Six Flags to Debut New Fright Fest® Haunted
Attractions Based on New Horror Movie Hell Fest
Terrifying New Scares Ramp up the Fear Factor at Three Theme Parks This Fall
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas — August 21, 2018 — Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE:
SIX), the world’s largest regional theme park company and CBS Films
today announced an exclusive national partnership to provide Six Flags
guests with a unique experience in support of CBS Films and Lionsgate’s
latest horror movie release, Hell Fest,
in theaters Friday, September 28, 2018.
In collaboration with Hell Fest creators,
Six Flags and CBS Films are launching new haunted attractions based on
the movie at three Six Flags theme parks this Fright Fest. The company’s
industry leading entertainment
teams at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA, Six Flags Great
Adventure in Jackson, NJ and Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL will
transform haunted mazes into real life replicas of the movie’s most
unnerving, goriest and most epic scenes.
“Our guests visit Fright Fest to
experience the scariest and most haunting attractions in North America.
Partnering with CBS Films adds a new, completely immersive in-park
experience to our existing lineup and will take this
year’s event to a whole new level of fear,” said Vice President of
North America Strategic Marketing & Partnerships Stephanie Borges.
Guests who are brave enough to enter will walk through the Devil’s Mouth into The Hell Fest Maze and venture through a number of rooms, each themed to depict scenes straight from the movie including:
· The Mausoleum, an increasingly narrow corridor that forces guests to feel
the touch of death;
· The Mask Room a haunting room filled with floating white faces that could spring
to life when visitors least expect it;
· The Doll Room, filled with dolls straight out of the worst nightmares; and
· The Torture Chamber, where the bodies of the disassembled, dissected and
disemboweled wish to share their horrific ending.
Room by room, guests must find their way out, or risk being trapped by “The Other,” the movie’s deranged antagonist.
“Fall means Halloween and for millions
of people, Halloween means Fright Fest at their favorite Six Flags theme
park,” commented the film’s director Gregory Plotkin, who continued,
“We are excited for Six Flags patrons to have
the unique opportunity to step inside the terrifying world of ‘Hell
Fest.’ I can’t wait to hear the screams and laughter!”
Six Flags will also promote the movie’s
nationwide release through Six Flags Media Networks platforms; including
Nielsen measured Six Flags TV.
Fright Fest runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from September 15 through October 31. Operating schedules vary by park. For more information, visit www.sixflags.com.
