Little visitors can look forward to the ‘Spooky Kids Village’ in the redesigned


French themed area, and can be styled and face-painted like ghosts. In Holland, the ‘Koffiekopjes’ are transformed into ‘Griezelkopjes’ with fog, lightning and spooky music. Live entertainment for Halloween includes ice show ‘Celtic Shadows’ in the Greek themed area, and new show ‘The Ghost Fair’ on the Italian open-air stage, in which children and adults are invited to search for the pumpkin gnome in Grimm's fairy tale forest. A daily Halloween Parade takes place at 5.30pm, filling the streets and squares with sinister figures. ‘Horror Nights - Traumatica’ is the main event. Europa Park’s multi-award- winning horror event features live performers, with story-telling and world- building creating a post-apocalyptic world populated by horrible creatures. Five rival groups fight for power, and everyone has to make their choice and live with the decision or die… The Fallen, The Pack, Ghouls, Resistance and Shadows are ready for the showdown. In addition to the five horror houses, a number of the park’s classic rides will open for evening guests: Pegasus - The Night Coaster, the Matterhorn Blitz Cassandra’s Curse. The Vampire's Club’ opens on selected days at 11pm, featuring “cool beats and delicious drinks”.


Gardaland, Italy Italian amusement park Gardaland turns Halloween into cheerful family event, aimed at its core guest profile. 2018 marks the 16th Gardaland Magic Halloween, and the park will offer a reduced entry price to guests dressed up as monsters on opening day. Monsters, skeletons, zombies and other sinister characters will roam the park,


which will be transformed for the holiday. Scattered throughout the streets, themed scenography will reproduce typical Halloween symbols - the obligatory pumpkins join haystacks and giant cobwebs along with a dark, gloomy graveyard. Existing Gardaland attractions will be given a seasonal twist. At the Teatro


della Fantasia, mime-clown Pass Pass, one of Gardaland’s most beloved characters, will accompany guests on a new take on Halloween, where all fears will turn into happiness and laughter. Dark ride the Galeone dei Corsari will be


‘infested’ by malicious creatures of the abysses, and Piazza Souk will house a colourful showdown between the Sultan and the evil Visir. Finishing off the day in style, the monsters, witches, spectres and skeletons of the Halloween Parade will leave from Camelot square, before the Valley of Kings plays host to a final show. “Usually Gardaland Magic Halloween brings an excellent result in terms of


turnover, as the month of October offers a mild climate on Lake Garda and encourages visitors,” a park spokesperson reports. “The diverse and engrossing experiences and the fact that they can actively take part creates great interest and involvement for visitors.”


Liseberg, Sweden Innovation and tradition live side by side at Liseberg, and the Swedish park’s Halloween celebrations are no different. “It is a balance of the park’s identity, which is always friendly, fun and well thought through, and the scarier holiday,” explains Ebba Källeskog. “Halloween at Liseberg is a bit more daring and edgy than the summer season and Christmas season. However, Liseberg always welcome everyone and therefore we have made a point of making it possible to choose if the guests want to take part of the scarier parts of the park’s experience.” For Halloween, the park works within its different themed zones/areas also to balance the two different sides: happy and scary. “Both in our communication and inside the park we want to be clear about that we offer both scary and family-friendly areas.” This year Liseberg will offer two horror areas and four horror houses.


Shocker is billed as a “captivating experience” which takes the rider, closed in a cage, past failed operations and unhappy treatments to classics like the exorcist and everything in between – ideal for lovers of classic horror movies. Other tantalising attraction titles include Circus Bisarr, Carnival Macabre, The Experiment, District Z and The Attic. Liseberg started the Halloween season to increase tourism to Gothenburg during


the autumn holiday and Halloween. In its first year, 2015, 200,000 guest visited Halloween at Liseberg – more than double the park’s estimations. “The season continues to grow each year. It both increases revenue but also brings Liseberg closer to reaching our vision of being a international open-all-year-round destination. “The market for Halloween in Sweden is growing. We were the first amusement park in the country doing a Halloween season in this large scale. After the success we think that many saw the value and since then a number of Sweden’s amusement parks has started Halloween seasons as well.”
