It would be great to have a proper kids maze back. House of Monsters was brilliant and although Darkest Depths was great last year, it’s really not a kids maze, and wasn’t aimed at young children anyway.
Sub-Species is a classic, never had the same experience twice. I’ll be gutted when they do get rid of it and expect it to return again this year. It’s also the only one that does still get me every time!
I hope that they update The Attic, P42 and Skin Snatchers if they come back. Not anything fancy, just a progression of the story. Something like Sub Species doesn’t really have a story, it’s a situation that you find yourself in, so to me, it feels like it makes more sense for it to stay the same, especially when there isn’t a set route. The others are so story-based that if they stay the same, it feels stale and is the same experience. I know Skin Snatchers is very popular but it’s the same every year. The concept is great, the actors are always great, the theming is great, just a progression of the story, even in a little way would be nice. Same goes for The Attic and Project 42.
If they replace anything, fingers crossed for me it is Project 42 or Skin Snatchers. I think we are sorely missing at least one ride themed maze (a la The Sanctuary, rather than Sub Species or P42). Maybe something in Dark Forest? Such a boring location and the scare zone that year really livened the place up.
