Enjoying a ride at Fright Fest with a monster was a screaming young girl

Fright Fest is a famous attraction at six flags theme park in Jackson, New Jersey. The Fright Fest season is only from September 16th to October 31st (Only for the fall season.)

Fright Fest is  a little different than the regular Six Flags season. It’s a lot more scarier, darker, and spookier. For one they have their employees dress up as scary creatures and wear tons of makeup. They disguise themselves into hideous creatures to scare you. Well let me tell you, what they do is definitely going to scare you.

Usually people go because they like to have a little bit of a scare. The people that go usually go because they like to be scared. My suggestion is that if you don’t like scary things or you don’t like to be scared or frightened I don’t think you should go. Maybe you should try the regular season in the spring.

Not only do they dress up in frightening and scary costumes, but they also get very close to you. When you’re walking to the ride or just strolling through the park they can come up to you and scare you. Touching you getting in your face they can do all of that. I will admit when they started coming close to me I was a little scared. The best thing to do in the situation is to remain calm. When the actors see you scared they are more likely to come up to you and scare you. They want to get you scared and run away. It’s what they do.

I actually really enjoyed the time I spent at Fright Fest all together. I loved how they transformed the park. I usually go in the spring and it’s just the normal theme park. But when I walked in and saw the park all decorated it surprised me. I never would have thought that they would decorate the whole park. I thought it looked great by the way.

During the day it was nice and calm and normal just like how it usually is. But then when the it got dark everything got scary. The experience I had was a lot of fun and scary. If you are thinking of going but aren’t sure because you are too scared I recommend going. Once you get passed being paranoid about all of the other scary people and costumes it really is fun.

Fright Fest is truly a fun time for anyone you go with. I suggest going because it is so worth it. It was especially fun because getting scared actually made it more exciting and fun then just going to go on the rides. Definitely an exciting and fun experience.
