Six Flags is taking a page from the Universal Halloween Horror Nights playbook for this year’s Fright Fest. The park chain announced that for 2024 they’re bringing a lineup of famous horror franchises to the parks. The new lineup is the biggest investment and expansion in Fright Fest the chain has ever made.
Two of the chain’s biggest parks, Six Flags Great Adventure and Six Flags Magic Mountain, will be bringing most of the new attractions to their parks. Those include experiences from properties including the SAW franchise, The Conjuring, Annabelle, The Nun, and Trick ‘r Treat. They’ll also feature attractions and mazes from Netflix’s Army of the Dead and Stranger Things (which was once featured in a Halloween Horror Nights maze).
Six Flags Magic Mountain – Fright Fest
Six Flags Great Adventure adds a Texas Chainsaw Massacre themed experience, while Six Flags Mexico will have an exclusive maze based on the best selling DC comic series, DCeased. We don’t know exactly what the other parks will be getting, but we know some mix of the above mazes will be coming to them.
Here are more details on the new Fright Fest attractions from the Six Flags press release:
- The SAW Franchise – Celebrate the 20th anniversary of SAW with an all-new experience honoring the franchise’s legacy of terror by plunging guests into the depths of Jigsaw’s twisted mind. Guests will endure torturous trials and come face to face with some of John Kramer’s most diabolical contraptions before time runs out.
- The Conjuring Universe – Strap in for a tour of the Warrens’ most hair-raising and gruesome cases including those that inspired The Conjuring, Annabelle and The Nun. In each realm, encounters with cursed artifacts make you the target of the conjuring.
- Stranger Things – Guests will be able to step into the popular Netflix series through this new immersive maze…stay tuned for more details.
- Army of the Dead – The City of Las Vegas is under lockdown following a recent viral outbreak and survivors must look for an escape while battling the undead.
- Trick ‘r Treat – Enter a dark and twisted candy trail nightmare on a jack-o-lantern-lit path of supernatural encounters which tap into your deepest fears. With Sam, the infamous Spirit of Halloween, as your guide, learn the rules of the spooky holiday before entering a world where tricks dominate treats.
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) – Guests are “cast” as visitors to Harlow on the heels of the influencers set on revitalizing the town – but their arrival leads to a stunning and deadly secret being revealed.
- DCeased – Based on the #1 best selling comic series, fans enter through the Hall of Justice to find that the DC Universe has succumbed to Darkseid’s Anti-Life Equation! See the Justice League like never before, as they fight to save the Earth or end it themselves. Will you be one of the few to survive these new scares of the DC Universe?
Fright Fest starts September 7. For any more details on Fright Fest, check out the Six Flags home page or specific park pages, and keep an eye out for more details at what Fright Fest attractions will be coming to the rest of the Six Flags parks. Of course, the real question is, will there be a zombie Mr. Six?
Also if Zombie Mr. Six isn’t the Fright Fest icon at all of these parks, what are we even doing here?
