Six Flags will charge for haunted houses at the Legacy Cedar Fair this Halloween, requiring a new $10–$20 Haunted Attractions Pass for mazes—and an extra $15 for The Conjuring house. Even Gold Pass holders must pay, sparking backlash from fans who see it as a bait-and-switch. Philip and Scott debate whether this is a necessary step toward higher-quality haunts or a misstep that erodes trust. It appears that Six Flags is moving to the 'separately ticketed' model of Knott's Scary Farm instead of the 'mix-in' model of legacy Cedar Fair parks. But as Six Flags attempts to unify its Halloween portfolio - Will Guests Pay for What They Once Got Free? And while the company is still bleeding cash, where will the capital come from to bring up the quality of the Halloween events? Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.
