Six Flags Adds Blair Witch Mazes at Great America and Dorney

Six Flags is adding a licensed Blair Witch haunted maze to two different Halloween brands this fall, not just another generic scare corridor.

Blair Witch: No Signal is confirmed for Dorney Park’s Halloween Haunt in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Six Flags Great America’s Fright Fest in Gurnee, Illinois.

If either park is on your September or October plan, treat the maze as a new premier-style product that may need a separate haunt pass once ticketing posts.

At a Glance
  • Product: Blair Witch: No Signal haunted mazes at two Six Flags parks.
  • Great America: Fright Fest select nights September 19 through November 1, 2026 in Gurnee, Illinois.
  • Dorney Park: Halloween Haunt select nights September 18 through October 31, 2026 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
  • Ticket note: Mazes at these events often need a Haunted Attractions Pass plus admission; confirm before you buy.
  • Action: Pick the park you can reach, lock event nights early, and do not assume one maze visit covers both brands.

What Six Flags and haunt trades confirmed

Haunted Attraction Network’s report states that Six Flags Entertainment Corporation announced new Blair Witch: No Signal haunted mazes for the 2026 Halloween season at Dorney Park’s Halloween Haunt and Six Flags Great America’s Fright Fest. The trade coverage ties the announcement to Six Flags’ public social confirmation and explains that the two mazes place the same licensed horror IP inside two different legacy Halloween brands under one parent company.

That dual-brand detail matters for travelers who still shop by park nickname. Great America markets after-dark Halloween as Fright Fest. Dorney Park markets it as Halloween Haunt. Both are Six Flags Entertainment events after the 2024 merger of legacy Six Flags and Cedar Fair parks, but the night products keep separate calendars, pass rules, and local planning clocks.

Official event pages already list the seasonal windows without needing the maze name to be printed on every marketing module. The Six Flags Great America Fright Fest page posts select nights from September 19 to November 1, 2026. The Dorney Park Halloween Haunt page posts select nights from September 18 through October 31, 2026. Use those official windows for lodging and travel, then watch the same pages for maze-pass language as sales open.

Why a named maze changes a fall ticket decision

Calendar-only Fright Fest and Halloween Haunt posts already told Chicago-area and Allentown-area travelers when the parks run after dark. Blair Witch: No Signal is a material product addition inside those windows. Families who only want daytime fall programming still have separate daytime products at some parks, while thrill seekers who buy night tickets specifically for licensed mazes now have a named reason to choose Great America or Dorney over a same-region alternative.

Deep Arrival already covered the Great America Fright Fest 2026 calendar and the Dorney Park Halloween Haunt 2026 calendar. Those posts own the date shells. This story owns the new maze product layered onto both shells.

Do not treat the maze as free proof of park admission. At Dorney Park, haunted mazes are premier attractions that require a Haunted Attractions Pass in addition to park admission, according to the haunt trade’s summary of the event model. Great America has used similar maze-pass structures in recent Fright Fest seasons. Until each park’s 2026 cart shows the exact maze list and pass SKU, budget for admission plus a maze pass rather than hoping the Blair Witch room is included in base night entry.

How to choose between Gurnee and Allentown

Great America sits in Gurnee, Illinois, roughly a Chicago North Shore and southern Wisconsin drive market. If you are already planning a fall weekend around Chicago, Fright Fest nights from September 19 through November 1 are the Great America clock. Pair the night event with daytime Tricks and Treats only if the family needs a low-scare day product on the same seasonal span; Deep Arrival’s daytime Great America post covers that split so you do not buy the wrong product for kids who will not enjoy scare zones.

Dorney Park sits in Allentown, Pennsylvania, for travelers using the Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia outbound, or New York to Pennsylvania road corridors. Halloween Haunt nights run September 18 through October 31. That window starts one night earlier than Great America’s published Fright Fest start and ends one day earlier on the calendar page, so do not copy Gurnee dates onto an Allentown hotel booking.

You cannot use one maze visit as a network pass. A Great America night does not punch a Dorney maze ticket. Pick the geography you can actually reach on a school night or a weekend trip, then buy that park’s admission and haunt pass path.

What is still unknown before opening night

Maze design details, exact opening night inside each event window, and final cart names for the Haunted Attractions Pass have not been fully published on the park event pages reviewed for this story. That is normal this early, but it means travelers should not invent walkthrough length, height rules, or photo policies.

Six Flags has not announced additional Blair Witch: No Signal parks beyond Dorney Park and Great America. Do not plan Magic Mountain, Great Adventure, or Over Georgia nights around this IP unless a later official notice expands the list.

A separate Lionsgate and Blumhouse Blair Witch film reboot has been dated for 2027 by entertainment trades. Six Flags has not said the mazes are tied to that release. Treat the maze as a 2026 park product, not as a film-ticket bundle.

Decision Matrix
If you… What to do
Live near Chicago or southern Wisconsin Plan Great America Fright Fest nights September 19 to November 1 and watch for maze-pass sales.
Live near Allentown or the Philadelphia outbound corridor Plan Dorney Park Halloween Haunt nights September 18 to October 31 with a separate maze pass budget.
Want licensed mazes more than open scare zones Wait for the 2026 cart to list Blair Witch: No Signal before buying a generic night ticket alone.
Travel with younger kids who skip haunts Use daytime fall programming where offered; do not force a maze night.
Cannot reach either park Do not wait for a national maze rollout; only two parks are confirmed so far.
What to Watch
  • Pass SKUs: Confirm whether Blair Witch is on the Haunted Attractions Pass before you pay for a night ticket bundle.
  • Opening night: Parks have not locked a public first operating night for the maze inside each window.
  • Height and warning rules: Read the final park advisories for intensity and accessibility before you promise the maze to a mixed-age group.
  • Extra parks: No third location is confirmed; ignore rumor maps until Six Flags posts them.

Match the park to your drive time, buy that park’s night ticket with a maze-pass budget, and treat Blair Witch: No Signal as a two-park 2026 debut, not a chain-wide guarantee.

Frequently Asked

Which parks get Blair Witch: No Signal in 2026?

Haunted Attraction Network reports the maze at Dorney Park’s Halloween Haunt in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Six Flags Great America’s Fright Fest in Gurnee, Illinois.

When do those Halloween events run?

Official pages list Great America Fright Fest on select nights September 19 through November 1, 2026, and Dorney Park Halloween Haunt on select nights September 18 through October 31, 2026.

Is the maze included with regular park admission?

Do not assume it is. Dorney’s haunt model uses a Haunted Attractions Pass for premier mazes, and Great America has used similar maze-pass structures. Confirm the 2026 cart before you travel.

Can I visit both mazes on one ticket?

No. They are separate parks with separate event brands, calendars, and tickets.

Is this the same as daytime Tricks and Treats?

No. Blair Witch: No Signal is an after-dark haunted maze product for Fright Fest and Halloween Haunt nights, not a daytime family festival.
