Fright Fest returns at Six Flags Magic Mountain

We attended as media to facilitate this post

​Fright Fest at Magic Mountain will feature six haunted mazes, eight scare zones and three live shows on 24 select nights from Sept. 11 to Oct. 31.

Six Flags Magic Mountain will once again unleash legions of demons, ghouls and crazed lunatics for Fright Fest 2021 as the Halloween haunted event returns to the Valencia amusement park after taking a break due to COVID in  2020.

Fright Fest Express

I recommend upgrading your ticket to the Fright Fest Express so you can walk the mazes without waiting in long lines. We literally waited no longer than 10 min for each maze with the Fright Pass. If you are there to ride roller coasters to see the Coasters in the Dark remember that Six Flags Magic Mountain turns off the lights on Twisted Colossus, Viper, X2, Scream, Goliath and Apocalypse for a thrilling roller coaster ride in the dark. I recommend getting the Flash Pass to avoid long lines for the rides.
