Otto the Auto is our Traffic Safety Mascot and is our automated robotic car that helps teach traffic safety messages to pre-K to 2nd grade. We have a Traffic Safety Educator who can present on any traffic safety-related topic for 3rd grade and above. We also hold a Traffic Safety Poster Program annually (see right).
Teen Driving Safety. Our Traffic Safety Educator holds an annual “Dare to Prepare” Parent-Teen Workshop to help educate parents and teens what to expect in the learning-to-drive process. This class is held in early spring. Registration is required.

Halloween Happenings
Six Flags Fright Fest is back for select days this fall. It is a spooky time
of year as
zombies and
ghouls take
over the park.
Enjoy thrills
and activities
for the whole family throughout
the day and come back for a truly frightening evening of fun after the sun goes down. Fright Fest offers a wide variety of places to get your scare on, including several haunted houses and scare zones located throughout the park. The stuff of nightmares lurks around every corner as the dark of night washes over the park and the ghouls are set free for their daily hunting rituals. Don’t forget: If you purchased Great Escape season passes this year, they will work for admission into the park on those days. Visit AAA. com/sixflags for tickets pricing at all parks.
