    Six Flags Great Adventure Rolls Out Thrills by Day and Frights by Night This Fall

    Fall’s Biggest Halloween Celebration--Fright Fest Presented by SNICKERS® and Kids Boo Fest— to Deliver New Scares Select Nights Sept. 12 to Nov. 2
    Jackson, N.J. — Aug. 12, 2025 — This fall, the thrills are turned up and the scares come out at night as Fright Fest presented by SNICKERS® returns to Six Flags Great Adventure for an extended fall run.

    Beginning Sept.12 and running select nights through Nov. 2, guests will encounter a chilling Halloween celebration featuring eerie scare zones, pulse-pounding nighttime shows, rides in the dark and the only location in the Northeast where guests can immerse themselves in the twisted worlds of four iconic horror film franchises.

    During the day, younger guests can enjoy Kids Boo Fest every Saturday and Sunday. With daytime delights like trick-or-treating and festive activities, the whole family can get into the Halloween spirit, no scares required.

    Nighttime Event Highlights
    Haunted mazes featuring iconic horror films:
    • Army of the Dead – Based on the infernal Netflix film: Las Vegas is sealed behind walls of steel and death. You're trapped inside the quarantine zone where hordes of flesh-hungry zombies prowl neon-lit streets. Navigate casino floors littered with carnage and dodge ravenous zombies amid the glitter and glow of this once-great destination. The city of sin has become a city of the dead—escape or join them. 
    • Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) – Welcome back to Harlow, Texas—in this corner of the world, secrets are buried deep and a dark truth lurks behind closed doors. You may think this ghost town has potential, but these blighted buildings harbor bloody memories. Leatherface haunts these streets, and your arrival has driven him to slaughter.  
    • The Conjuring Universe – Based on New Line Cinema’s iconic horror franchise: enter the Warrens' occult museum where their most terrifying cases await. Face Annabelle's malevolent stare, flee from The Nun's unholy presence, and survive the Perron farmhouse's demonic forces. Each cursed artifact awakens ancient evil. Tonight, you're not just observing their cases; you've become part of them. 
    • Trick ‘r Treat – Based on the darkly comic Halloween classic: enter into a world where tricks dominate treats, and learn the season's rules before setting out into this twisted Candy Trail nightmare. This spine-chilling experience will test your bravery and make you think twice before trick-or-treating again. 

    ​More terrifying mazes:
    • Asylum – This fan favorite returns for another season of madness and mayhem behind the gates
    • Big Top Terror presented by M&M'S® – Horrors of all shapes, sizes and species take center ring in this circus of demonic clowns
    • The Witches Reflection presented by SNICKERS® – Guests try to escape this labyrinth of mirrors before a spell traps their souls forever

    To experience these terrifying mazes, guests must purchase a Haunted Attractions Pass, which includes admission to all haunted mazes. Haunted Attractions Passes can be purchased online or at the park while supplies last.

    The Conjuring: Beyond Fear Interactive Experience to Debut at Halloween Haunt This Fall

    New attraction challenges guests to survive more than 20 minutes of next-level horror
    ​VAUGHAN, ON (Aug. 11, 2025) – For its 20th season, Halloween Haunt at Canada’s Wonderland is taking the fright factor to a new level with the introduction of The Conjuring: Beyond Fear, an interactive, SCREAMium experience. Taking place select nights Sept. 27 to Nov. 1, Halloween Haunt will also feature six haunted mazes, seven immersive scare zones, thrilling night rides and, for the first time ever, the event will now be included with all park tickets and Season Passes.

    The Conjuring: Beyond Fear – New Interactive Attraction
    This new SCREAMium experience will have guests navigate iconic scenes from New Line Cinema’s The Conjuring Universe to lock away cursed artifacts before supernatural chaos is unleashed. Guests will encounter legendary entities such as The Nun, The Crooked Man, and The Ferryman as they race to restore order and lock Annabelle back in her secure box—or risk catastrophic consequences for the living realm. With state-of-the-art effects, screen-to-scream environments, and a series of chilling interactive challenges in an experience spanning more than twenty minutes, The Conjuring: Beyond Fear* plunges guests deeper than ever before into The Conjuring Universe.

On weekends in the fall, the park will remain open morning through night without a break in between.

    Also new for this year, haunted mazes will only be accessible to guests with the purchase of a Haunted Attraction Pass. The introduction of this event pass reflects a new chapter of scares at Halloween Haunt, driven by haunted maze enhancements and the introduction of new scares designed to improve the guest experience during this event. Those seeking the heartpounding terror of the park’s haunted mazes can enhance their visit with the purchase of a Haunted Attractions Pass, while those seeking night rides, scare zones and live entertainment only require park admission. The Conjuring: Beyond Fear is not included with the Haunted Attractions Pass and is an extra-charge experience. 

    At Canada's Wonderland, the safety of guests and associates is a key priority. For Halloween Haunt, the park is implementing a chaperone policy to help ensure that all guests have a fun and enjoyable experience. More details will be released soon.

    This new, premium attraction—unlike anything guests have experienced at a Six Flags park before— will have guests navigate iconic scenes from New Line Cinema's The Conjuring Universe to lock away cursed artifacts before supernatural chaos is unleashed. Guests will encounter legendary entities such as The Nun, The Crooked Man and The Ferryman as they race to restore order and lock Annabelle back in her secure box—or risk catastrophic consequences for the living realm.

    With state-of-the-art effects, screen-to-scream environments, and a series of chilling interactive challenges in an experience spanning more than 20 minutes, The Conjuring: Beyond Fear will plunge guests deeper than ever before into The Conjuring Universe. The attraction will debut in Carowinds, Cedar Point, Canada's Wonderland and Kings Island. The Conjuring: Beyond Fear experience is a premium activity that will require an à la carte purchase or purchase of a Haunted Attractions Express Pass (park admission not included).

    Blockbuster Horror Comes to Life in Haunted Mazes Across North America

    Seven theme parks will immerse guests into an assortment of cinematic nightmares with the return of legendary horror properties The Conjuring Universe, SAW, Trick 'r Treat, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Army of the Dead, and new in 2025, The Strangers. This year's collection will feature elevated scares and enhanced visual effects for 2025. Guests will find select horrors of Hollywood at Fright Fest presented by SNICKERS® inside Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Mexico, Six Flags Over Georgia and Six Flags Over Texas.

    This year's attractions include:

    • The Conjuring Universe – Based on New Line Cinema's iconic horror franchise, enter the Warrens' occult museum where their most terrifying cases await.

Tonight, you're not just observing their cases; you've become part of them.
