Six Flags St. Louis is now Mid America Adventure, and its Fright Fest 2026 runs select nights from September 12 through November 1 in Eureka, Missouri. The park’s new operator, Enchanted Parks, has posted the full lineup: four haunted houses with one new build, seven scare zones, and four shows, two of them new. Fright Fest is included with park admission, though the haunted houses need a separate wristband or maze pass. It is the park’s first Fright Fest under the new name and the last season for Love at First Fright, which ends after 32 seasons.

The haunted houses
Four haunted houses run in 2026, and each needs a separate wristband or maze pass. The new one is Gordy’s Gruesome Revenge, where Gordy of Gordy’s Pumpkin Patch is attacked by his pumpkins and seeks revenge, a candy trail by day that turns into a diabolical pumpkin patch by night. The three returning houses are Creatures of the Corn (a corn maze haunted by scarecrows stuffed with their victims), Oddball’s Funhouse (a twisted funhouse of clowns, squishy floors, and a hall of faces), and Slaughterhouse (where vengeful pigs turn the tables on their human visitors).
Scare zones
Seven scare zones run through the park, and they come with park admission. They are Dreadwood Pass (a vampire-infested town), Rottingham & Bones Graveyard (where The Undertaker hunts for souls), Sinister Clowns of the Black Top, Spider Alley, The Underground, Troll Bypass (guarded by trolls and their King), and Zombieville.
Shows and entertainment
The 2026 lineup carries four shows, two of them new. Blood Bank Cabaret is a vampire-themed bar with performers singing ghoulish tunes, and Monster Mash Bash is a concert of Halloween hits with dancers, fog, and effects. Freaks Unleashed returns, with monstertainers who perform before the Grand Witch summons them across the park. And Love at First Fright, the Jack-and-Katie-in-Witchy’s-castle production, runs for the last time in 2026.
Renamed Mid America Adventure
2026 is a transition year. The park was sold to EPR Properties in April 2026 and is now operated by Enchanted Parks, which renamed the park Mid America Adventure, a nod to its original name, Six Flags Over Mid-America, in an announcement on August 27. Fright Fest keeps its name, and the park’s website and tickets now run under Mid America Adventure. It is also the last season for Love at First Fright, which ends after 32 seasons.
Dates and passes
Fright Fest runs select nights from September 12 through November 1, 2026, in Eureka, Missouri. It is included with park admission, and a daily ticket was $40.99 online on October 8, and a ticket with the Haunted Attractions Pass was $67.99. It is also included with eligible season passes, including Enchanted Parks Legend and Hero passes, Six Flags Gold and Prestige passes purchased before April 6, and Six Flags Memberships. The park sold two tickets for the price of one through October 4, for use by October 11.
The four haunted houses need a Haunted Attractions Pass, from $27.99, or an Express Haunted Attractions Pass with a separate entrance, from $54.99. Park admission isn’t included with either pass. The houses aren’t recommended for guests under 13, and guests 16 and younger need a chaperone who is at least 21. Dates and prices for The Darkness, Creepyworld, and the rest of the state’s haunts are in my Missouri haunted houses guide.
Boo Fest, the daytime family event, runs Saturdays and Sundays through November 1 with trick-or-treat trails, the Creepy Castle walk-through, and The Smashing Lanterns rock show.
