Fully agree with what's been said - although there's likely a reason, keep the hosts away from the Octagon, and whilst in the Vault, tell them to keep their trap shut. I'd rather it take 10 seconds longer per dispatch than have that. Not to be to be pompous but it spoils the ambience of the...

I had planned to go 3 times this Scarefest, originally - one with my girlfriend, another with my brother and Dad, and the third with friends. Then when the three mazes were announced, we cancelled one (Dad and bro) and when the fourth experience was announced - my friends and I decided to go to...

Thanks, Jack. You too - and cheers to your mates.

I was very lucky to be on the last ever "official" coffin - after being on the first in 03 - I was in proper geek mode today. I wouldn't be fussed about many/any other rides; but I was Duel. No-one barged or pushed, everyone was a bit excited but it was just a small bunch of nerds wanting one...

I've taken the day off work on Tuesday to say bye, so I hope it's still running with blasters! Is anyone doing the same? Was also hoping for a wee bargain at Spooks R Us. I remember the day that Something Sinister closed - 3rd November 2002 - and the guy in the shop said "help yourself to the...

1. TOTT 2002 In part, for nostalgia. It's probably not as elaborate as some of the more recent mazes, but it was still an impressive set up - and of course was supported by Lynton v Harris, a scare master. I loved the variation of ghouls - an alien, the doorman - Mr Slice, skulls, zombie...

I think the Design is very good and a big improvement on the previous design, but I agree, in terms of CTAs, links, and the general content housekeeping, it's a little poor. Perhaps they could do with a bit of a UI refresh for selecting ticket options / variations too. Related to this - the...

Like others, I agree it's a shame there aren't two new mazes but sure we knew that a few weeks ago, it's probably a budget thing, and they'll know / should know the data on this sort of thing (RoI in several different scenarios). I'm just glad that TJ got the chop, and not AVMT. Even if you've...

Ah. This has taken me aback, although we all expected something. As I may have said before, I was the first person on Duel when it opened on Saturday 5th April 2003. Not that that counts for anything - but it's always been a special ride - The Haunted House and its successor, as it has to many...

Hopefully, the line-up will be announced in the next couple of weeks. It does feel a little stale to me and I would've loved two new mazes (whether that's 2/4 replaced or 1/4 replaced and the addition of a fifth) BUT it's one of those where the budget is probably constrained by upper aboves...

I think the channel's brilliant - some great content and I've seen theme parks I'll probably never get to go to. Despite over 200+ visits to Alton, I still watch most of the Alton ones too! (I think it's a nice distraction from everyday life particularly when you need something positive to focus...

I loved the Haunted House, but I loved Duel too (I was the first person through its doors on 5th April 2003). It's something a bit different and me and my mates would team up, 2 v 2, and the losing team would have to do a dare. More recently, that's sitting on the Battle Galleons whilst the...

Are we thinking that Darkest Depths may be the one to get the chop then? I'd still rather see TJ go, cos at least DD had some funny scenes and improvisation from actors taking the mick out of people, but neither were on par with AVMT nor some of the previous mazes (DD was originally for a...

I LOVE Spinjam - when it kicks in towards the end of the programme, it's one heck of a ride, and easily my favourite of the three. Mixtape was good too, but I do prefer Spinjam. I echo everyone else's sentiments in that I'd love to see a selection of new, permanent flats at the park. They...

Two fresh mazes were needed this year. Hopefully Toxic Junkyard gets the chop, it's one of the poorest they've ever done, whereas AVMT is still a good maze. I hope the new one is intense/ pushes the boundaries.

Thanks, Alton Towers Heritage. Do you know what music from 2008 was especially recorded for the Towers, for example, by Pitstop? All the other TOTT music from 2008 was from royalty-free sites, film soundtracks (Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Midnight Syndicate. Same goes...

It's not only 15 years since Scarefest began, but 20 years since the first-ever Terror of the Towers! I really hope they pay homage to that / past mazes by perhaps having a 'generic' scare maze with a variety of ghouls. The original TOTT was such good fun; a relatively simple concept compared to...

Thanks, Matt. Yes - I was in the first ever group on Terror of the Towers when its first incarnation launched in 2002, and have been obsessed since! (Was a member of various AT forums years ago, but missed engaging with fellow AT nerds hence re-registering). In terms of not enjoying the mazes...

Personally, I'm hoping for a new maze this year; hopefully one with the level of imagination and detail as Altonville (my current favourite), OR as intense as Sub Species. I felt last year was a little weak maze-wise although understandably so with the restrictions, and we were lucky to have an...

Hi everyone - rather geeky post here! This is a bit of a long shot, but I'm hoping there's a fellow Scarefest-music nerd out there who may know the answer... Did anyone ever manage to find the exact version of Minuet (composed by Krieger) used in Terror of the Towers versions' 08, 11 and 12 in...
