We visited this year’s event with hosted admission. Here’s our honest thoughts on what we thought about the haunted house mazes at 2025 Fright Fest at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

Maze Ranking

We have a loose ranking of all the haunted house mazes this year to help you prioritize your plan of attack. Keep in mind, experiences vary WILDLY depending on the luck of the flow.

Inside the Mazes

Here’s a closer look at each of the experiences including our thoughts on how each one ranks this year.

Truth or Dare

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

REVIEW: This is by far the most clever of the mazes offered in the park. Instead of relying on tried and true gore and jump scares, this is a surreal dream — or nightmare that you cannot escape. Surreal and creepy, this is a great one.

SYNOPSIS: The unknown lurking around every corner will leave you questioning your every move in a warped game of Truth or Dare. We double dare you to play.

Willoughby’s Resurrected

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

REVIEW: Probably the most impressive maze in terms of set design and scenics. You’re transported right into creepy and well-crafted world.

SYNOPSIS: The Willoughby’s family mansion tale unfolds before your eyes at this once-affluent Victorian mansion that has become a haven to evil spirits.

Condemned Forever Damned

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃⚫

REVIEW: Sometimes mazes can feel really routine and this one breaks that old making you walk through tight spaces, crouching to get through, on top of regular fun scares.

SYNOPSIS: Dare to go inside this dilapidated home where the walls are alive with souls who unleash their fury.

Vault 666

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃⚫⚫

REVIEW: This one is not as luxe as some of the other mazes but the vibes here are ominous and unnerving. Lots of great scares in here.

SYNOPSIS: Demonic relics and obsolete oddities are locked in an abandoned vault in this dark and sinister antique shop, with possessions many die to have. Will you make it out alive?

Carnage (NEW)

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃⚫⚫

REVIEW: With the newbie for this year could have ranked a little higher for us. Maybe it was just our walkthrough but while we loved the colorful splashes of color here, it felt like there were a lot of empty spaces here making some of the scares less impacful.

SYNOPSIS: Enter the chaotic fortress of the original true villain, CARNAGE. This is your origin story, your path to becoming a disciple of the most villainous clown in a city under siege. With every step you take, you become possessed with the evil around you. If you survive, let your darkness forever rage on for CARNAGE.

Trick ‘r Treat

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃⚫⚫

REVIEW: This is a criminally underrated cult hit for the Halloween season and the maze does a serviceable job of bringing the twisted and iconic visuals to life but scares can be hit or miss from the pint-sized creeper.

SYNOPSIS: Based on the darkly comic Halloween classic: enter into a world where tricks dominate treats, and learn the season’s rules before setting out into this twisted Candy Trail nightmare. This spine-chilling experience will test your bravery and make you think twice before trick-or-treating again.

The Conjuring Universe

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃⚫⚫

REVIEW: This one is a mixed bag in more ways than one. We’ve got a taste of every creep, demon and ghoulie from the franchise and it’s a good time with some great scares.

SYNOPSIS: Based on New Line Cinema’s iconic horror franchise: enter the Warrens’ occult museum where their most terrifying cases await. Face Annabelle’s malevolent stare, flee from The Nun’s unholy presence, and survive the Perron farmhouse’s demonic forces. Each cursed artifact awakens ancient evil. Tonight, you’re not just observing their cases; you’ve become part of them.

SAW: Legacy of Terror

RATING: 🎃🎃⚫⚫⚫

REVIEW: This is effective at recreating the sheer terror of the traps inflicted on the poor victims but this IP has always felt like a tough one to to translate into a successful maze.

SYNOPSIS: Step into the world of SAW with a diabolical experience honoring the franchise’s legacy of terror by plunging into the depths of Jigsaw’s twisted mind. Traverse iconic scenes inspired by the films and come face to face with some of John Kramer’s most diabolical contraptions before time runs out.
