Six Flags Fright Fest features spine-tingling fun for all who dare to visit. During the month-long Halloween celebration, Six Flags theme parks are transformed into spooky Family by Day, Fright by Night entertainment destinations. Trick-or-Treat trails, hay rides and kooky monster shows delight the little ones but as the sun goes down, the fear factor goes up with haunted mansions, terror train rides and nightmarish ghouls. Individuals must be 18 or older to participate in hands-on demos. Guests can learn more about the event by visiting http://xboxgearsofwar.onlinepromo.com.
