Scare Zones: Horror Around Every Corner

The terror doesn't stop at the haunted mazes. Unlike traditional haunted houses, Fright Fest brings the scares directly into the park through immersive scare zones where monsters roam freely throughout the night.

As you explore Six Flags Over Georgia this fall, you'll encounter twisted carnivals, sinister cults, and horrifying surprises. These scare zones help make Fright Fest one of the most immersive Halloween events near Atlanta.

Featured scare zones include:

  • Dreadwell Brothers Carnival of Curiosities
  • Nevermore
  • Disciples of the Beast
  • Rockville Festival of Fright
  • The Rotted Ones

Keep your eyes open. You never know what may be lurking around the next corner.

Nighttime Thrills

One of the things that makes Fright Fest unique among Atlanta Halloween attractions is the opportunity to experience world-class roller coasters after dark.

Take on iconic rides like Goliath, Georgia Scorcher, and Dare Devil Dive surrounded by fog, dramatic lighting, and the eerie atmosphere of Halloween. For many guests, nighttime rides are just as memorable as the haunted attractions themselves.

If you're looking for thrilling things to do in Atlanta during the fall season, Fright Fest offers a one-of-a-kind combination of roller coasters and horror experiences.

Important: Kid-friendly attractions in Bugs Bunny BoomTown and DC Super Friends close nightly at 7:00 PM and do not operate during Fright Fest.

Live Entertainment & Shows

  • The Awakening: Each evening begins as creatures emerge from the darkness in this thrilling opening spectacle at the Dare Devil Dive Stage.
  • Dr. Fright’s Dead Man’s Party: Dr. Fright is back for his annual Dead Man’s Party in the historic Crystal Pistol Music Hall, inviting guests to join him in an unforgettable night of eerie revelry.
