What Kind of Scary Attractions Can Visitors Expect?
Tons! To begin with, rides will be running while in the dark to up the spooky factor. There are also multiple “Haunt Zones” where creepy creatures will jump out and scare you. There are also five different shows of varying scare levels running each day. Additionally, there are five premium haunted mazes to explore for an extra fee.
How Much Does Six Flags Fright Fest Cost?
A standard daily ticket purchased online is $39. With the added Haunted Maze Pass, the ticket is $65. Pre-ordering tickets online will save you some money, since ticket prices are more expensive at the gate. Complete ticket details can be found at SixFlags.com/NewEngland.
