This attraction will join an extensive lineup of bone-chilling thrills, captivating live entertainment and pulse-pounding rides for an unrivaled fall adventure, with visits to more than 40 properties available with a single 2026 Six Flags Entertainment Season Pass during the exclusive MVP (Most Valuable Pass) limited-time offer.

"Our haunted mazes, scare zones, live shows and world-class rides will create unforgettable memories this fall." The Conjuring: Beyond Fear – New Interactive Attraction This new, premium attraction—unlike anything guests have experienced at a Six Flags park before— will have guests navigate iconic scenes from New Line Cinema's The Conjuring Universe to lock away cursed artifacts before supernatural chaos is unleashed. Guests will encounter legendary entities such as The Nun, The Crooked Man and The Ferryman as they race to restore order and lock Annabelle back in her secure box—or risk catastrophic consequences for the living realm. With state-of-the-art effects, screen-to-scream environments, and a series of chilling interactive challenges in an experience spanning more than 20 minutes, The Conjuring: Beyond Fear will plunge guests deeper than ever before into The Conjuring Universe. The attraction will debut in Carowinds, Cedar Point, Canada's Wonderland and Kings Island. The Conjuring: Beyond Fearexperience is a premium activity that will require an à la carte purchase or purchase of a Haunted Attractions Express Pass (park admission not included). Blockbuster Horror Comes to Life in Haunted Mazes Across North America Seven theme parks will immerse guests into an assortment of cinematic nightmares with the return of legendary horror properties The Conjuring Universe, SAW, Trick 'r Treat, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Army of the Dead, and new in 2025, The Strangers. This year's collection will feature elevated scares and enhanced visual effects for 2025. Guests will find select horrors of Hollywood at Fright Fest presented by SNICKERS® inside Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Mexico, Six Flags Over Georgia and Six Flags Over Texas. This year's attractions include:
Parks also will offer a vast catalog of haunted mazes with original themes ranging from demented clowns and fairytales-gone-wrong to possessed puppets and twisted holidays. To ensure all haunted mazes remain a premium experience, guests will have several pass options for purchase:
Guests must have a valid ticket, season pass or membership for park entry paired with a haunted attractions pass to access haunted mazes, excluding Knott's Scary Farm. California's longest running theme park Halloween event, Knott's Scary Farm, will return in 2025 and continue to be a separately ticketed event with access to all attractions (no additional fee for haunted mazes). Each park's list of attractions, maze offerings and passes will be available on its website. Scream-Inducing Scare Zones, Live Entertainment and Rides in the Dark Six Flags Entertainment parks will offer a vast array of frights in the midways as roaming scare actors take over themed scare zones. Lurking amid the large props and startling guests with jump scares, noise makers and more, street zombies will transform the pathways into a massive, outdoor haunt. Live entertainment will be found in theaters and midways featuring everything from Halloween song-and-dance shows and stunning fireworks displays to zombie parades and monster rock bands. Darkness will ratchet up the fear factor on park rides. Eerie lighting, ambient music and a thick layer of fog in the midways can transform the ride experience at night. Scare zones, entertainment and spine-chilling rides are all included with park admission at HalloweenHaunt, Fright Fest, HalloWeekends, SCarowinds and ValleyScare. Family-Focused Daytime Fall Fun Guests will find a diverse selection of new and returning daytime seasonal events and activities at 24 parks this fall.
