Trip Report
Written By Amusement Source

Fright Fest 2019 is right around the corner at Six Flags Over Texas, beginning on Saturday, September 21. The event will feature three all-new, and three returning, haunted houses. Four scare zones will also make their return and a few of them are receiving new props and other enhancements! Below is a progress report on general park decor, the construction of the haunted houses, and progress on scare zones throughout the park.

We have also filmed an in-depth video that features many of the new additions and improvements coming to Fright Fest 2019, including the official confirmation of the park’s haunted house and scare zone line-up.

Capital projects continue to move along at Six Flags Over Texas in rapid fashion. El Diablo, which had closed in November, was completely removed during our visit! Rancho de Pollo, along with one of the restrooms at front gate, are fully demolished. Dining transformations continue, starting with JB's Smokehouse BBQ. The restaurant has reopened with a refreshed menu, which we try out, and serving line. All American Cafe has temporarily closed as its dining experience transformation is under way and smaller stands appear to be turning into drink refill stations. Our visit didn't flow without camera and security woes, however.

It has been two months since our last visit to Six Flags Over Texas and tons of significant dining and beautification projects are under way at the park. Major work is happening near the front gate, buildings are being demolished and restaurants are undergoing full remodels. On top of this, paint refreshes continue on both Titan and Sidewinder rides. Now that the park has added an executive chef to their team, new food is rolling out at multiple dining locations. We've never seen this many projects happening at once across the park!
