🚨 NEW IN THE DENT CONCESSION STAND 🚨

Introducing: SCREAM POPS

Our most questionable new treat features your favorite Dent characters… frozen, flavored, and slightly unsettling.

Now serving:
🍦 Pumpkin Smasher – Spiced Gourd Rage
🍦 Charlie the Janitor – Mop Water Mint
🍦 Zobo the Clown – Circus Cherry

Each Scream Pop comes complete with authentic gumball eyes and a texture we can only describe as “legally ice cream.”

Please note:
• Gumball eyes may shift during consumption
• Faces may appear… different than advertised
• Melting may occur faster when stared at

Available this season while supplies last (and they won’t last long).

Dent Concessions — Come for the fear. Stay because you’re holding a popsicle and don’t know what to do with it.

🚨 NEW FOR THIS SEASON AT DENT SCHOOLHOUSE 🚨

We are excited to officially announce that permits have been approved for a brand-new guest experience coming to Dent…

Introducing: The Basement Drop™

This all-new feature will allow guests to travel from the second floor directly to the basement through a newly installed industrial slide system. Designed to enhance guest flow and deliver a more… immediate descent into darkness, The Basement Drop offers a fast, controlled transition into one of the most intense areas of the attraction.

Construction is already underway, and our team has been working closely with local inspectors to ensure the slide meets all required safety standards.*

Guests choosing to experience The Basement Drop must meet the following requirements:
• Minimum height: 48 inches
• No loose items (including phones, keys, or emotional attachments)
• Not recommended for guests with heart conditions, back issues, or a strong sense of self-preservation

We’re excited to bring this new level of immersion to Dent this season. Once you go down… there’s no going back.

More updates coming soon.

*Final approval pending.
