JACKSON, NJ – Six Flags Great Adventure announces a demonic lineup for its 30th Fright Fest, featuring eight haunted houses, six scare zones, and four shows. Among the new attractions are haunts inspired by popular films “The Conjuring” and “Saw X.”

Fright Fest will begin with preview nights on September 8 and 9. Guests with a Fright Fest preview ticket can access six haunted houses, five scare zones, and two shows, including Freak Show and Blade Drummers. The park’s regular attractions will also be open during the event.

The 30th anniversary of Fright Fest will operate on select days between September 15 and October 31. While daytime activities are designed for families and include attractions like Kids Boo Fest and Oktoberfest, the park will switch gears at night to feature more frightening attractions. These include haunted houses such as “The Manor” and “Aftermath,” scare zones like “Clown Town” and “Bloody Fountain,” and shows like “Dead Man’s Party.”


Six Flags will also host “Family-Friendly” Kids Boo Fest on weekends from September 16 through October 29. The daytime event will feature family-friendly activities like trick-or-treating in Cornstalk National Park, the Hunt for Boo, a live show named Witch’s Brew, and wagon rides.

Six Flags advises families with young children, those with sensory sensitivities, and those who scare easily to exit the park before nighttime activities begin. Some evening attractions will require a separate fee.

Fright Fest haunted attractions will operate on various nights, including September 8-9, 15-17, 22-24, 29-30 and October 1, 6-8, 12-15, 18-22, and 25-31.
