Six Flags Over Texas will transform from a "theme park" to a haunted "scream park" during this season's Fright Fest, the largest Halloween festival in North Texas. The bone-chilling thrills begin Friday, September 30, and will continue weekends throughout the month of October. Ride the most roller coasters in the Southwest, including the new-and-improved Texas Giant, which was named Best New Coaster of 2011. It will be a hair-raising experience throughout the more than 200-acre theme/scream park.
Dates
Fright Fest opens Friday, September 30, 2011 and runs through October 30, 2011.
What to Expect
During the 15 days of thrills and chills at Six Flags Over Texas, there will be plenty of fearful frights, 'monster-tainment', and spine-tingling adventures. By day guests can enjoy Halloween-themed shows for kids, but once the sun begins to set, the ghouls, zombies, and goblins come out to haunt the midways. Among the many nighttime attractions, bone-chilling, teeth-chattering scares can be found at the park's three new haunted houses: Cirkus Berzerkus, Cadaver Hall Asylum, and Dead End...Blood Alley.
New Haunted Houses:
Cirkus Berzerkus: (A Black Light Fright): Hurry, hurry, hurry, the circus is in town. Not just any circus, a circus turned upside down. Killer clowns that swing an axe and freak show freaks that will attack. Blood in the center ring will glow bright as you face this carn-evil in a whole new light. Rabid buffoons in greasepaint, you’ll dread to join in this circus because you might end up dead.
Cadaver Hall Asylum: The doctor is in...sane, criminally! Lose your mind and have yourself committed to Cadaver Hall Asylum. Insane inmates run rampant through the corridors of this once majestic sanatorium. Surgeons, who once cut with a skillful hand, now crazed from their toxic experiments, dissect, dismember, and disfigure at a slow and agonizing pace to feed their twisted urges. Step into the waiting room to be admitted, but watch your back as therapy in this gruesome clinic typically turns fatal.
Dead End... Blood Alley: At the corner of Fear and Terror Streets is a turn you don't want to take. The undead and carnivorous have laid claim to this long-abandoned and forgotten urban landscape as their "Deathtropolis." Your missteps could be your last by entering this city of homicidal creatures. If fright is on your road map, "Dead End...Blood Alley" is just the destination. Take a wrong turn into terror!
Entertainment
Guests can also take a seat and enjoy some of the best 'monster-tainment' in North Texas as Six Flags performers showcase some devilish levels of entertainment.
Welcome to Arania's Nightmare (The David Blackburn Southern Palace): This classic Six Flags Over Texas show is back as Arania, the Black Widow Bride, is on a manhunt for husband number 14. It seems the other 13 have all met with mysterious ends. This comical search takes place on the evening of the reading of the will of husband number 13, as Arania's best friend, seer, psychic, and long-time bridesmaid conjure up likely candidates for Madame Arania. Throw in Arania's lovesick lawyer, her man servant, and a cast of goons, goblins, ghoulettes, and a little something from the laboratory, and a hauntingly good time is had by all.
Howl (Majestic Theatre): MTV has nothing on our own Howl-o-ween Top 10 Countdown. Jaxx, Gash, Vixen, Lotus, Scarlet, and Ransom perform music by Lady Gaga, Aerosmith, Run DMC, Styx, Kelly Clarkson, Kiss, Skillet, and many more. Fright Fest never rocked like this.
WBAT Fright Time Radio Remote (Silver Star Carousel Stage): Be sure to drop in on the crew of 1313 WBAT Fright Time Radio as they cook up some of the most rockin' Halloween tunes and give away spooky prizes, including free Fright Passes! Your ghoulish gang of hosts keeps the thrills going all day with creepy trivia contests and shocking games that will make you scream for more. At WBAT there's always thrills by day, fright by night.
The Final Freak Out (Silver Star Carousel Stage): There's a party going on at the Star Mall Fear Factory, as all your neighborhood ghouls, zombies, and goblins bring Dr. Fright to life every evening at park closing. Once materialized, Dr. Fright gets the house a-rockin' with a closing spectacular featuring music from the Disco Divas and Funk Bands of the 80s. Top this off with special effects and a cast of zombies and you're sure to be dancing in the streets this Fright Fest.
Dead Man's Party (Silver Star Carousel Stage and Dead End... Blood Alley Portal): All of our Six Flags zombies and ghouls gather in a frightfully entertaining spooktacular musical and dance salute to the King of Pop.
Dead & Local (Back Porch Stage): Guests can check out great live music from local artists.
Is "Fright Fest" Kid-Friendly?
There are plenty of kid-friendly activities including a costume contest, karaoke, and a trick or treat trail featuring Bugs Bunny and all of his friends. Fun can be found at every corner, no matter the age of the ghoul or goblin. Six Flags Over Texas beginning Friday, September 30, and ending Sunday, October, 30. This year, Fright Fest is now bigger and scarier than ever! Park hours during this event will vary; please visit sixflags.com for more information. Location
