Six Flags Going IP Heavy For 2024 "Fright Fest" With Mazes Based On The Conjuring, SAW, Trick R' Treat, and More!
Six Flags
Six Flags theme parks have always been a place where people scream on the roller coasters, that is a given but now guests will have even more to scream about as Six Flags has just announced what mazes and frights are coming to this year’s FRIGHT FEST and we have all the info for you below.
Usually, we hear about Halloween Horror Nights and Knott’s Scary Farm way before Six Flags announces its plans for Halloween time but this year they sure did jump the gate and slapped down a hell of a hand.
This morning, over on Variety, the outlet had the scoop on just what new IP (Intellectual Properties) the theme park will be making into mazes for its annual Fright Fest event. From what we’ve gathered, the theme park will have new mazes based on the following film franchises, SAW, The Conjuring, Trick R’Treat, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Stranger Things, Army Of The Dead and one that got our attention for sure is DCeased from DC Comics. Now all of these new additions won’t be in every park. Variety notes that:
“Fright Fest is set to open on Sept. 7. Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey and Six Flags Magic Mountain in Los Angeles will have the bulk of the haunted house mazes, with “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” exclusive to Great Adventure and “DCeased” exclusive to Six Flags Mexico. The remaining Six Flags locations across the country will have a mix of the mazes above.”
We honestly had no idea there was a Six Flags Mexico but with the addition of DCeased being south of the border only, we might just make a trip down Mexico way. We’re huge comic book nerds and it would be cool to see some zombified superheroes walking around the park.
