"...based on our world-class themed accommodation" ha ha ha ha ha ha, Stargazing Sheds?!
Anyway, its a no brainer really that Scarefest is such a huge success, the chance of riding into the night and experiencing scary mazes is of course going to pull in more and more people. While the Scarefest period is still one of my most favorite times to visit the park, the atmosphere and depth of the scare attractions is not like it used to be. Emphasis is on getitng as many tickets sold for the mazes and maximum throughput now. However, its a business, and its there to make money, so who can blame them.
Call it progress or whatever you want, but the more people who visit, the less complex and less time consuming a scare maze can be I guess as more and more people want to experience it.
However, given these figures, I think there should be more Halloween attractions throughout the park, not just on Towers Street. Definitely needs to be a walk through scaremaze or two for next year !
