Overview

  • Six Flags America has scrapped its 2025 Fright Fest, ending a Halloween tradition that dates back to the park’s 1999 rebranding.
  • Annual passholders were offered free admission to Six Flags Great Adventure’s Fright Fest but have voiced frustration over the roughly three-hour drive.
  • Kids BOO Fest will run on weekends from September 13 to November 2, featuring trick-or-treat trails, a BOO-Yeah! Parade, Not-So-Scary Storytime and a hay maze.
  • Six Flags determined that its 500-acre Bowie park and Hurricane Harbor waterpark no longer align with its long-term growth strategy and will close on November 2, 2025.
  • About 70 full-time associates will receive severance packages and continued benefits as the company winds down operations.
