New Chaperone Rule at Fright Fest (Ava)
Spooky season is nearly upon us, meaning that Fright Fest at Six Flags is starting up the heart-stopping fun again! Fright Fest 2024 opened on September 9, and will continue until November 3. The annual event was started in 1993, only straying from tradition in 2020 during COVID. The festival this year has a combined total of twenty scare zones and haunted houses. Six of the houses are all-new additions, with five of them returning from previous years. Three new scare zones have also been introduced to the collection, along with returning zones. Fright Fest enthusiasts have been swarming to Six Flags from all over to experience the bone-chilling attractions, but not everyone is excited for the event.
Earlier this summer, Six Flags announced their new chaperone policy, in which guests 15 and under cannot enter the park without a chaperone who is at least 21 years old. Many adults are applauding the park for taking this step, while some youths have taken to social media to complain about what they see as an unfair act against them. However, there has been a record of Fright Fest incidents involving juveniles, most recently the mob fight ending in the shooting of a 15-year-old boy, therefore justifying the precautions. Other than that, Six Flags Magic Mountain will be bringing us the same thrilling festival experience that we have loved for more than thirty years, and it is sure to be a spooky, unforgettable experience!
