Bugs Says "Boo!"

Tuesday September 16, 2003
Fear is a big part of Six Flags' appeal. Ultimately, it's all about fun. But that sense of apprehension we get when we stare up at one of Six Flags' diabolical roller coasters, and the feeling of mastery we experience when we board one of the beasts fulfills some primal urge lurking deep within our psyches. The Six Flags theme parks provide safe havens for us to conquer our demons. And at Halloween time, the Fright Fest events at Six Flags parks, with their haunted houses, mazes, shows, and themed rides, give us even more demons to conquer.
