A fun little maze but, outside of the paint scheme, I wouldn’t rank this one high, especially compared to its Discovery+ neighbor. There are several misdirects from set-pieces and actors that allow for other actors to jump out and surprise you. It was interesting and had more actors in it than the previous maze, WILLOUGHBY’S RESURRECTED. This maze used the most blacklight paint out of any of the mazes and it felt like I was walking through a Jackson Pollock painting that had been graffitied with the same set of paints. So, I didn’t even know I went through SEWER OF SOULS until I looked at my park map afterward to see what the heck I had just experienced. In fact, of the mazes I went to, this was the only one that didn’t have any signage out front. I’m not saying it’s a bad set design, but it doesn’t convey the message that I’m in a sewer. It seems like it was supposed to be an underground world of lost souls, but that confusion isn’t helped by the set design. Thoughts: I’m not sure what I got from this maze. One of my favorites of the night!ĭescription: Vanish into an underground world of lost souls and terrifying tunnels where evil oozes and creatures taunt. A good amount of screens and secret mirrors are used within, but practical sets rule this maze, especially one room that had to have featured 100 or so (fake) candles that lit the room and its ghouls. Most of the scare actors lure you to gawk at them, wondering what they are up to. It has this Disneyland Haunted Mansion feel to it as you walk from the library through the hallways, and even into a small cemetery. Instead, you are allowed to take in a lot of the decor and, of the many mazes at Six Flags Magic Mountain Fright Fest, I thought this was one of the more detailed spaces. There were plenty of actors, although the maze has few jump scares, which allows for guests to not run from one room to the next. The 2019 review made it seem like this maze required more actors to fill up the space. Thoughts: Discovery+ and their Ghostober celebration present this maze. Brought to Six Flags Magic Mountain Fright Fest by discovery+, the streaming home of Halloween. Maybe it was my timing, but the blue fogged zone had one or two scare actors working at the time, and no trace of Innocence, the iconic character that I was told to look out for from the previous 2019 review.ĭespite the scare zone not being overly exciting, I was pleasantly surprised by the two mazes atop the mountain.Ĭourtesy WILLOUGHBY’S RESURRECTED – MAZEĭescription: The haunts of Ghostober take on dark visions of spirits, haunted artifacts, and supernatural investigations gone wrong. I didn’t see the tram that takes people to the top of the hill working so I made the climb up myself and when I reached EXILE HILL, I was kind of thrown off. Seriously, the park really is against a mountain, and the area nearby features two mazes WILLOUGHBY’S RESURRECTED and SEWER OF SOULS. Thoughts: This zone is at the peak of a mountainous climb. Because of the crows, the scare actor to guest ratio made it seem like the scare zones were nearly dead, even though not all of them were.ĭescription : The dead have risen and are looking for new souls to take on this dark and sinister hill. For reference, all of the roller coasters were a 90+ minute wait. In fact, I’d say my only complaint about the night is that the park was so crowded. That meant that I knew there were demons in the area, but outside of the large statues erected near the main gate, I hardly spotted any of the scare actors among the crowds. On top of that, it is also where the Guest Relations building, which had a tremendously long line all night. The area itself also serves as an area where many kids and teens wait for their parents to pick them up. The trouble with the entrance area is that it is also the exit of the park. Thoughts: This scare zone is right near the entrance to the park and starting at 7 pm, there are demons that wander the area. (There wasn’t a 2020 version due to COVID-19.) I’ll be referencing that off and on to compare and contrast what has and hasn’t changed as well as give you my first-timer thoughts of all the mazes and scare zones.ĭescription: Welcome to Hell…be prepared for your mind and body to be taken over by the evil spirits that await you. That being said, since it is my first year attending Six Flags Magic Mountain Fright Fest, I had to rely on 2019’s review here at Nightmarish Conjurings. I’ve already seen what Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights and Knott’s Scary Farm had to offer this year in terms of scares, and have been consistently going to haunts for many years. Six Flags Magic Mountain Fright FestThis past weekend was my first time seeing Six Flags Magic Mountain Fright Fest.
