Adventureland, one of Long Island’s longest running amusement parks is launching a special Halloween promotion of teens and adults. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting Oct. 15, “Nightmare on the Midway,” makes it frightening debut from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
The spooky spectacular was created and designed as a horror-filled Halloween experience for older children and adults. But fear not, the more than 50-year-old park will continue its tradition of presenting family friendly Halloween events during the day such as a pumpkin patch, live age-appropriate performers and face-painting.
However, when the sun goes down, it will be a more hair-raising experience with attractions such as Sadistic Circusland, Zombie Asylum, Evil Express and 1313 Cemetery Way. “Nightmare on the Midway” will use state-of-the-art audio animatronics, custom set pieces and live actors, joining the ranks of the New York area’s world class haunted events and Halloween celebrations.
A portion of the proceeds from Nightmare on the Midway will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Adventureland’s Helping Hands Foundation.
