Six Flags America has announced the return of the Halloween event, "Six Flags Fright Fest" in Maryland. The event begins on September 25, kicking off its 21st season with 16 dates through October 31.
The theme park has introduced a new event named “BOO,” which includes family-friendly fall activities during the daytime. The event runs Fright Fest weekends from noon to 6 p.m. Entry to BOO is included with paid admission. Attractions include a "Trick-or-Treat Trail" and "Whistlestop Corn Maze," as well as the newly introduced "Halloween Kids Crafts;" park rides with Halloween-themed decor; and three new shows including the illusions of Las Vegas headliner Aaron Radatz, and family sing-a-longs.
The "Fright by Night" event begins at 6 p.m. This year’s lineup at Six Flags America includes five haunted attractions, namely "Total Damnation," "Twisted Fairy Tales," "Haunting of Hall Manor," "Voodoo Curse" and the new "Reaper Railways: The Show Must Go On" haunted train ride; four scare zones, "Carn-Evil," "Ghost Town," "Medieval Mayhem" and "Zombieville;" 10 rides; and three new shows, besides the old favorite "Dead Man’s Party," more diabolical than ever before.
All Fright Fest shows, scare zones, and thrill rides are included with park admission, memberships and season passes. Five premium haunted attractions require an additional fee. Fright by Night is not recommended for children under 12 and those who are easily scared.
Six Flags, Coca-Cola and Fanta have partnered to deliver four augmented reality experiences to park guests this year. Each of the experiences will reveal a hidden “scare” within the Fright Fest-inspired AR scenes that allow users to create sharable content. These web-based AR experiences will be available by scanning onsite QR codes, Six Flags beverage bottles, or the Fright Fest logo. Guests can also visit the Fanta photo booth experience inside the parks.
Guests can also enjoy Fright Fest food and beverage offerings such as the Funnel Scream Cake featuring SNICKERS, a Fright Fest favorite, and the new Frightening Fanta Fizz drink made with Fanta, candy corn syrup, whipped cream and sprinkles, available in a limited-edition souvenir cup.
