ACE Phantom Fright Night
Play All Day, Fright All Night
We welcome you to join us for our annual ACE Phantom Fright Night informal event at Kennywood. With the park open all day for Phantom Fall Fun Fest, this event includes the entire day, though the special activities generally focus on Kennywood's excellent haunts. During the daytime, enjoy the park's festive food and your favorite rides in the autumn atmosphere, or come when the sun goes down to challenge the park's six haunts and four scare zones -- OR spend the entire day and do both! Given that it's an informal event, participants may arrive and depart as their schedules allow and choose which activities to participate in. Please be aware that on the day of our visit, Kennywood does not allow reentry into the park after 6 p.m. If you leave the park for any reason, be sure to return by 6 p.m. and likewise, if there's anything you need for the evening, such as warm apparel, plan accordingly.
Kennywood is family-friendly (not scary) until 6 p.m.

Exclusive Fright
Phantom Fall Fest at Kennywood is very popular, with sizeable crowds and long lines for the evening haunts. ACE Phantom Fright Night attendees will be treated to some exclusive activities related to the haunts! Attendees will enjoy a lights-on tour of the park's brand new haunt, Detached and will be the first guests through it when it opens in dark mode for the day. As sundown approaches, attendees will get first-in-line access to Voodoo Bayou, in the trough of Raging Rapids. To cap it off, each attendee will receive a ticket valid for front-of-the-line access to a haunt of their choice (you must RSVP by the deadline to receive the ticket). NOTE THAT A WRISTBAND IS REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE EXCLUSIVE ACTIVITIES. ACE members and their guests (one guest maximum per member), must meet the regional rep team under the roof of the Old Mill station (near Laffing Sal) between 4:30 and 4:45 p.m. and show their valid membership card to get a wristband and ticket. Wristbands must be worn on the left wrist and be visible during all exclusive event activities.
