Matt Kaiser Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Speaking of Dead Man's Party, they've already fenced off the area and started piling parts for the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew M Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 How come they never used the Batman Stadium to house Dead Man's Party? You would think with all the seats it would be an ideal location especially for the people who wanna get there early and wait for the show that they would be able to sit down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there would more space to have Demon District as a free scarezone in Movie Town Edited August 12, 2015 by TylirB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I personally think that Dead Man's Party just isn't that type of show. Part of the experience is crowding around the stage, standing under the lights and fire, and witnessing Fright Fest fall upon the entire park with the Awakening. It's really better suited in an open environment where people are free to come and go as they please and stand wherever they want. As an added bonus, the show being out in the open causes more people to see it and watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew M Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 It's not like they would lock the gates and forbid people from leaving if they wanted to haha. Or maybe they should but I just think that not everybody wants to stand around to watch a show. I personally would love to sit down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylirB Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 It seems as if the park has trashed the upcharged "Demon District" and replaced it with a new attraction "Total Mayhem"!!! https://frightfest.sixflags.com/greatadventure/frights/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyroger Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Typical Six Flags, changing their minds after it's already announced, but sometimes it's for the good, Total Mayhem isn't a upcharge, so I guess that would be a new scare zone. I wish the website actually had a accurate summary of their fright fest attractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylirB Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 This is really cool. https://instagram.com/p/7RfIMgo2BY/I'd love too see projections this year at Fright Fest & HITP especially since Movietown is rumored to be a new scarezone so that would be a perfect place for one!

pashacar Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Wow, was just looking at last year's TRs from around this time, since I'm planning a mid-September visit. Can't believe how busy the park was on FF opening weekend last year, never thought it would be. I wonder if it'll be as bad this year (and for my own sake, hope it won't).

29yrswithaGApass Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Biggest, Scariest Fright Fest in History Unearthed at Six Flags Great Adventure JACKSON, NJ—September 8, 2015—Six Flags Great Adventure promises its biggest, scariest Fright Fest® in history this fall with 22 Halloween-themed attractions including three new haunts and four new shows. The seven-week festival that features family-friendly Thrills by Day and a zombie-filled Fright by Night begins Sept. 19 and runs weekends through Nov. 1 and includes admission to some of the world’s best and most terrifying thrill rides. “Fright Fest has become the most popular time of the year at Great Adventure, and this year’s event is our largest and scariest yet,” said Park President John Fitzgerald. “Fall is also the perfect time to enjoy our award-winning thrill rides like El Toro, Kingda Ka, Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom and the new El Diablo in the crisp night air.” By day, families can enjoy the new Spooky, Kooky Magic Show featuring the zany Doc Swan, and Just My Rottin’ Luck, a new comedic juggling and magic show. Back by popular demand, children under 12 can gather sweet treats in the Trick-or-Treat Trail and join in the fun at the Spooktacular Street Party. Families can also experience the park’s famous line-up of thrills for all ages, including the Safari Off Road Adventure, SkyScreamer, Skull Mountain and more. At 6 pm, the festival transitions to Fright by Night as 200 zombies are released into the midways during The Awakening. An array of crazy clowns, mutants and angry flesh eaters mingle among mortals throughout five themed areas known as “scare zones,” three haunted houses and four outdoor terror trails. New this season: ! Big Top Terror 3-D – This new, indoor haunted maze transports guests to a forgotten carnival trapped in the netherworld, where freaks and inbred horrors need fresh, new souls to escape. This 3-D, in-your-face adventure blurs the line between reality and imagination. ! Demon District – Ugly, twisted villains have seized control in this new scare zone. Guests must make their way through a blanket of fog, laser lights and demons running amok. ! Blood Shed – This new terror trail features half-human, half-pig mutants in a backwoods adventure through a gory slaughter farm. Nighttime shows, known as “monstertainment,” provide thrills, laugher, shock and awe. The iconic Dead Man’s Party, The Awakening and Circus of Thrills return by popular demand. New this season: ! Hypnosteria – Comic hypnotist Denny More takes guests on a journey of the mind into the realm of ridiculous with side-splitting laughter and hilarious antics. ! Doc Swan’s Sideshow of Oddities – Magician, illusionist and freak show master Doc Swan thrills and awes audiences with amazing feats of skill and superhuman strength. ! Bad Bob the Bone Butcher – Guest can journey to the Wild West where a bumbling sheriff and his deputy try to defeat the evil Bad Bob. All scare zones and monstertainment are included with park admission. Terror trails and haunted houses require an additional fee. Fright by Night is not recommended for children under 12 and those who scare easily. Spooktacular Events On Sept. 19, Six Flags hosts the Central Jersey Blood Center for its annual Fright Fest Blood Drive. Guests can donate a pint of blood to earn a free ticket to Fright Fest between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Reservations must be made by visiting www.sixflags.com/greatadventure on the Events tab. Up to 200 donors are needed and will be taken on a first call, first serve basis. Donors must be 16 years of age or older, at least 110 lbs. and in good health to donate. Six Flags will hold its final Fright Fest zombie audition and technician call Sept. 23 at 6 p.m. in the park’s Employment Center. Scare-actors and support staff are needed to fill remaining positions from the undead who roam the midways to terror trail performers and technicians. No prior acting or scare experience is necessary, just individuals with a passion for Halloween and scaring. Auditions include several fun acting exercises in a group setting. If interested, please complete the pre-employment application prior to attending the open audition, or scheduling an interview for technician positions, at www.sixflagsjobs.com Six Flags Great Adventure will host the 9th annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Oct. 4 – New Jersey’s largest 5k run/walk. The day honors breast cancer survivors, those lost, and unites a community in the fight against breast cancer. In 2014, approximately 10,000 participants and spectators turned out to support the Race for the Cure. For more information, visit www.sixflags.com/greatadventure.

Railer Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 And would you look at that, "Total Mayhem" is gone, and "Demon District" is back. It was done purposely to throw everyone off because it was "out there" already. Will remember that for future reference if something similar happens again.

Matt Kaiser Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Scare pass express-Unlimited trails,limited wait for one visit- $50 I think this is a misprint. Usually the scare pass is good all season. If you click "Buy" and go to see info, it doesn't mention anything about it being for one visit - it's described more like it used to be. (a sticker on your season pass good until the end of FF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pashacar Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Classic Six Flags. The prices and options listed are completely different from what's actually available for sale. I wonder if the options at the park will be different, especially whether they'll offer single-trail tickets.

29yrswithaGApass Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 According to SFGA's facebook page.... Are you ready to stand up to your fear at Fright Fest?
