to say that it will not be operating at this year's Winterfest event. Hopefully it looks like new next year! |
 |
| Scott and I were wanting to ride The DareDeviler, but it appears to have recently valleyed, so it was not operating! |
 |
| One the pass perks this month was a free game of Ring Toss. As the line was short, I tried my luck. Sadly I didn't get a ring on a bottle, but as it was fun! |
 |
| Swing of the Century was the only ride open in Grande World Expo, so Scott and I took a ride on it. The leaves on the nearby trees were quite beautiful as they yellowed throughout the Fall season! |
 |
| We then ventured back to Cornstalkers where we were greeted by some very friendly scarecrows! |
 |
| The scary jack o'lanterns were covered by some friendly pumpkins. |
 |
| It always amazes me seeing how big some of the rapids are on White Water Canyon when the ride is drained for the season. The fallen leaves make it quite beautiful in its own way! |
 |
| These skeletons had some pumpkin friends added to their display since our last visit. |
 |
| In the late afternoon, Scott and I picked up our Haunted Attractions Passes from the redemption centre at the front of the park. |
 |
| Another pass perk for this month is half off Kiddie sized Dippin' Dots. I got cookies and cream flavoured Dippin' Dots. |
 |
| After I finished my Dippin' Dots, we noticed that The Bat had reopened after briefly being down, so we imiediately hopped on for a second ride of the day once it reopened! |
 |
| We then noticed Dragon Fyre had awoken, so we headed over for a great ride on this classic coaster! |
 |
| After a thrilling ride on Dragon Fyre, I took my first ride of the season on Riptide. Every few cycles it would fault due to the cold weather. I luckily had a fault free ride. The riders afterwards were too lucky. It then became operational again after I took this photo. |
 |
| With it being Halloween Haunt season, we just had to experience Wonder Mountain's Guardian as Zombies! It is always a fun time shooting Zombies! |
 |
| Before Halloween Haunt began at 6pm, we took another ride on Sledge Hammer. |
 |
| We also took another ride on Drop Tower too, as the line was surprisingly very short! |
 |
| Our first maze of the night was The Crypt. The scare actors always do a great job at sneaking up on you in this maze! |
 |
| We then headed to the front of the park for the Dark Ride. It is always a silly experience! |
 |
| Here's a look at the Halloween Haunt display as the sun began to set! |
 |
| The clowns in CarnEvil were having a great time sneaking up on visitors! |
 |
| The fog was quite thick at times! |
 |
| For our second meal of the day, we ate at Grande World Eatery where they are still serving Nacho Bowls. It is interesting to see them using parmesean cheese instead of shredded cheese. Sadly the mango salsa and black beans were also unavailable, too. It still tasted good though. |
 |
| I love how the fog drifts throughout the park during Halloween Haunt. |
 |
| Up next was our third maze of the night, The Ruins. The line began to become long for this one, but luckily they were still spacing groups out at this time. |
 |
| I've always loved the spider nest under Vortex's drop! |
 |
| Once the sun had set, it was time to check out Spirit Manor and Demon's of the Deep. |
 |
| Trick or Treat Street looked quite spooky during this visit! |
 |
| We then joined the line for CornStalkers. The line was quite long, but moved rather quickly, which was nice to see! |
 |
| After our journey through CornStalkers, we took a nighttime ride on Tundra Twister! Hanging upside down at around 150 feet above the ground at night is insane! You just never know what type of ride your going to have on Tundra Twister! |
 |
| The scare actors at the Streets of the Undead were looking as lively as they could! |
 |
| The fog was blowing over towards Behemoth, which stood quiet. |
 |
| Necropolis was very dark, making it more eerie than usual! |
 |
| We walked through Kingdom of Carnage in Medieval Faire, which in my opinion didn't have much carnage due to the lack of scare actors. |
 |
| I was wanting to try a purple Halloween haunt inspired candy apple from the Sweet Spot, but they only had the regular ones left. Luckily the candy apples were very fresh! |
 |
| With the final hour of Halloween Haunt approaching, we did all the mazes for a second time. |
 |
| The line for The Crypt had spread onto the go kart track. |
 |
| We then headed back over to The Ruins which its line had stretched down to Tiny Tom's Donuts. |
 |
| The signs used during Halloween Haunt have always been quite impressive. |
 |
| After doing The Ruins, we redid Spirit Manor, Demons of the Deep, and CornStalkers. Here's a hazy look at Windseeker. |
 |
| Here's a nighttime view of the giant skeletons! |
 |
| After a great day of Halloween Haunt fun, it was time for Scott and I to head home! Thanks for checking out our great day at Canada's Wonderland! Until next time! 🎃 |
