Six Flags Great America kicks off its 22^nd season of Fright Fest starting Sept. 29 and running weekends throughout October when the theme park transforms into a 100-acre, fog-filled land of shadows, ghosts and ghouls that offers thrills by day and fright by night. Fright Fest eturns this season with five haunted attractions, eight horrific scare zones, eight hair-raising shows and nearly 200 monsters throughout the park. Guests can also enjoy all of their favorite rides with an eerie makeover.
