Yep. Six Flags announced it on Tuesday & updated the website. However, this is NOT the first time they've featured IP's at Fright Fest. Remember, they had Suicide Squad the past 2 years (WB's testing the DC waters for "Horror Made Here"). Let's not forget they had an Alice Cooper maze long before HHN Hollywood did!
This means Fright Fest will have 3 NEW mazes & 2 NEW scarezones, 1 returning scarezone. This announcement was a huge surprise to me, but it makes sense & does fit Fright Fest better than HHN. I knew something didn't feel right about "Vault 666" not returning, so now we know THIS is its replacement. (Really wish they'd use one of the old maze locations in the back by DC Universe).
Also, there will be a HELL FEST panel at ScareLA this weekend, so its possible they might tease something about bringing the movie to life at Six Flags.
Viper is now closed.
@Chris Galindo Has the refurb officially started?
This is what Viper currently looks like as of Tuesday. I do know a group of a few Viper ride ops took a trip up to Discovery Kingdom recently sooo.... hmm... From the rumor mill... new chain, paint, etc.. Its still too early to guess which area of the park they will revamp next, but I'm sure this Mexican Viper/X2 area is possible.
Anyway, here is a brief update from this past Tuesday (August 21st)
^The dining/seating area for Johnny Rockets on the left (DC Universe) side is being worked on
^The tables have been relocated to the CraZanity side..
^The giant gate/wall is actually themed complete with barbwire across the top, so even walled off, it will still keep its theme. (for now)
DIRT PORN
^As you can see.... its a very big space with a lot of dirt! The kids will have hours of fun building castles in 115 degree heat!
Now for something old...
^This is one of two beautiful gothic style columns left abandoned in the park (like the Cyclone Bay sign even though the land hasn't existed in years & the monorail track). This was part of the entrance into the old Batman stunt show arena where "Battle For Metropolis" currently takes up residence.
