The time is upon us when Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington is trading summer thrills for haunted mazes, trick-or-treating and steins as its fall celebrations return.<\/p>\n
From Sept. 11 through Nov. 1, there will be a slew of autumn events to check out including Fright Fest, Tricks and Treats and\u00a0Oktoberfest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fright Fest will be on select nights and will feature haunted houses, outdoor scare zones, live shows and\u00a0Halloween-themed food and beverages.<\/p>\n
The haunted houses lineup includes the new Doc\u00a0Varnum\u2019s Hybrid Hell Pit. It will be a backwoods-inspired sideshow realm that blends immersive horror, live entertainment and hybrid creatures.<\/p>\n
Another haunted house will be inspired by the Conjuring universe. Guests brave enough to enter will face Annabelle\u2019s malevolent stare, flee the Nun\u2019s unholy presence and survive the Perron farmhouse\u2019s demonic forces.<\/p>\n
Other haunted houses include “The Strangers: No Escape,” inspired by the films\u00a0The Strangers: Chapters 1 & 2; “Saw: Legacy of Terror,” inspired by the\u00a0Saw movie franchise; “EverSmile Industries presented by M&M’s,” which invites visitors to a retro-futuristic factory tour where perfection comes at a cost; and “Terror at the Polynesian Palm presented by Skittles,” which is centered around an abandoned\u00a0hotel and a mysterious island legend, and offers new and enhanced scares.<\/p>\n
Returning scare zones include Outlaw\u2019s Revenge, Forsaken Fairgrounds, The Last Harvest and The Plague, along with a new\u00a0D\u00eda de los Muertos scare zone in the park’s Mexico section.<\/p>\n
This year will also have the debut of “Wake the Dead,”\u00a0an interactive musical mystery that allows guests to help determine the outcome of a family murder investigation through audience participation. Other shows include “The Awakening,” “The Spectral Sisters” and “Ballet de Folkl\u00f3rico: D\u00eda de los Muertos.”<\/p>\n
The family-friendly Tricks and Treats will feature Trick-or-Treat Trail, a kids\u2019 costume contest, hay bale maze, pumpkin and mask painting and Casa Magn\u00e9tica, the park’s venerable crooked house. Also planned are\u00a0a Skelebration Dance Party, the Looney Tunes\u00a0Spooktacular Dance Party and new magic performances by Mike Williams.<\/p>\n
Oktoberfest at Six Flags Over Texas will have German-inspired food and beverages, music and interactive games. Activities will include Last Stein Standing and the daily Tap\u00a0Zee Keg ceremony. Plus performances\u00a0by the Guttentag Players and the \u00dcber Oompah Band.<\/p>\n
