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 disembark one of the beasts fulfill some primal urge lurking deep within our psyches. The Six Flags parks provide safe havens for us to conquer our demons. And at Halloween time, the Fright Fest events at Six Flags parks give us even more demons to conquer.
Things to know
- What: 2009 Fright Fest Halloween events with haunted mazes, costumed ghouls, and other themed fun. Most of Six Flags' roller coasters and non-water rides will be operating during the Fright Fest events.
