This past weekend, my boys and I had the opportunity to visit Six Flags and be a part of a Scavenger "Haunt" throughout the park as part of their kick off to Fright Fest! Thankfully, they gave us the opportunity to be a part of the Thrills By Day which were much less scary and a whole lot family-friendly! My boys and I had a great time!
We spent a good part of our time there in Bugs Bunny World, enjoying rides that we could all take part in and enjoy together. And since swinging on the swingset now turns my stomach upside-down, I loved the rides as much as they did! Our favorite....the Dahlonega Mine Train! What fun that was! My boys may have been nervous at first, but they were laughing and smiling all the way through, screaming about how much fun they were having! 
Children 12 and under are encouraged to wear a family-friendly costume to the park and take part in a costume contest with their favorite Looney Tunes friends. There's also plenty of trick-or-treating to do with the friendly witches, pirates, and princesses scattered throughout Bugs Bunny World! They can also enjoy listening to "spooky" stories at the Bugs Bunny Theater.
Additional activities for families to enjoy together include a harvest festival, arts and crafts, pumpkin painting, and more. 
We were promptly out of the park at 6 PM when the monsters were due to come out! I will warn you, though, that the train that goes around the park is a "Terror Train" starting at 4 PM. We found this out the hard way when we boarded the train at 4:30 PM for a nice ride around the park only to be jumping off the train early when costumed monsters and zombies made their appearance and were doing their best to scare us. Yeah, they don't call it Fright Fest for nothing! Yikes!
But, if you're into the scary scene, there is #NothingScarier than Six Flags Over Georgia’s 23 spine-chilling haunted attractions awaiting those who dare to enter the largest Fright Fest® event in park history. The annual ghostly experience kicked off on September 26 with nearly 400 zombies and monsters lurking in the dark of night through 11 all-new creepy scare zones, five petrifying mazes and seven terrifying shows.
In 2015, the #NothingScarier Fright Fest features more than a dozen all-new themed attractions, including:
- The Mourning, a scare zone at the front of the park, where the dead walk and vultures feast;
- Southern Cemetery, a scare zone, where evil spirits awaken the dead and offer the chance to indulge in one of Miss Dixie’s all-new Evil Spirited drinks;
- Big Top Terror, a scare zone, with clowns of all shapes and sizes, along with sinister laughs in the all-new Curtain Chaos Maze and Tunnel of Blood;
- Dr. Fright’s Frightorium 3-D, a haunted indoor maze, where an evil doctor is experimenting on his patients, trying to bring his wife and daughter back from the dead;
- Bayou Bloodlust, a haunted outdoor maze through a swamp infested with evil voodoo priestess and her army of zombies and horrid creatures;
- Miss Dixie’s Awakening, a new live show inside of Miss Dixie’s Evil Spirits with drinks, music and dead entertainment;
- Fear Riders, a scare zone, featuring an infectious group of vampire bikers who can’t wait to sink their fangs into those who stand in their roadway; and
- Fright Faced, a new interactive scare zone where park guests can take photos with the zombies, monsters and other scare actors lurking in their path, and get frightened by other attractions.
The event’s signature ghostly attractions are also back this year including Terror Train, The Last Ride and Dr. Fright’s Dead Man’s Party at the Crystal Pistol Music Hall, along with all of the guest-favorite rides including THE JOKER Chaos Coaster, Goliath, BATMAN™: The Ride, SUPERMAN™: Ultimate Flight and more.
Fright Fest begins each night with The Uprising, where bloodthirsty monsters are released into the dark of night, on the steps of the historic Crystal Pistol Music Hall.
