Most Six Flags theme parks used to lower their flags for the season soon after Labor Day. Now, however, they all present
Fright Fest Halloween events, and some remain open through the end of the year with Holiday in the Park festivals.
Want to know which Six Flags parks celebrate Christmas and the holidays with bazillions of twinkling lights, visits from Santa Claus, holiday-themed stage shows, and, yes, coasters and other rides? You've come to the right place. The 2011 guide is arranged alphabetically by U.S. state.
