Six Flags Over Georgia Announces All-New HALLOWFEST

The Thrill Capital of the South, Six Flags Over Georgia, leads the way for Halloween thrills and chills with a new event for the entire family—HALLOWFEST.  The event will feature Thrills by Day with plenty of family-friendly activities and Chills by Night with rides on monster coasters…in the dark and haunting Halloween theming throughout the parks. 

HALLOWFEST will kick off September 19 and operate on weekends through November 1, 2020. The park will be open from 1-9 p.m. with limited capacity to prevent overcrowding on Saturdays and Sundays. Reservations will be required and slots are expected to fill up quickly. The company’s comprehensive and ongoing safety protocols will be in effect for the entire run of the event.  

During daylight hours, families and young thrill-seekers will experience five family-friendly Fair Zones of HALLOWFEST Thrills by Day including:

• Trick-or-Treat individually packaged candy and treats offered throughout the park;
• Kids’ spooky magic shows, featuring verbal interaction only and no physical contact;
• Five amusing Fair Zones with not-so-scary witches, sweet scarecrows, happy pirates, and comedic clowns.
• Family-friendly Halloween stories while enjoying a scenic ride along the Six Flags Railroad;
• Kid-centric games and activities among cornstalk and hay bale festive decor;
• Halloween-themed specialty treats, like gooey caramel apples and funnel cakes made, available for purchase; and
• Exclusive HALLOWFEST selfie stations for kids and families to capture favorite fright-filled photos.

For Chills by Night after 6 p.m., all attractions take a wicked turn in the wide-open midways and feature:

• Frightening witches, shocking scarecrows, ghastly pirates, dreadful clowns and putrid pumpkins in five terrifying Scare Zones;
• Creepy fog, eerie lighting and sinister music for nighttime scares and chills;
• Six Flags’ signature collection of world-class roller coasters ramping up the fear factor for a heart-pounding HALLOWFEST experience as guests fly through the air at high speeds in total darkness on popular classics like Goliath, Dare Devil Dive and Blue Hawk. Experience brand-new thrills CATWOMAM WHIP and POISION IVY TOXIC SPIN in a freshly reimagined GOTHAM CITY; and
• The Six Flags Railroad conductors revealing haunted stories as the sun goes down along the dark wooded trail.
