This year, Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey is back to its old haunts during its annual Fright Fest. Crawl around to hide from the ghosts, ghouls, goblins and over 200 zombies. Six Flags Fright Fest promises thousands of mums, zombies, evil scarecrows, cornstalks, hay bales, cobwebs and over-sized spiders around the country. Roam the haunted midways and encounter “Thrills by Day, Fright by Night” entertainment for the young and old.
The seven week-long celebration runs every Saturday and Sunday from the second weekend in September to the first one in November. Some weekdays will feature many of the Halloween Six Flags Fright Fest activities so check their calendar. Welcome back Fright Fest to many of the 27 other Six Flags themeparks in the US, Canada and Mexico.
Big Kids and Brave Ones Love Nighttime Thrills
Fright by Night, which begins nightly at 6pm, is not recommended for children under 12 and those who scare easily.
After dark, an array of crazy clowns and angry zombies mingle among mortals throughout the park’s Scare Zones. This fall, the park introduces Clown Town and District 6 Unearthed. Venom Gulch is a new trail of terror trail.
Love Haunted Mazes? If you dare, enter The Lab. Maybe you can make it through Xpedition Dino: Survival with dino-mite surprises around every corner. This prehistoric adventure features 30 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs with realistic movement and sound. While educational by day, it can be really spooky and weird at night.
In addition to some of the world’s best thrill rides, the theme park’s 140-acre “scream park” will feature two dozen additional Halloween-themed shows and attractions. You can also go on the thrill rides — day or night — you might enjoy the rest of the season: El Toro, Kindga Ka, the Joker, Jersey Devil Coaster and Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom.
Nighttime shows, known as “monstertainment,” include the return of the iconic Dead Man’s Party, The Awakening, Circus of Thrills and more. Choose your ticket package carefully. Terror trails require an additional fee, while all scare zones and monstertainment are included with park admission.
