Possibly but we still had three indoor mazes so Covid-19 clearly isn't preventing it. Toxic Junkyard was alright, but nothing special in my opinion.
That's great, as I missed out on it last year due to technical issues.The Darkest Depths maze was still in place last week so it seems like that'll be coming back.

Well hopefully that shouldn't be a problem this year come OctoberThe batching wasn't great on any of the mazes really, social distancing does raise a few issues mainly around capacity and waits but hopefully it will be much less of an issue this year than last.
I know this isn't the COVID thread, but does July 19 look promising? Cases and deaths are rapidly increasing, I'm going to contradict my last post in this thread and say I'm more uncertain now on what I originally said.Welcome to the forum @LLCorkscrew! Judging by your first two posts, I’m guessing you’re quite the Scarefest fan!
In terms of Scarefest 2021; I’d be very surprised if we don’t have at least a slightly more normal event than 2020’s, given that step 4 going ahead on 19th July looks quite promising.
I’ll admit I’ve never really gotten excited by Scarefest like everyone else. Don’t get me wrong, I spent a few hours in the morning at Scarefest 2015, and I liked the decorations, but controversially, the “scare” stuff doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest; I’m slightly afraid to admit this for fear of being mocked, but I do have a bit of a fear of costumed characters, especially scare actors, and I certainly don’t think I’d like the more extreme scare mazes and zones, personally.
I know that cases are increasing, but it’s worth noting that the rate of rise is now beginning to plateau in many areas (the amount of time cases are taking to double is certainly getting a lot longer), and cases are even dropping in a number of former hotspots (e.g. Bolton). Hospitalisations and deaths have also not risen exponentially in the same manner as cases have due to the high efficacy of the vaccines.I know this isn't the COVID thread, but does July 19 look promising?

Even when I was little I loved reading about Scarefest on the website and remember the 2011 season. The masks of the killers in the Boiler House really freaked me out and still does tbh haha.If we do see the complete easing of restrictions in time for Scarefest then I think it's a great opportunity to do some replacing. It simply makes sense to replace the Mine Tours due to its' age, however I do worry about budget for this year's event? I could still potentially see the line-up remain unchanged. Perhaps there's potential of reintroducing a revamped sub-species? I'd imagine most of the props are still sitting collecting dust there in the basement?
They could do with better advertising of Darkest Depths too, I think I only saw one sign around the park advertising it, meanwhile I can remember the entire park being plastered with WANTED posters for the Boiler House in 2011.
Somebody tweeted about Project 42 being removed. As far as I have seen in vlogs, (I'm not a regular visitor), there is no activity in the area. However, that could change. It could be used for anything at this point.I would assume that Towers have planned the mazes with social distancing in mind given the uncertainty over the easing of restrictions, so I think Scarefest won't be completely back to normal (pre-covid) til 2022. Also has anyone noticed any more activity around the N:ST building?
