It’s a nice amusement park overall, but a lot of attractions were closed—either for maintenance or due to the weather—which was pretty disappointing. They have about eight thrill rides, but only a couple of them were actually exciting or fun. Some rides also sounded quite rusty.
The lines weren’t too bad; I waited around 15 minutes for most rides, which wasn’t bad at all. Restrooms are located all around the park, but the signs are very small, so they were a bit hard to find.
The restaurant, however, was not good. The food and drinks were both very expensive. Parking was also terrible—they have plenty of spaces, but they charge $35 per car, and the entrance to the parking lot only has a single lane. Even if you arrive early in the morning, expect a long line just to get in.
One of the roller coasters even stopped while it was going up, and we got stuck for a few minutes. There was no announcement, and they eventually shut it down, which was pretty nerve-racking.
Also, note that their operating hours change almost every weekend, so make sure to check the schedule on their website before visiting. I originally planned to spend the whole day there, but I ended up leaving after about four or five hours because I had already seen everything

Very nice park with a good amount of rides . Lines moved pretty decently. Layout of this park was a pretty easy to navigate, though there was a surprising amount of downhill / uphill walking depending on area your heading to. All staff was polite and seemed to be doing their best at their jobs . We would visit again if in the area!

We went there during the Fright Fest. There a lot of people at night and they closed at 11 pm. We had good time. There were a long line in the most of the rides about 20-30 minutes, but really worth it to wait. The management of the tickets was a little bit weird during Halloween but its okay. Halloween made the place more interesting with all the lighting, decorations and musics.

⭐️⭐️⭐️½ (3.5/5)
Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Georgia delivers on its promise of combining thrilling coasters with creepy vibes, making it a fantastic experience for a long, affordable date night. While the park’s operational constraints mean it doesn't offer the pure, relentless immersion of a premier haunt, the 110% effort from the cast and the quality of the top houses and scare zones easily make this event worth the ticket.
Attractions & Scares (Houses) - The house lineup was variable, offering some genuine high points that delivered on their IP, but overall quality was mixed. The Conjuring easily took the #1 spot, capitalizing on the killer IP by featuring almost every major monster from the film series, including the recent Last Rites. The combination of stilt walkers and giant puppetry made this a visually massive experience worth the lengthy wait. Camp Slasher was a solid, mid-tier house, playing off Friday the 13th vibes and checking all the boxes for the genre—though most of the jump scares came from the campers rather than the slasher. Carnival of Chaos and Saw were solid mid-tier choices as well. At the bottom, Nyctophobia fell flat; while the fear-of-the-dark concept is sound, the execution was too short (under three minutes) and needs more punch.
Atmosphere & Immersion The biggest atmospheric hurdle is that the park remains open to all guests, which naturally breaks the immersion and limits the actors' intensity due to the presence of children. However, the park excels at creepily themed décor, and the Scare Zone actors are the real stars, compensating for the broken immersion. The Rotted Ones was eye candy with fantastic photo ops and visuals, while Disciples of the Beast hosted some of the best actors in the park, led by an amazing stilt actor playing the Beast.
Costumes & Effects The quality here is variable, reflecting the scale of the theme park event, but the hits were spectacular. The houses, particularly The Conjuring, achieved deep, cinematic detail with phenomenal stilt work and large-scale puppetry that rivaled the best dedicated haunts. Prosthetics and detailed looks of the actors in scare zones provided stunning photo ops and broad-stroke visual flair, serving as a reliable highlight of the event.
Scareactors & Energy We have to commend the entire cast for giving 110% effort while walking a difficult tightrope—scaring adults while catering to all the kids still in the park. Despite the restrictions, the actors were friendly, accommodating, and delivered sharp scares when appropriate. Positive interactions, like the security guard wishing us a safe return from Camp Slasher, added a touch of character and charm to the night. Strong energy was visible across all scare zones.
Staff & Guest Experience The shows add good variety: Dr. Frights Dead Man's Party is fun but not elite, while Nightshades is a killer cover band that puts on a great show (despite the poor venue flow). Food is overpriced (standard park issue), but the wings at JB's were good, even if the fries were ruined by being covered in the Teriyaki sauce. The overall organization is what you expect from Six Flags: efficient lines for rides, clear directions, and dedicated staff.
HauntNighters Takeaway: Fright Fest is an ideal date night for couples who are season pass holders or prioritize value and diversity. It’s essentially half the cost of a premier event like Halloween Horror Nights, and the ability to ride amazing coasters like Superman (amazing at night) and Goliath (their #1 for a reason) breaks up the haunting perfectly. Set your scare intensity expectations lower than a dedicated haunt, but know you’ll get a full night of fun, thrills, and creepy photo opportunities.
Final Verdict Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Georgia is a fun, high-value, and well-executed event. While the constant activity of the park prevents true immersion, the strength of the top houses, the excellence of the Scare Zones, and the pure thrill of night rides make this a uniquely enjoyable experience. It's a great twist on a traditional date night.

Went here on a Saturday in September around 4pm. The park was half empty. Most rides had little or no wait. No need for fast passes for those. The Halloween stuff was also out. The haunted houses were varied really good. The new conjuring universe was the highlight. The actors scaring people around the park did a great job. It was hilarious seeing people freak out and run.
