To chime back in, was defo scarefest auditions in the february, we watched them. They may well recruit throughout the year, it was not sub terra actors. I can 100% confirm this i saw it with my own eyes, i don't doubt they do it up to september, but they defo hold scarefest auditions in feb.

Look at it logically, who is going to audition in February for a role in October?

Was this February 2013? As it may have been for when the opened The Sanctuary in March April when The Smiler was delayed.

You only have to look back on Alton Towers Careers Facebook page to see the casting calls in August and September. Having auditioned myself and knowing guys who have worked scarefest trust me that's how it works.

This is way off topic.
 
Hmmm.... enclosing it in a tent would actually solve many issues. The ugly concrete would no longer be visible, the drainage problem would be gone, and as long as they have decent air con in there it could be a much more interesting queue. The Flasher would actually work! Might have to turn off the marmaliser screens though, and replace them with an epic light show. ;)
 
I think we could be on to something here, do you know any ground work companies that could do the foundations for the tent poles etc? lol
 
If the tent Mk.II looked somewhat like a circus tent then there could be an inclusion of new live actors playing the part of twisted and creepier than usual clowns, ready to jump out and scare you sh#*less at various points!

That was probably just the staff messing around. They've never officially had "actors" in there.
 
Actors would have made the correction block though! Just like the fog during the initial indoor section (which I never experienced :()

I thought this was why the corridor was built with blind corners with spaces for people to stand where they cant be seen, i always check the corners now lol, well not any more but i used to :(
 
I think that's just to mess with your head so you aren't sure what way to turn. Though maybe it was futureproofed for Scarefest?
 
In the exit, in the illusion bit, member of staff was standing in that place where you can't see them unless you are right next to them. Thy didn't move or say anything but have you ever tried walking through the illusion area, half blind (usually wear glasses) then see someone wearing the smiler uniform, and they are just staring at the wall, humming the smiler music...

:screamcat:
