Six Flags Magic Mountain Announces New Scream Break Special Haunt Event

Six Flags Magic Mountain, Valencia, CA

I know that it seems like Halloween has taken over much of the year based on the distribution of updates that we’ve made over the past couple of years, but it’s not just us! Spooky things have definitely been spreading beyond the usual September and October timeline, and Six Flags Magic Mountain is the latest to join the trend! Among their Spring Break festivities—which include a new Tacos & Beer Fest and double ride, food, and merch days—Magic Mountain is bringing a condensed version of Fright Fest to spring breakers in the form of a separately ticketed, three hour event running Fridays through Sundays from March 18 through April 16.

Featuring two mazes and three scare zones, Scream Break is definitely not the regular fall event, and information remains outstanding on which mazes and zones will be featured (and whether they’ll be duplicates of Fright Fest or unique—the mazes will most likely be repeats because Magic Mountain’s Fright Fest mazes are left up year-round). But it is exciting information for haunt fiends who want a taste of Halloween during the complete opposite time of year!

From the press release:
