Six Flags Adds ‘Final Destination,’ ‘Blair Witch’ and Jason Mazes to Fright Fest 2026

Six Flags Fright Fest 2026 is expanding its connection to Hollywood horror with new haunted attractions inspired by “Final Destination,” “The Blair Witch Project,” Jason Voorhees and Blizzard Entertainment’s “Diablo.” Six Flags Entertainment Corporation announced the additions Monday, August 17, as part of what it calls its largest collection of licensed Halloween properties to date.

The company says 11 new haunted mazes will join its 2026 Halloween programming across participating parks, alongside returning attractions based on “The Conjuring” universe, “Saw,” “Army of the Dead,” “The Strangers” and “Trick ‘r Treat.” The announcement extends the growing overlap between major entertainment franchises and location-based seasonal attractions.

Six Flags Fright Fest 2026 adds four major franchises

Among the most recognizable additions is “Final Destination: Death’s Playground,” which is scheduled for Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey and Six Flags Magic Mountain in California. The maze draws from New Line Cinema’s long-running Final Destination franchise, transforming the series’ premise of seemingly unavoidable catastrophic accidents into an interactive attraction.

Six Flags Great Adventure has already published details for the attraction on its official Fright Fest page, where it is listed alongside another new maze, “JASON: Blood Reign.”

That Jason Voorhees attraction is headed to Six Flags Great Adventure, Kings Island and Carowinds. It takes visitors into a summer-camp setting associated with the “Friday the 13th” mythology and the broader Jason Universe initiative.

‘Blair Witch’ and ‘Diablo’ expand the lineup beyond slashers

“Blair Witch: No Signal” will appear at Six Flags Great America and Dorney Park. According to Six Flags’ August 17 announcement, the attraction will place visitors in environments inspired by the Black Hills Forest, including abandoned camps, ritual locations and the Rustin Parr House.

Six Flags Great America’s official event listing also confirms “Blair Witch: No Signal” for its 2026 season, which runs on select nights from September 19 through November 1.

The company is also moving beyond film properties with “DIABLO: The Infernal Path,” a Blizzard Entertainment collaboration planned for Kings Dominion and Cedar Point. The maze will draw from the gothic world of the “Diablo” video-game franchise and feature characters including Diablo, Lilith, Mephisto and Baal.

‘The Conjuring’ and ‘Saw’ return to multiple parks

The new properties will sit alongside several returning licensed experiences. “The Conjuring Universe” will appear at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Great Adventure, Over Texas, Fiesta Texas, Great America and Over Georgia.

A separate experience called “The Conjuring: Beyond Fear” is planned for Canada’s Wonderland, Carowinds, Cedar Point and Kings Island. “SAW: Legacy of Terror” will return at Fiesta Texas, Great America, Over Georgia and Over Texas.

Other returning properties include “The Strangers: No Escape” at Six Flags Over Texas, “Trick ‘r Treat” at Magic Mountain and “Army of the Dead” at Great Adventure.

Independent reporting has already begun confirming individual park lineups. News 12 New Jersey, for example, reported that Great Adventure will add both “JASON: Blood Reign” and “Final Destination: Death’s Playground” this fall.

Six Flags is expanding Halloween beyond haunted houses

Across the company’s portfolio, Six Flags says its broader Halloween program will include 29 new and returning licensed haunted attractions as well as 196 scare zones and live entertainment offerings. Those numbers encompass multiple seasonal brands operated across the combined Six Flags portfolio, including Fright Fest, Halloween Haunt, HalloWeekends, SCarowinds and Knott’s Scary Farm.

The company is also retaining daytime fall programming aimed at families before many parks transition toward horror-focused entertainment after dark.

Access rules vary by location. At participating Six Flags parks, haunted mazes generally require park admission plus a separate haunted-attractions pass, while Knott’s Scary Farm continues to operate as a separately ticketed event. Guests should check the individual park’s event page because attractions, dates and admission structures differ by location.

The additions make Six Flags Fright Fest 2026 another significant outlet for major film and gaming properties beyond theaters, television and consoles. For franchises such as “Final Destination,” “The Blair Witch Project” and “Friday the 13th,” the Halloween season increasingly offers another way to turn familiar fictional worlds into physical entertainment experiences.
