Fright Fest at Magic Mountain

 

Who would have thought that even at 45 years old I still get crazy excited about fast roller coasters and getting chased around an amusement park by scary monsters. I literally feel like a kid in a candy store when it comes to events like this. Fright Fest at Magic Mountain is one of those events that gets my goosebumps started and my adrenaline into high gear! I’ll bring lozenges with me because I know I will be screaming and laughing hysterically. It it a “safe” fear that makes it so much fun!

Fright Fest At Six Flags Magic Mountain

Six Flags Magic Mountain’s 29th season of Fright Fest is back with 23 terrifying nights of monsters, ghouls, and creepy characters ready to strike fear in anyone who crosses their path. The bone-chilling lineup of attractions features a daunting new haunted house, two new spine-tingling scare zones, an ominous new show, and a new haunted happy hour. Six Flags Magic Mountain leaves no tombstone unturned to deliver what guests want most—an all-out terrifying experience, on select nights September 10 through October 31.

Fright Fest, presented by Snickers®, boasts a grand total of 14 electrifying haunted houses and dare-to-enter scare zones with nightmarish zombies lurking around every corner. Six Flags Magic Mountain also adds a sinister element to some of the park’s monster coasters by turning off the lights, leaving riders to face their fears in total darkness. And, for the little monsters, BooFest offers frightfully fun family activities during the day with a Trick-or-Treat Trail in Bugs Bunny World.
