Thread: Halloween fun in New Hampshire

Tweet

Last year Cranmore Mountain (which is a great spot to go all year round) in North Conway had a Halloween themed party going on called the Ghoullag. It starts September 31st this year and its bound to get a few scares out of you. Incase you wanted to know more I am listing some of the details I got from their site.


The Ghoullog is the only Halloween event in the nation featuring a chairlift ride to a haunted house at the summit of a mountain. Cranmore’s 2,000 foot summit is located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and offers visitors breathtaking night-time views of the Moats, Mount Washington and the village of North Conway, NH.

New for the Ghoullog this year is the addition of new rides and attractions; and ticket offers. Cranmore’s Mountain Coaster will receive a Halloween-themed face lift as they offer “Haunted Coaster Rides” to take place during Ghoullog dates. The Coaster is a roller-coaster like ride that takes visitors on a 3,600 foot round trip ride up and down the mountain in a 2-person sled mounted on a steel track. Cranmore’s new Giant Swing, which gives 4 people a breath-taking sky-ride, will also operate at night for the event.

Ghoullog fans seeking the ultimate experience will want to sign up for the new “RIP” Ticket, which gives them two trips through the Ghoullog, a ride each on the Coaster and Swing, plus an exclusive “RIP” lounge with a private themed sitting area. The RIP Ticket is ideal for large groups and corporate outings.

Tickets for admission to The Ghoullog are $25 at the door or $23 online. A Ghoullog Plus package includes one admission ticket, one giant swing ride and one mountain coaster ride for $39 at the door or $37 online. The Ghoullog RIP ticket offers up to two Ghoullog tours plus one giant swing ride, one mountain coaster ride and RIP lounge access for $59 at the door or $57 online. Also giant swing rides and mountain coaster rides are available for $10 each.

Additionally, residents of Carroll and Coos County in New Hampshire or Oxford County in Maine are entitled to a $21 “locals” rate on September 30.

The Ghoullog also has a full array of fall food favorites like fried dough and more in the Legends Grill. Additionally, the Ghoullog will open the Bloody Noose Pub, a fully-licensed facility serving up Tuckerman Ale and other libations.

The Ghoullog will take place on weekends from September 30 until October 29. For a full list of dates and times and for more information about The Ghoullog visit www.theghoullog.com.

So funny you posted this. My husband and I were just talking about going to NH next Fall. We went to N. Conway for our honeymoon, but I've never been to NH in the middle of Autumn. This is something we'll proabably do! Thanks for posting

My sister lives right around the corner from there!! As far as going in the middle of Autumn....just keep in mind that things start much sooner up there....by mid Oct. they are switching into winter mode. My husband and I went up to visit during Halloween one year and they actually got snow that evening!! It was awesome putting jack O lanterns out on the porch with the snow coming down. Absolutely gorgeous!!

Yes it does get quite chilly up there early on. We honeymooned there the first week into the second week of September and the mornings and nights were cold! But I loved it We stayed at Adventure Suits in N. Conway and our room was facing the backyard where they have a fire pit and came out to do a fire every night. I absolutely loved it! Every morning I went out there with my coffee and watched the sun coming up over the mountains

That sounds awesome!! It is absolutely gorgeous up there. My sister kind of lives out in the middle of nowhere and her property is amazing! They are surrounded by trees...and in the fall it's breath taking! We haven't been up for quite a few years....this thread makes me realize how much I miss going!

I love the Adventure Suites!!! Even though we live in NH, my husband and I go to North Conway every year and our two young boys love going to the White Mountains every year!!

I love Halloween here!! We have Nightmare New England in Litchfield, Haunted Overload in Lee, Haunted Acres in Epping..... So many more!!

Omg I can't wait till next year now! LOL

Just found this thread, I am in NH now since 1986- a native Californian and I can honestly say that is was the absolute majesty of autumn that brought my family here. Ever see those photos of Vermont and NH on a jigsaw puzzle box? The autumn colors with a green field and whitewashed church? Well, it really does exsist

There is nothing like it anywhere, the colors of foliage against a cobalt blue sky. The two months of glory make up for the other 10 months of lousy weather.

Thanks for the heads up on Cranmore, think we may try it this year
