The thought of visiting a theme park for $40 in this day and age is unheard of but with SCREAM BREAK at Six Flags Magic Mountain, the price is right — and and the monsters are ready to bite! The separately-ticketed event brings after-hour access to the park with two haunted mazes, scare zones, dance parties, and access to select attractions.

With hosted admission, we were able to check out the SCREAM BREAK 2024 taking place Fridays – Saturdays from March 22 – April 13, 2024.

What to Expect

Once again, Six Flags Scream Break has a lot going for it. First and foremost, a $40 ticket into any sort of all-night event seems increasingly likely in today’s landscape. While this is definitely not a full-fledged haunt even, it still a nice pre-show of sorts for the big frights to come later this year and price tag matches that offering.

Although parking is not included this year with admission, the event still seems like a worthy jaunt for a little haunt. We were hosted this year but we can confidently say that the event feels worth its admission price but ONLY if you do intend to ride some of the coasters during the night. There’s enough here to keep you entertained and the lines were short enough to allow repeat visits for both the attractions and the mazes — especially towards the end of the night.

It’s important to know that while you can get into the park as early as 7:30pm, Scream Break officially opens at 9pm so the time in-between is considered a haunted mixer. At the beginning of the night, the event might feel crowded but once the ropes drop and access to the full offerings are available, the event really spaces out to a less chaotic vibe.

The Mazes

There’s two mazes included as part of the event offerings. Condemned: House Party and Saw which bring a fun mix of camp and gore.
