30 Years of Six Flags Fright Fest Proves Theme Park Fans are Dying for Chilling Thrills

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: SIX), the world’s largest regional theme park company and the largest operator of water parks in North America, launches the 30^th season of Six Flags Fright Fest with all-new haunted houses inspired by iconic horror movies, The Conjuring, opening in New Jersey and California, and Saw X, opening in 4 parks across the U.S. In addition, fifteen Six Flags parks in the US, Canada and Mexico are scaring guests with dozens of immersive experiences, spooky mazes, live shows, themed food and beverage offerings and of course, trick-or-treating.

“Six Flags Fright Fest is an important part of our passion to thrill guests and exceed their expectations,” said Six Flags Chief Marketing Officer Edithann Ramey. “The Fright Fest events taking place at Six Flags parks across North America are scarier than ever, but we’ve also included activities for the little ones at our daytime Boo Fest event. What’s also great, is that it’s incredibly affordable to visit during Fright Fest because the event is included at most parks for season pass holders.”

Six Flags Fright Fest presented by SNICKERS® is ready to make guests scream in horror or delight. Family-friendly events and seasonal décor make the daylight hours a fun and special experience for families. When dusk approaches, the ghouls come out, making it an appropriate time for those who are easily scared to make their exit. Select rides and attractions are open throughout the park and nothing is scarier than tackling a monster coaster in the dark.
