Scarefest 2017

Yeah almost certainly, my initial post was in jest. It will be used as a set piece probably

could be a miner cabin where they keep the helmets with the torches on them or could be a picture point like in tott
 
I understand the expense involved in producing VR experiences for a roller coaster, but I can't help but feel Towers have missed a trick by not creating an exclusive 'Galacticaaahh' scary experience for Halloween, similar to the horror makeover Space Mountain gets at Disney Land. I guess this is just hopeless enthusiast dreaming but it's got to be more exciting than the current set up. :D
 
Wonder Mountain's Guardian at Canada's Wonderland gets a "zombie" film for the Halloween Haunt event. All it does is create massive three hour queues because everyone is clamouring to see this super rare (and as it turns out, far inferior) version of the ride. It's a nice touch, sure, but not worth the hassle.
It's certainly not the kind of thing Merlin, of all companies, would ever fork out on!
 
well it would be easier as i would upload pictures like towers nerd did with a caption but it would be live in the day
 
Can we please keep this on the topic of Scarefest at Alton Towers this year rather than any promotion or discussion of live blogs etc. If there are any live blogs throughout Scarefest though please do feel free to post a link here if you think others would be interested in seeing or following it.

Thanks!

:)
 
Will there be anyone visiting with the intention of actually enjoying the event? Or are you all going to be too busy live streaming every minute of every queueline to pay any attention to the park rather than your phone?

If it was just me I wouldn't do it, but there is about 6-7 of us giving updates which means there is not as much pressure on one person to constantly look at their phone, it's a shared effort.
 
Can you take a video of the skyride from tower street to forbidden valley? would give a better look of the maze and SW8!
Also, can you take some pictures of the new path at night?

(Now, something on topic so they can't shout at me for derailing the topic)

Is the full lineup confirmed yet, or do you think they will add some last min stuff like that nerf thing last year?
Does anyone know when the nerf thing was confirmed last year?
 
either the Towers site has crashed or they have now sold all the maze tickets for Saturday as you cant book them anymore.
Going to be busy if its the latter :eek:
