SLIGHTLY? This is the biggest change we've had since the re-introduction of a halloween event a few years ago! Completely new scare zones, 2 brand new mazes, a third maze returning and a re-routed maze. Hardly a slight alteration.I posted a couple of pages ago about a FV scarezone, (even if mine sounded better) they are reading this!
Seriously though, I am glad there changing the scarefest line up slightly.

True but lots of people would pay it and as numbers are limited just like the vip merlin pass they will sell out as some people are happy to pay a premium for a product, it's not for everyone including me but someone will pay.

Based on social media people are willing to pay it (I'm not)

This.
'Supply & demand' people... The same reason why the Hotels are extortionate, if people are paying it, prices will keep going up. I'm almost certain this will sell out. As crap as it is for people who respect money.

£99 for a glorified 2 hour scare maze? What a joke! Clearly some fools will be prepared to pay, not least because there are some somewhat hardcore scare fans in the UK.
I'd love to try it myself as it sounds good and I have no doubts that the team at Towers will do a great job with it. But for £99? Even £80 with discount is a rip off in my eyes. I guess if it was priced for what it's worth there would be too many people wanting to do it.
I have a potentially bigger concern though. This attraction is called Sub Species: Operation Lockdown. In the information released by 'mistake' there was a maze called SUB-Species: The End Games. Now are these both the same thing? Or is one a daytime normal maze that is then utilised for the extreme maze later on? I really hope it is the latter otherwise we continue with a two maze event. That would be extremely disappointing to say the least.
