Six Flags St. Louis Unleashes Rage of the Gargoyles Virtual Reality Coaster

New VR Experience and Night Terrors Haunted Maze Join Fright Fest Lineup

EUREKA, Mo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#FrightFest–Six Flags St. Louis’ annual Fright Fest® is set for even more
screams with the invasion of Rage of the Gargoyles VR and
the new Night Terrors haunted maze. The world’s largest Halloween party
takes place five weekends beginning Friday, September 30 featuring Thrills
by Day
and Fright by Night with haunted mazes, Halloween
themed shows, kids’ attractions, zombies, freaks and thrilling scares
throughout the park.


New Frights

Fright seekers can now battle demonic creatures as Rage of the
Gargoyles
, the world’s first fully-integrated Virtual Reality (VR)
gaming coaster experience featuring Samsung Gear VR powered by Oculus,
invades Fright Fest. Riders—wearing Samsung Gear VR headsets— board the
Ninja roller coaster and become pilots of an Apache-style helicopter.
With a devastated cityscape as the backdrop, a fleet of choppers battles
an army of terrorizing, winged monsters. The action-packed adventure
begins with riders ascending up the coaster’s lift hill while
blood-thirsty gargoyles mercilessly attack the copter’s glass shield.
The epic on-screen conflict quickly accelerates as the high-definition
imagery synchs perfectly to the coaster’s movements sending riders
twisting, turning —flying over battered skyscrapers, plunging underneath
twisted bridges and dodging falling debris, all while shooting to
conquer the vicious master gargoyle. A surprise ending to this
fully-immersive virtual odyssey will leave guests breathless and ready
to engage in the Rage of the Gargoyles battle again.*

Also new for Fright Fest in 2016 is the Night Terrors
haunted maze. If guests weren’t already afraid of things that go bump in
the night, they will be now. Night Terrors preys on guest’s worst
phobias as each room brings them face to face with another fear to
conquer. This walk-through attraction brings nightmares to life and
makes even the strongest fear going to sleep.
