Scarefest 2022

I'm hoping they've got more up their sleeves than just one new maze - I want to believe "returning favourites" or however it's worded means old mazes from a ew years ago - and therefore hoping the line up is completely different.

Darkest Depths is now in the process of being demolished.

That's what I was thinking/hoping! Maybe if two mazes from last year got the chop, (I've never been to scarefest before so I don't know which mazes are the weakest), and one maze is completely new and one is an old classic returning. This would be an amazing treat for old and new fans. Possible candidates:

The Boiler House- Could be amazing in the Sub-Terra building. Would terrify me personally.


The Sanctuary- Another very possible candidate as it's one of the most beloved mazes.

Sub-Species: A revamp of this maze could be very fitting for 15 years of scarefest, assuming they want to offer a more extreme experience.

New teaser...



Notice the number, it looks like they are posting a different iteration of a previous maze each day. Could we see Towers' version of Trailers, which was Thorpe's anniversary maze?

Edit: Could actually be a teaser for Trick 'O' Treat Town returning.

I reckon we’re getting a clown themed maze then. Maybe Freak Show but indoors.

They are really hyping this announcement up aren’t they…

 

[Squiggs]

Given it's posted to the Alton Entertainment account, I'd imagine if they are doing a countdown they might be counting down to audition announcements or similar.

It would also be a wierd place for them to announce anything new, so that's more likely just a promo shot from Freakshow.

It's more likely from Trick 'O' Treat town because the costume matches and there's a number on the door.

If that's an advert for Trick o' Treat town I think they've misjudged the target audience

Terrifying.

Yeah that's a good point.
Probably Freak Show.

The costume doesn’t look very freak show to me, but it’s also not carnival of screams.

 

[Squiggs]

I think Skyscraper is right... those trousers are from a costume that appears in the publicity for Trick o' Treat Town last year.

But nothing about that teaser suggests 'family attraction'. Utterly terrifying.

 

[Skyscraper]

Here we go!

 

[Batzy]

I just had a really cool idea.

What if characters from previous mazes appeared around the park as roaming actors?

Not a big deal, but when you embed from social media, could you reference where you're embedding from? There's a chunk of us who can't see social media embeds, so extra info lets us go and hunt down the original post.

Hey all, long time Alton towers/Scarefest Fan. Just thought I’d put something in here. I was quite naughty the other week and went past the gate I front of the entrance to the towers(was pulled back, staff probably forgot to shut it) the attic pre show is completely stripped down (like they normally do) also there’s a door at the back corner of the banqueting hall which was open, I went down the stairs and into another door. To my surprise it takes you to the start of sub species (where the 3 doors were where they separated you) the maze is still fully intact. So people saying the picture uploaded by the entertainments team on insta was a reference to sub species returning, completely supports this theory. Let me know what you all think. Looking forward to this years scarefest

That’s weird, thought they would have took most of Sub Species down no?

 

[Trooper Looper]

Next time try and sneak behind Duel mate

I’d have thought the same thing mate, but it looked untouched. All the theming, the hand on rope section, Even the smell pods from aroma prime were still set up,

Ahahaha on it buddy. It’s honestly gonna be all eyes on duel until we know what’s happening for sure!!
