Six Flags is introducing a new Halloween experience themed to The Conjuring at legacy Cedar Fair parks this autumn.
The Conjuring: Beyond Fear has been confirmed for four theme parks in the new Six Flags portfolio – Cedar Point and Kings Island in Ohio, Canada’s Wonderland in Ontario, and Carowinds in North Carolina.
Via the Carowinds website, the new “Screamium” experience will not be included with a daily ticket or season pass, instead requiring a separate purchase.
Guests will get to “navigate iconic scenes from New Line Cinema’s The Conjuring universe to lock away cursed artifacts before supernatural chaos is unleashed”.
There will be state-of-the-art effects, “screen-to-scream environments”, and various interactive challenges.
The Conjuring: Beyond Fear, the website says, “plunges you deeper than ever before into The Conjuring universe”.
The Conjuring film franchise has featured at Six Flags parks before, most recently as part of 2024’s expanded Fright Fest Extreme event. However, the IP is new to legacy Cedar Fair locations.

Edithann Ramey, Six Flags’ chief marketing officer, told Reuters last year that the company enjoyed attendance gains and increases in guest spending in 2023 when it introduced attractions based on Saw and The Conjuring.
“It’s become this time of the year that’s grown in explosive ways,” Ramey said. “It’s become a billion-dollar industry in the last five years.”
Jakob Wahl, IAAPA’s chief executive, told the publication: “We actually see a growth every year in terms of Halloween events, not only North America, but across the world.”
