Well it’s pretty obvious that the new addition is going to be in the Sub Terra building, therefore not related to vampires

Too much work has been taking place in Sub Terra for the new maze not to be in there. Maybe the Games Bunker area is being used for something else? (scare zone maybe?)
Difference is the interior and exterior of those aren’t as permanent as the Sub Terra building. A gothic vampire story in a permanent military style building? Makes no sense.
We both know it’s not going to happen mate. Unless they do put something in the games bunker
You said exactly what I was thinking however it would be fun to see a vampire and military crossover. Vampires with guns sounds funny
I don't think they've announced one. Also the American style of scare zones that AT picked up a few years ago wouldn't fit in that area. However it may be a possibility that they will surprise us with a scare zone for their 15th anniversary (Again, wishful thinking)

It’s more of a tin shed than a military facility.
It could be a scientist lab with experiments on bats gone wrong… they could literally create any story/theme to suit the surroundings.

To my eye, I've not yet seen anything enough to suggest where the fourth experience is actually going to be.
I had pretty much ruled out the Games Bunker site once it became apparent that Toxic Junkyard had been binned, but if work is now going on in the area, then that still leaves at least three (though in reality five) former maze locations that could still be utilised this year.
My main concern with Sub Terra is that we've not seen any actually work going on at the site. There has been activity in the area certainly, but when the site was last used for Scarefest, by this time of the year we were over a month into actual construction, with significant additional structures added onto the sides of the building. Scare mazes don't spring out of nowhere, they require visible construction to create, especially when they are first built and, unless I missed something, the only place we've seen visible construction so far this year has been Darkest Depths.

I think this is why people are worried that it may be an audio experiance, we haven't seen any construction to suggest anything and usually audio experiance tend to happen in 'pods' which may be in the sub-terror building. You don't need to create any theming pieces for an audio experiance. I'm hoping that their has been construction happening deep in the towers where sub-species and TOTT was located with the exit being straight out into the small patch of grass in front of the towers (where sub-species finale was).

Alarms were testing in Sub Terra at the same time as the other maze sites. That's one of the biggest clues in my opinion.

Apparantly, Sub-Species is still in tact. So construction wouldn't be happening there. Like mentioned above, the most likely site seems to be sub-terra, which worries me a bit as well as others. I'm hoping for an intense maze in the same vain as sub-species. I don't know if the sub-terra building can accomodate such an experience, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Sorry to split up the argument guys but when's the best time to do the mazes?
We could see a maze where Trick or Treat Town is since it isn't returning?

This is my first Scarefest so others may have better advice
I'm planning to do the mazes as soon as they open and save the night for rides. It's dark in the mazes anyway so time of day shouldn't matter. Queues might be shorter as well.Sent from my SM-A516B using Tapatalk

Outdoor mazes you're stuck as they're rubbish in the day light. But indoor as soon as they open. It's so quiet I've been through 2 completely on my own before when waiting for other guests proved futile.
You'll either walk straight in, or have to wait a few minutes for a few more guests to join you.
An audio experience wouldn’t require major visible work, this is the point.
If there was a massive big scare maze to be announced I think it would have been made obvious by now, but it’s not, hence why an audio experience is the most likely outcome.
The picture they released with the random coffin was took in the towers . Is there really going to be a 3rd maze in there considering we know Sub Species is already in tact? That picture was just a simple placeholder to tease the event as a whole, nothing more
Is it possible for the person who saw sub-species to have only seen the start or first room? Because it is possible for the maze to be built in the more restrictive areas first and then the more accessible areas to the public nearer to October.
I never went into sub-terror and therefore I don't know the general size of it but, is it possible for a scare maze in that area to be fully enclosed in the building with nothing being built outside?
Again, I'm starting to think about going to Thorpe park if the final announcement ends up being an audio experiance, however if its a new maze I'm definitely staying at AT.

Sub Terra was used for Project 42 a few years back. The only external section was a small yellow tent next to the pre-show entrance.

This was Project 42:
In the years that Sub Terra was being used as a maze, all those extensions were already built by this point.
That seems really big for a 5/8 minute attraction. I gather there was more near the back of the queue? Compared to the construction occurring now, its a lot.This was Project 42:

I also wanted to point out that on the website the new attraction is under the heading of scare mazes. What do we think of this, a simple error or is it really going to be a scare maze and not an audio experiance that it may turn out to be?
