MABLETON, Ga. (August 17, 2026) – This fall, Six Flags Over Georgia transforms into a world of haunted mazes, roaming monsters and pulse-pounding scares as Fright Fest returns, select nights, Sept. 12 through Nov. 1. The park today announced an expansive event lineup of 13 haunted experiences, including two new premium haunted mazes, two new immersive scare zones, a new live show and the return of fan-favorite experiences inspired by Warner Bros. The Conjuring Universe and Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures’ SAW.

"Fright Fest is all about bringing to life the stories that haunt our guests' imaginations," said Richard Pretlow, park president. "This year's lineup combines iconic horror franchises with original haunted experiences and immersive environments designed by our talented team to terrify guests from the moment they enter the park until the final scream of the night."

Blending blockbuster horror franchises with original nightmarish stories, Fright Fest delivers chilling experiences around every corner with premium haunted mazes, sinister creatures in the midways, exhilarating night rides on the park’s iconic coasters and unforgettable scares throughout the night.

New Haunted Attractions Coming to Fright Fest 2026

Five new experiences debuting this season include:

  • Infestation presented by SNICKERS®: Guests enter a condemned home overtaken by swarms of spiders, roaches and mutant vermin. Inside, the bugs are no longer dying. They're evolving.
  • Dreadwell Brothers Carnival of Curiosities: A once-celebrated carnival has fallen into ruin, now inhabited by deranged carnies, eerie sideshow performers and unsettling mysteries that emerge after dark.
  • Nevermore: This fog-shrouded realm is inhabited by towering raven-like creatures that stalk guests through hanging cages, bone-filled nests and the remnants of their latest prey.
  • The Mare: The Nightmare and his zombie minions break-dance the night away.
