Six Flags Magic Mountain, the undisputed “Thrill Capital of the World,” unveiled Thursday 2020 plans for the biggest-ever expansion of the park’s two signature annual events, Fright Fest in the fall and Holiday in the Park during the winter season.

The expanded event offerings will be located in the newly renovated area of the park, The Underground, where the new coaster, West Coast Racers, will soon open. Both events will be developed around the area’s urban “street vibe” and will feature exciting and uniquely themed activities and entertainment, adding an entirely different dimension to each of the park’s popular events.

This fall, the Los Angeles-based theme park will debut the highly-anticipated West Coast Racers, the world’s first dual-track racing launch coaster, featuring an immersive real time “pit stop” designed and produced by world famous West Coast Customs that will provide riders with a racing experience unlike any other. The Underground will also feature new culinary and retail offerings, along with the park’s wooden coaster, Apocalypse, which will re-open in the fall as well.

“Next year, Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park will be taken to new heights as our newest area, The Underground, will be transformed for each of our iconic events. Coupled with the one-of-a- kind ride experience of West Coast Racers, these two extremely popular Six Flags events featuring completely new immersive experiences for our guests, will be a must-do for excitement-seekers of all ages,” said Park President, Neal Thurman. “These additions, and many more around the park, will take our special event line-up to a whole new level of thrills for everyone to enjoy.”

Special event additions in the Underground include:
• New Fright Fest scare zone;
• More scary ghouls and zombies than ever to roam the streets;
• Thousands of additional twinkling lights to brighten the sky during Holiday in the Park;
and
• Live themed entertainment for both events
