AUSTELL, Ga. — It's the most wonderful time for fear! Six Flags Over Georgia is celebrating 30 chilling years of its annual Fright Fest, which features haunted houses, spooky live shows and nighttime roller coaster rides.
It starts on September 14 and ends on November 3. The 20-day event promises a scary, good time and something for people of all ages.
“As we celebrate 30 years of spine-chilling thrills, we’re excited to present an expansive lineup of immersive haunted experiences, including mazes inspired by two iconic horror brands, which will leave guests screaming for more," said General Manager Greg Fuller.
This year, in addition to Fright Fest, the park will bring back its family-friendly daytime fall festival, Kids Boo Fest, as well as an Oktoberfest food and beverage festival on weekends.
Plus, on September 21 and 22 only, the park will bring Beetlejuice to life in an end-of-day celebration. The one-of-a-kind event will transform the sky with a 10-minute show featuring eight custom animations synced with the iconic Beetlejuice theme music.
Park officials said they have "reimagined" one of their haunted houses for the milestone year and added a new live show to their Fright Fest lineup.
Here's a complete list of the park's new and returning attractions, events and shows:
New attractions, events and shows

- Crimson Vein: Experience a harrowing descent into a post-apocalyptic nightmare, where the world as you know it has been irrevocably shattered. In this forsaken future, the ravages of nuclear war have left the earth a desolate wasteland ruled by a group of feral, radiation-plagued vampires driven by an insatiable thirst for human blood.
