Free Tickets and Cockroach Eating at Fright Fest
Posted October 5, 2011 by Mike SAlrighty! This coming weekend marks Fright Fest being unleashed at every Six Flags in the country. More than just the country, actually, cause it also opens up in Canada at La Ronde. (Speaking of La Ronde, if you’re a fan of the park or even just a fan of horror movies, you gotta check this out.) And, if you do plan on heading to Fright Fest this weekend, bring a camera! It might mean a couple free 2012 tickets for you.
Starting this weekend, we’ll be collecting your best photos from the park over on our Fright Fest site. Upload your scariest shot and, if it’s considered one of the best, we’ll give you a couple free tickets to come on back. Use it to get your first rides on one of our new 2012 attractions or, if you’re an Over Texas, Fiesta Texas or Discovery Kingdom fan, come use it in December at Holiday in the Park. The winning photos will be hand selected by our expect team of professional art critics. (Full disclosure – we’re not really art critics. We’ll just be choosing the Fright Fest shots that give us the worst nightmares. Keep em scary, guys.)
And, while you’ve got your camera out this weekend you might want to get a few shots of the Cockroach Eating Contests happening in the parks. Yes – Cockroach. Eating. Contests. As in eating disgusting insects competitively. I imagine there’ll be some killer prizes for the winners but, in a cockroach-eating contest, does anyone really win anyways? If you’re braver than me you can register in the park; first come first served. Here’s hoping first prize is some mouthwash.
Fright Fest is also teaming up with Sega® to bring you demos of both Rise of Nightmares on XBOX 360™ with Kinect™ and House of the Dead: Overkill™ for PS3. (House of the Dead isn’t even in stores yet so you’ll literally be one of the first to try it out.) These games are both hard “M”s though so game play doesn’t start till after 5pm when the kids go home. You’ll also need to be at least 17 to play. (And don’t try any funny business, 15-year-olds-that-are-creepily-able-to-grow-mustaches-prematurely. We can still tell.)
So there you have it. Come for the coasters and haunted houses and maybe leave with a few ticket-winning photos and cockroach breath. Not a bad way to spend the weekend. Come to think of it, it’s not a bad way to spend the following weekend, too. Ya know what, let’s just say we’ll see you all of October.
