Last week we were invited to a special preview of Fright Fest at Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Mary and Hannah went out to check out the festivities. 

Looks like another amazing year for Fiesta Texas and we can't wait to see more from their Fright Fest. 

Welcome to Fright Fest at Six Flags Fiesta Texas 

Hannah is actually excited to be here 

Our passes and schedule for our night of fright

Some of the scare zones were open to welcome us 

Beware of monsters 

Yay for free food 

Entrance to Buried Alive 

The projection mapping on Aftermath looks amazing 

Love all the characters and props 

One last look at the awesome projection mapping 

Thanks to Fiesta Texas for having us out for the preview, we can't wait to get back out to the event for more scares.

The last few years Fright Fest at Six Flags Magic Mountain has been improving by leaps and bounds. Gone are the "paint on black walls" mazes that dominated the event in the 90's and early 00's and they have been replaced with fully immersive environments and the best make-up effects at any haunt in Southern California. 

Welcome to Fright Fest 2016! 

Unlike other theme park haunts, Fright Fest doesn't close prior to the scary stuff starting and instead a maze pass is needed to go through all of the mazes. 

Due to a couple of events and the last day for "Bring a Friend Free" the park was crazy busy. 

Praise on the Mountain and Fright Fest ... a match made in, well, somewhere. 

A few years ago, SFMM didn't really do events for Fright Fest. The first kind of "media" event they did was a few years ago (2011) when my son and I got walked through the then all new Aftermath with a member of their PR department (this was back in the MiceChat days). 

In just a few short years, 2 has grown into 96 and we couldn't be more happy for the attention this event is getting. 

They've figured out how to pack their event with Theme Park Bloggers ... food!! =) 

Beware of Zombies ... 

Our first stop was the all new Suicide Squad scare zone 

The way the scare zone is set up is the actual "Suicide Squad" are set up more like photo ops and the "underlings" are the actual scarers. This actually works very well as you can see how popular the Joker is. This was essentially as close as we got. 

The sliders in this area are always amazing

There is some incredible projection mapping on the DC Universe facade. We will be going back to Fright Fest on a slightly less busy night and will get video of the amazing effects. 

Be sure to check out the slideshow below for more pictures of this awesome scare zone

Next up was the awesome Aftermath 2 which we got a tour of last week. Be sure to check out that update if you missed it. 

Full walk through of Aftermath 

Two guesses who took these amazing pictures (hint, it was Matt) 

Magic Mountain was totally amazing with the media providing some escorts so we could take pictures and video in all the mazes and walking us through all of the amazing scare zones. 

Nightmares A Twisted Fantasy is always one of our favorite scare zones

The always great Demons Door has received some new effects this year 

Last year the amazing Terrortory Twisted debuted at Fright Fest and this year it once again doesn't disappoint. All the fog in this area drifts over to Scream and Twisted Colossus which provides some nice effects for both those rides. 

Reds Revenge which debuted a few years ago continues to improve every year and this year was no exception. 

Have to admit, the first few years of Vault 666 were "fun", but it was kind of overshadowed by Reds which debuted the same year. This year, there was easily double the talent of previous years and the maze was AWESOME. 

Be sure to check out our awesome video of this great maze 

Toyz of Terror 3D is amazing and one of the few remaining 3D mazes 

Hiding behind the short bus 

Thanks again to Magic Mountain for an amazing night at Fright Fest. We'll definitely be back this year and stay tuned for a potential surprise in a few weeks. 

For MUCH more amazing pictures of Fright Fest be sure to check out the slideshow below

In addition to our first Justice League tour we also got to check out the all new Aftermath 2 Chaos Rising that is coming to this years Fright Fest at Six Flags Magic Mountain. 

​Be sure to check out all the great pictures and video from this amazing tour. 

Video of the tour including a bit of explanation of the new maze from the amazing designers 

The new maze is located near Apocalypse and is the biggest maze in Fright Fest history. 

Welcome to Ash Valley, who's population is probably a bit less than that now. =) 

Follow the Evacuation Route and you will be safe for sure 

Hmm, something isn't right here 

That doesn't look good 

Have you seen them? 

My twin 

So not only are there multiple paths through this maze (that are totally different) there's also a scare zone ... in the maze. 

When you've gotta go you've gotta go 

It's back!!! 

Wonder if Walter White know's what they've done to his camper 

David Wally explaining a bit about the maze ... you've gotta watch the video to hear more 

This maze has got a pretty high body count 

Heading to the Dock and safety ... maybe. They wouldn't tell us what the ending of the maze was. We'll have to find out on Saturday. 

Maze and Scare Zone location signs are up throughout the park 

The Suicide Squad scare zone is looking awesome 

Loved the way this picture came out 

This was just added yesterday, can't wait to see it all lit up 

Thanks to Mark, Pam and Scott for the amazing tour. Be sure to watch the video for more details on what is going to be in the Scare Zone 

We'll of course be back at Magic Mountain this Saturday for the kick off of Fright Fest, so be sure to follow us on our social media pages for live updates all night.
