New Event features Halloween Thrills by Day and
Chills by Night
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, the world’s largest
regional theme park company, is ready to #halloweensafely with a
new event for the entire family—HALLOWFEST presented by
SNICKERS®. Six Flags worked in partnership with its health
and epidemiologist consultants to create a safe Halloween
experience that meets or exceeds federal, state, and local
guidelines. All haunted indoor attractions will be moved outdoors
to open air plazas and midways. Guests must make reservations to
visit, and park attendance will be carefully monitored to avoid
overcrowding and ensure safe social distancing. Six Flags is also
donating Six Flags branded masks to area school districts for every
mask purchased by park guests.

“We asked our guests, and they told us they still want to safely
celebrate Halloween with family and friends,” said Six Flags
President and CEO Mike Spanos. “Working with health advisors and
our own safety experts, we’ve created a modified version of our
popular Fright Fest event that provides lots of signature Six Flags
thrills in a safe and fun manner. We will operate HALLOWFEST the
same way we have operated our parks all summer…with mask
requirements, advance reservations, daily temperature checks for
guests and team members prior to entry, social distancing, and
enhanced sanitization measures.”
- All team members (including scare-actors), and all guests three
years and up, will be required to wear masks covering the nose and
mouth while in the parks;
- No indoor mazes, haunted houses, or indoor shows will be
operated; some haunted trails and scare zones will be moved
outdoors with social distancing strictly enforced;
- A limited number of nighttime scare-actors will always remain
at least six feet away from guests and each other;
- Guests viewing outdoor entertainment will be separated by at
least six feet;
- Props, rides, restraints, handrails, and all dining and
restroom facilities will be cleaned and sanitized regularly;
and
- Multiple hand-washing and alcohol-based hand sanitizer stations
will be located throughout the parks for guest and team member
usage.
HALLOWFEST will feature Thrills by Day, with
family-friendly activities, and Chills by Night, with rides on
monster coasters…in the dark, creepy outdoor scare zones, eerie
fog, and haunting Halloween theming throughout the parks.
HALLOWFEST will operate select weekends September through
November 1. Operating days, hours, and activities will vary by
park.
During the daylight hours, families and young thrill-seekers
will experience plenty of HALLOWFEST activities
including:
- Everyone’s favorite kids’ activity—Trick-or-Treat trails with
individually packaged candy and treats;
- Kids’ Halloween costume contests—children 8 years and under may
wear their favorite costumes to win a prize (all costumes must
accommodate safety masks);
- Spooky magic shows and storytelling will feature verbal
interaction only and no physical contact;
- Themed, kid-centric mazes will route younger guests through
cornstalk or hay bale mazes in one direction; and
- Halloween-themed specialty treats including a HALLOWFEST
Funnel Scream Cake made with SNICKERS candy, Scare-acha boneless
wings, and Candy Monster Dippin Dots with cotton candy and
chocolate-flavored dots will be available for purchase.
For Chills by Night, all indoor haunted attractions will be
reconfigured for outdoor enjoyment.
- Spine-tingling scare zones will be stationed along the
wide-open plazas and midways and will be smaller in scale to
maintain social distancing requirements;
- Creepy fog, eerie lighting, and sinister music will create the
perfect backdrop for nighttime scares and chills;
- Six Flags’ signature collection of world-class roller coasters
ramp up the fear factor for a heart-pounding HALLOWFEST
experience as guests fly through the air at high speeds in the
dark; and
- Halloween gear, including themed masks, witch headbands,
light-up devil horns, and scary apparel will be on sale, along with
guest favorite glow-in-the-dark necklaces, bracelets, and light
sticks.
During designated HALLOWFEST weekends, Six Flags parks
will donate a branded mask for every mask purchased by guests.
Masks will be donated to local schools for students or teachers in
need.
