Voted the Best Theme Park Halloween Event in 2015, Six Flags
Magic Mountain leaves no tombstone unturned to deliver what guests
want most…an all-out terrifying experience. Fright Fest includes a
total of seven electrifying mazes, seven dare-to-enter scare zones,
and a terrifying corps of roaming zombies around every corner. If
that’s not enough, Six Flags Magic Mountain adds a sinister element
to some of the theme park’s monster coasters by turning off the
lights, leaving riders to face their fears in total
darkness–literally.
“Six Flags Magic Mountain has kicked it up again in the haunted
attraction genre with the introduction of the largest, most
innovative and immersive maze in the company’s history, Aftermath
2: Chaos Rising,” said Bonnie Sherman Weber, Six Flags Magic
Mountain park president. “Combined with the new Suicide Squad scare
zone, more scare-actors than ever before, and additional nights,
Six Flags Magic Mountain’s Fright Fest is a definite leading player
in Southern California Halloween locales.”
This year’s stunning new scare zone, Suicide Squad: The Six
Flags Fright Fest Experience transforms the Park’s DC UNIVERSE
area into DC Midway City, where some of the “Worst Heroes Ever”
from the blockbuster film Suicide Squad are roaming the streets.
Darkness and chaos reign as some of DC's most famous Super-Villains
are found among the mass destruction from the film.
State-of-the-art digital imagery and fiery special effects create
an inferno as buildings burst into flames and creatures attack from
every angle. It feels good to be bad at Suicide Squad: The Six
Flags Fright Fest Experience.
The company’s largest maze ever built, an outdoor attraction,
Aftermath 2: Chaos Rising, debuted this year in a
brand new sprawling location. Tripled in size and covering more
than 40,000 square feet, this massive maze strikes terror into the
brave souls entering a post-apocalyptic city where a renegade
faction is threatening to destroy the only livable space with the
release of a dangerous toxin that guests must escape.
Larger-than-life props, fire, fog and intense special effects make
this a must-experience maze.
Back by popular demand haunted scare zones include TERRORtory
Twisted, located in the Screampunk District, which is Magic
Mountain’s biggest scare zone and features steam-spewing mechanical
beasts relentlessly hunting down their victims. Beware of the
terrifying giant spider looming at the entrance.
Coming back for the third year, three popular mazes incorporate
state-of-the-art props, Hollywood-quality make-up, and story lines
not meant for the faint-of-heart. Enter the world of Red’s
Revenge…over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother’s
house you go, but in this fairytale, guests and the wolf are hunted
by Red and her demonic minions. Vault 666 is an old
abandoned research facility where genetic experiments crossing
humans with animals were once conducted and just recently the
frightening secrets have been unearthed, exposing terror and mayhem
from deep within the unsecured vault. Willoughby’s Garden of
Darkness, a dense labyrinth of man-eating plants and evil
apparitions, is inhabited by Innocence, the Willoughby’s youngest
daughter, who is always looking for a ghostly playmate…so keep
loved ones close.
Also returning is the demented 3D twist, Toyz of Terror
3D, the defunct toy factory haunted by wicked windups, freakish
furries and deranged dolls…and if that’s not enough to scare the
wits out of even the bravest, guests are now forced to experience
the madness in 3D terror. Willoughby’s Resurrected is a
reincarnation of the Willoughby family’s beloved haunted mansion
that includes hair-raising horror down long harrowing hallways and
around each nightmarish-turn. Don’t miss Chupacabra, where
guests come face to face with this elusive blood-thirsty creature
as it petrifies the local Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead)
Festival.
In addition to the two new haunted attractions this year, five
additional scare zones around the park leave guests nowhere to hide
and screaming to get out alive. After entering Fright Fest
through the gates of Demon’s Door, face the undead in
Zombie Xing. In Nightmares – A Twisted Fantasy,
childhood fears and favorite bedtime stories take on a perverse
twist, freak out on Exile Hill when unimaginable sinister
souls appear without warning, and throughout the Wasteland,
barbarian humanoids dare guests to enter the carnage of
Aftermath 2: Chaos Rising.
Beginning each night at 7 p.m. and traveling throughout the park
are the crazed comic-like characters who will run amuck through the
park, taunting unsuspecting guests.
Spooktacular shows include the hypnotists, who put park guests
in compromising scenarios in their hilarious stage show located in
Golden Bear Theater, and the very popular VooDoo Nights,
where Ghoul Rock has gone pop with a musical spectacular sure to
entertain. Be sure to dust off your thriller moves and join in the
fun in the Full Throttle Plaza.
For the little monsters, a Trick or Treat Trail and Halloween
Crafts round out the activities during the day.
