This time of the year may be all about Back to School and the end of summer, but at
Long Island’s Adventureland, it means the start of fall fun! The iconic family amusement park is open daily until Labor Day, and weekends and holidays throughout the fall—if school’s closed, they’re open! Ride favorites like the Wave Swing, Ferris Wheel, and Music Express or try new thrills on the Formula One Bumper Cars or Turbulence Roller Coaster. Pay One Price Bracelets (P.O.P.) are available for unlimited riding, or patrons can purchase single ride tickets for $1.50 each, and pay per ride. Each ride requires 3-5 tickets, so if you’d like to experience more than 5 rides, the P.O.P. band is recommended. Admission and parking are always free every day; you only pay to ride. For a day of family fun, bring the kids, grandma, and grandpa to Adventureland, grab a pretzel or a churro, and get ready to make some family memories

This fall is your last chance to experience the Ghost House, as a brand new Haunted Mansion will replace the current haunted house ride for the 2018 season. The new Haunted Mansion will be the first two-floor spooky house to ever reside at Adventureland, and it will feature floor-less gondola-style cars that allow for indoor and outdoor haunts. Manufactured in Italy, the Haunted Mansion features state of the art animatronics and special effects lighting and sound, perfect for thrills and chills for the young and the young at heart. The new Haunted Mansion is scheduled to open spring of 2018.

If frights are not your cup of tea, Adventureland’s unique line up of thrill rides may be just the ticket for you. The Turbulence roller coaster joined the Adventureland family in the spring of 2015, replacing the iconic Hurricane coaster. Turbulence is a custom-made spinning coaster that was designed and manufactured by Mack Rides, a family owned and operated German company that has been a leader in amusement ride engineering and design for over 225 years. The cars on this green and yellow coaster spin freely as they race around the track, giving riders 360 degrees of thrills and a unique experience every time they ride. Another popular thrill ride is the Music Express, located just across the midway from Turbulence. This classic ride quickly builds momentum to take riders up and down inclines as they travel around, all while rocking out to the latest top charting hits. A trip to Adventureland isn’t complete without a ride on the Wave Swing. Located at the north-western edge of the park, the Wave Swing elicits smiles from not only those enjoying the ride, but also from all the travelers who drive pass this ride on route 110. Fly high over Adventureland as the Wave Swing lifts you up and tilts and twirls you around!

There’s more than just rides at Adventureland. The 15-acre amusement park features a state of the art indoor arcade and restaurant, snack stands, gift shops and more. Their impressive roster of midway games includes fan favorites like Long Shot Basketball and Rope Climb, new games like Topspin, and classic fun like Whack-a-Mole and Ring Toss. New for this season, the indoor arcade has been upgraded to a token-less card swipe system. The rechargeable player cards allow you to add points and win big and point bonuses give you the chance to play more and win more. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, check out the Sweet Shop, located next to the 3Generations Food Court. With a wide variety of treats like ice cream, fudge, and candy, your sweet tooth will be satisfied at the Sweet Shop! If you’d rather shop while the kids play, the Moose Market Gift Shoppe is just the spot for you. With souvenirs, unique keepsakes, and personalized items, you’re sure to find that special something for that special someone.

All fall long, The Helping Hands Foundation is collecting nonperishable food for two local pantries. Last year, the foundation created over 100 Thanksgiving Baskets for a Long Island pantry, and this year the goal is to double that number! Items like canned food, gift cards, water bottles and more will be acceptedat the Ticket Booth. Donors will receive a free gift. For more information visit: www.HelpingHandsLI.org

Many people know that group rates are available throughout Adventureland’s season, however many are unaware that Adventureland can be rented privately in the fall and spring seasons. In fact, on weeknights and certain weekend nights throughout September and October, Adventureland hosts a variety of exclusive events for schools, PTAs, and nonprofit organizations. Renting the park privately is a unique and fun way to kick off the school year, raise funds, and connect with other parents in your community. Adventureland has helped dozens of organizations schedule and plan private events that are custom to the needs of their group. For date availability, please email GuestRelations@adventureland.us
