In Rage of the Gargoyles, riders wearing Samsung Gear VR
headsets will become pilots of an Apache-style helicopter,
transported into a futuristic battle against blood-thirsty
gargoyles on Dare Devil Dive and experience:
- The incredibly immersive world of
virtual reality – straight up nearly 100 feet as the gargoyles
pound on the copter’s windshield;
- Flying down a 95 degree launch off the
edge of a building – beyond vertical;
- Darting between a devastated cityscape
with battered skyscrapers, hazardous bridges, and falling
debris;
- Daring aerobatic maneuvers through
three inversions and zero-gravity hills; and
- A fully interactive gaming battle
through 2,100 feet of track to destroy the vicious master
gargoyle.
The petrifying Fright Fest event will also feature four new
unnerving additions:
- Mummy’s Curse, a new pitch-black
haunted maze, where the old curse of the Six Flags Over Georgia
mummies are lurking, looking for their next victim;
- The Witching Hour, a new scare
zone, where all of the dead zombies and monsters will haunt you
before the night ends at the park exit;
- CarnEvil, a live show, with the
scariest of all creepy clowns you’ve ever come to see, that will
become part of your worst nightmare; and
- Demon District, a new haunted
scare zone, where a chilling mob of infected zombies and monsters
are ominously taking over the streets of the park, holding no
bias.
The event’s signature attractions are also back this year
including Terror Train, ZX-1 and the award-winning
Dr. Fright’s Dead Man’s Party at the Crystal Pistol Music
Hall, along with all of the guest-favorite rides including Goliath,
BATMAN™: The Ride, SUPERMAN™: Ultimate Flight and more. Fright Fest
begins each night with The Uprising, where bloodthirsty
monsters are released into the dark of night.
During the day, the park is filled with tamer Thrills by Day
Halloween activities for families to enjoy together, including a
harvest festival, arts and crafts, pumpkin painting, spooky stories
and more. Children 12 and under are encouraged to wear a
family-friendly costume to the park and take part in a costume
contest with their favorite Looney Tunes friends.
Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Georgia runs September 24 through
Halloween night October 31 on select days. A Haunted Attractions
Pass is required for all mazes. For more information, please visit
