Halloween Spooky Train

Halloween Spooky Train opens Oct 5th at The Concourse Grand Railroad Shady Hills, FL 34610 – The Concourse announces the opening of The Concourse Grand Railroad on October 5th with the very first public ride. The Spooky Train will run every Friday and Saturday night in October from 6:00 PM to 10 PM. Over one-half mile of train track has been painstakingly laid by a group of train enthusiasts led by Bill Donati, the creator of the small-scale rail line. This group of dedicated engineers have partnered with The Concourse to house and run their miniature trains for the fun and benefit of the community. Be the first to board the brand new Spooky Train and experience a scary miniature train ride that will take you around the pond, through the woods, and past Pasco Safety Town. Check into “Hotel California”, cruise by the swamp shack and creep through the spider tunnel. Beware of live actors and special effects. Giant Halloween hay bales with fun faces have been painted for a memorable family photo opportunity. Hours are from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM for the Sunset Ride, which may be best for young or easily frightened children. The Fright Ride will run from 7:15 PM to 10:00 PM. The cost is $3.00 per ride. Children under 12 months are free. Food concessions are available. The Spooky Train is located at The Concourse, 11919 Alric Pottberg Road in Shady Hills (Pasco County) just west of the Suncoast Parkway on State Road 52. It is a short ride from either Hernando or Hillsborough County. The Concourse is also home to Pasco Safety Town, the Rotary Pavilion, the Celebration of Lights, Jeepin 4 Justice, The Taste of Pasco, Holiday Extravaganza, Kiwanis’s Poker Run and other fun events. The Holiday Train will begin operating in November in conjunction with the Celebration of Lights and activities in Safety Town. Keep posted for more information on dates and times.
