It is OK. There isn't much substance to it, but I suppose that it also preserves the mystique of the attraction.Sorry for the double post, but the Burial Grounds advert is up!

I think it would make sense for it to use the overflow queue and path down the side of Wicker Man. Can’t see where else it would go.

Safe to say that the route is indeed using that path, with entrances near the ride entrance and where the bypass path joins up near the queue line shop. This was taken from the passholder page.
It’s definitely sensible to look at utilising paths that can be avoided, in future I would love to see additional scare zones using the old Zombies location and the old Scary Tales location!

Only issue with using that path is Wicker Man's queue has fire gates which lead onto it. So if WM's fire alarm went off they'd have to halt the scare zone so guests can leave the queue.

Yes but I can’t imagine that’s a daily occurrence

Of course, but something they'll hopefully have taken into account in the planning.

On paper it's probably the best place for a scare zone in the park. Doesn't take up any essential pathways, has a great 'vulnerable feeling' location with the woods on one side and the WM fence on the other and it shouldn't feel out of place given its using a similar theme to the main (OK, only) attraction in the area.

Well we have our map:

Not sure that tells us much we didn't already know.
Can't quite see at this resolution if they've cut Hex and the Skyride out.

Both Hex and Skyrides names have been removed, but their respective stations for the skyride still appear to be on the artwork.

This goes for the main map as well, (And many other things if you’re feeling cynical) but they really haven’t been putting much effort into the Scarefest map for the last few years. I guess it doesn’t matter much, but I do miss the Scarefest maps being more than a recolour of the main map. Seeing the mazes properly represented on the map was cool! Oh well

They are, there's numbers where each of the entrances are.

That's good. I didn't see that on the map, because I didn't actually click the Facebook link, which seems to have a higher-quality version of the image.

They are, that's the whole reason for doing a Scarefest map

Would be nice if they drew the Scarefest attractions in the map instead of just labelling them with pumpkins though (perhaps with a badly photoshopped Daz...)

Got a feeling that tab may have been made public too early lol.A new Scarefest tab has been added to the app.
It currently only consists of Daz Games: Panic which is listed as being in Forbidden Valley. So perhaps a ‘work in progress’.
