Fright Fest attractions not open, Six Flags Great Adventure
Fright Fest Extreme at Six Flags Great Adventure is off to a scary start as some of the attractions have not opened during the first two weekends of the festival.
“Fright Fest Extreme has officially kicked off this month, offering chilling shows, thrilling rides in the dark, spooky scare zones, and a selection of our fan-favorite haunted mazes,” said Six Flags Great Adventure in a statement. “Due to unforeseen circumstances, some of our mazes are opening later than expected, but during our Fright Fest Extreme Preview Weekends, guests had the unique chance to enjoy all of our fall events — Kids Boo Fest, Oktoberfest, and of course, Fright Fest Extreme … with their daily park admission.
“Stay tuned to Six Flags Great Adventure’s social channels for the latest updates on park events.”
News12 New Jersey reported that some park visitors were disappointed that some of the attractions were not yet open.
Fright Fest Extreme debuted Sept. 13 and is open weekends and select nights through Sunday, Nov. 3, at the Jackson theme park.

Guests who purchase a ticket to Fright Fest Extreme will step into a world where nightmarish creatures inspired by legendary horror brands come to life with Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures’ “Saw” franchise; Netflix’s “Stranger Things” and “Army of the Dead”; Warner Bros. Discovery’s “The Conjuring,” “Annabelle” and “The Nun”; Legendary Entertainment’s “Trick ‘r Treat” and Netflix & Legendary Entertainment’s “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”
Guests are invited to prepare for the “largest, scariest and most EXTREME Fright Fest ever,” a release said, with nine haunted houses, five scare zones and four “monstertainment” shows. Classic haunted mazes will return, said Six Flags, along with the following new attractions:
- Big Top Terror — A sinister twist into the world of demented carnival freaks brings guests into a circus of horror that they can only hope to escape.
- Asylum — Angered by the tests and experiments they were subject to, the inmates of The Asylum have taken matters into their own hands.
- The Witches Reflection — Take caution when stepping into the witches’ cabin — her curse will haunt you forever.
Fright Fest Extreme will operate most Thursday through Sunday evenings. Guests can enhance their fright by upgrading to an “RIP” tour, which provides guests with a personal “gore” guide and express access to all haunted attractions.
Six Flags notes that Fright Fest is not recommended for children under 13, and those who scare easily.
For Boo Fest, which runs weekends through Nov. 3, the littlest ghouls and ghosts can trick-or-treat and enjoy a variety of family fun in Cornstalk National Park.
Oktoberfest runs weekends through Nov. 3.
