Fright Fest 2025

[Tidal_Waver]

With the FF 25 presser immanent, what do you think Great America will announce. Back to 6 Haunted Houses? More IP based houses?

Always looking forward to Fright Fest! A little over a month until open!

It leaked a couple weeks ago. There was a test page on the Six Flags website.

Looks like that leak on PF was pretty accurate. Glad to hear we are getting a new house this year to replace Stranger Things!

Hot Take: Saw and Big Top Terror are/were the weakest houses.


Hope BTT gets replaced next year

Saw got really good reviews the past few years, and was highly regarded as one of the best houses. The maze was mostly different year over year, so I’m curious to see if it’s been reworked a 3rd time or is mostly the same.

BTT has now gone 3D, so I’d expect that to be at least somewhat different .

Stranger Things wasn’t even regarded as scary, so not surprising it’s gone and being replaced. Hopefully the Conjuring fares better with the GP this year.

Great America now has the infamous “No Boo Necklace.” So “No Mercy after 6PM” is no more.

Also, if you try to click on Great America’s Fright Fest event page right now it directs you to Six Flags Over Georgia’s Veterans Day Advert. IT dudes get it together.


Red White and Tunes does sounds pretty awesome though.

^ So someone pays $19 to have the scare actors leave him/her alone?

bruh i don't like Halloween and all but like, i don't wanna ruin people's/actors fun, i think that necklace is unnecessary, simply leave at like 5pm

Also looking at the event line up, seems like the toons are phased out from the Trick or Treat trail. which sucks, but i hope that means they're not going to be hidden anymore and instead appear in their normal meet and great area in Carousel Plaza/Hometown Square.

Yeah I agree it’s super dumb. They should just leave. Gonna be interesting to see how this goes down. $19 just seems like a waste of money.

Weird how LAFF is listed for Kids Boo-Fest but not for Fright Fest?

Does this mean LAFF is only a daytime show and Ringmaster is a nighttime show?

Yeah that’s what the current guide says:

It's rumored (on Reddit) that LAFF will be drastically shortened and the jokes cleaned up.

It was drastically shortened and not really any different in terms of jokes; Thank GOD No Witchie's Shopping Network

I think it was a bit of a rough start, but they managed to end on a high note. I really had fun with the interactive lantern. I also thought the entertainment was much better compared to last year.

Yeah the rough start seems to be going around. Past few years the Halloween themed music didnt start until after a few weeks. Also I heard a rumor that corporate forced the park to add more scare zones. As the Wretched Meadows (scarecrows) was not part of the original plan this year.

I really enjoyed Wake the Dead, even though it was recycled from Cedar Fair parks. Other than that, I didn’t notice any other new shows.

I found it funny that the Wretched Meadows van wasn't located anywhere near its actual scare zone, so that makes sense that it was a late addition. It seems like every year lately it takes them about two or three weeks past the start of Fright Fest to fully set things up.
