Well there are drive-in church services in the UK so drive-through scare mazes could indeed work. Good spot.Read something last week on a drive through scare event...Japan?
Now there is an idea...all those lovely car parks.
I agree. They should use the budget usually reserved for the mazes on extra lighting, decorations and scare zone props. I really hope they bring back the singing/talking ghost projections (on a tree near Towers Street last year), they were really good.A drive through scare zone sounds like a lot of hassle and potential claims for damage.
I'd be very happy, personally just to walk through an extremely well themed park. More lights, more sounds, smells and projections.
I loved the ride theme pumpkins, more things like that around the park would be great.

If they really wanted to they could expand on night rides (also a very popular aspect of Scarefest) by closing later, thus giving more time. Staffing costs would probably put paid to that though.
I think for the marketing team and those who develop ideas this should be an exciting time.
More like a really awful time, as they watch all the ideas they had been working on cancelled and probably never get the budget granted for a good few seasons now.I think for the marketing team and those who develop ideas this should be an exciting time.
I think it will be vital that they can extend the season, or at least be allowed to open the park for events during winter such as a Christmas market. If anywhere is allowed to have those.
I don't know if that puts paid to the idea of them being able to extend their season or not, or if it's too early for them to say they are doing that. Blackpool itself is used to having out of season events as a town so I guess that's why Pleasure Beach can tag along with the illuminations being extended etc, whereas Alton Towers is completely on its own.
Or is it for more complicated reasons like safety, there are a lot of trees in AT, lighting isn't great in a lot of areas, wet leaves and damp ground... as people have said, it's probably something that would need a long time to think about, extending the season.
