Fright Fest 2026 dates and times
Six Flags Magic Mountain's Fright Fest page lists 2026 nights on September 18 to 20 and 25 to 27, October 2 to 4, 8 to 11, 15 to 18, 22 to 25 and 29 to 31, and November 5 to 7, from 6:30 PM to closing. The park's operating calendar also shows a Fright Fest event time on Sunday, November 1. The final nights are Thursday, October 29 through Saturday, October 31, and Thursday, November 5 through Saturday, November 7.
On the park calendar, Fright Fest event times start at 7 PM and end at 11 PM on most remaining nights, at midnight on Friday, October 30 and at 1 AM on Halloween night, Saturday, October 31. Times can change, so check the calendar for your date before you set the pickup. Every guest needs a paid admission ticket or valid pass, and the haunted mazes require a separate Haunted Attractions Pass. Bookingslane books transportation only and does not sell park tickets or passes.
Arriving at the park
Six Flags lists the park at 26101 Magic Mountain Parkway, Valencia, CA 91355. Its directions and parking pages give the address and sell Front Gate, General and Preferred parking for guests who drive, but they do not describe a separate rideshare or limousine zone. Your chauffeur follows the park's entrance signs and parking attendants on the night, and you agree on the pickup point by phone or through the live tracking link.
Plan the exit before you go in. The Fright Fest page says re-entry is not permitted after 9 PM, and the park's general rule is no re-entry within two hours of closing, with a hand stamp required to return earlier. Take what you need for the whole evening when you go in, because after 9 PM, walking out to the vehicle ends your night.
Why hourly service suits Fright Fest
Magic Mountain is about 24 to 41 miles from the pickup points listed below, so most rides take close to an hour each way, and the night ends at 11 PM or later as the park empties at closing. An hourly booking keeps the chauffeur and vehicle reserved for you from pickup until you are home, so you can stay for one more maze or leave early without rebooking. A one-way event pickup includes only 15 minutes of complimentary waiting from the scheduled time.
Count from your pickup time to your drop-off at home. From central Los Angeles, a 7 PM to 11 PM night usually fits in about 6 hours. For the later closings on October 30 and 31, add hours or plan to leave before the end, since time past the hours booked is billed at the hourly rate of the vehicle booked. For more on how hourly bookings work, see hourly chauffeur service.

Who Fright Fest is for
Six Flags says Fright Fest is not recommended for children under 13. Families with younger children can visit during Tricks and Treats, the park's daytime Halloween event from noon to 5 PM on select days, including October 30 and 31 and November 6 and 7, with a trick-or-treat trail for kids 13 and under. A chauffeur can take a family in for the afternoon and bring the group home before the evening event begins.
Fright Fest is usually a group night. Two or three friends fit a Comfort Sedan or Executive Sedan, a Luxury SUV carries up to 7 passengers and the Escalade Elite up to 6. For a bigger group, the Mercedes Sprinter Van carries up to 16 passengers, so everyone arrives and leaves together. Capacities are maximums, and an equivalent vehicle may be substituted for the class shown.
