Six Flags Thrills by Day
During the day for Thrills by Day, the park will have a festive Fall-Harvest feel, with lots of friendly ghosts and ghouls to provide kids of all ages with tons of fun. There are a total of seven family friendly attractions and four all-new kid attractions including Hilltop Gardens Maze, Monster Mash Bash, Kids Halloween Dance Party and Stage Fright-featuring the magic of Joe Romano. Little guests under 54 inches are invited to enjoy the park in costume and take part in the Halloween Kids Costume Contest held each Saturday and Sunday at 4:30 p.m.
When the clock strikes 6 p.m. the park goes dark – as in creepy, crawly, scary dark. Beware of the Awakening, which launches Fright by Night and transforms the park into a wicked hunting ground for the undead. This year Fright by Night boasts more than thirteen attractions with six all-new shows and events; Blood Factory, The Ravage: Stunt Massacre, Toxic Fallout, Road Rage Cage, Stage Fright, and Zombieville. Coming back by popular demand are Blackwoods Bloodshed, Dead Man’s Party, Bridge of Terror, Terror Twister, Ghost Town, Carn-EVIL and Roach Wheel of Horror.
“Fright Fest is one of our favorite productions of the year,” said David Major, entertainment manager for Six Flags America. “We’re able to showcase the high-level of talent at Six Flags America and provide our guests with the ultimate scare experience. Since May we’ve been in pre-production for 20-plus shows and events. Blood Factory, this year’s major extreme new scare, is a steam punk themed, turn of the century attraction which will take terror to an all new level.”
Back for a second season is the cockroach eating contest. On Saturday, Oct. 13 and 27 at 5:45 p.m. three lucky guests will spin the Roach Wheel of Horror and eat between one to four live Madagascar hissing cockroaches. Those who can choke down the roaches within the designated time will win a variety of prizes, maybe even a 2013 Season Pass.
“This year’s cockroach eating contest will be hosted by Pat LoJack and his lovey assistant Vanna Pyre,” said Linda Jensen, marketing director for Six Flags America. “Guests will be allowed to dress up their cockroaches with a variety of toppers like whipped cream or chocolate syrup.”
Fright Fest opens Saturday, Sept. 29 and runs every Saturday and Sunday until Oct. 28 with special Friday openings on Oct. 19 and 26 at 5 p.m. for Fright by Night only. Many of the Fright by Night events are rated Three Skulls and are not recommended for guests under 13-years old.
