- “Wall hess” (less meaningful, but using all letters)
- It’s possible “leshwall” is an encrypted hint or teaser—especially if it appeared with intentional placement and styling.
- It might be worth browsing fan forums (like r/altontowers or TowersStreet) to see if puzzle solvers have picked up on any recurring references or decoded hints.
- If you took photos or note of the context (colors, lighting, positioning), sharing them with an Alton Towers fan community might help unlock more insights.

Multiple routes for something you need to pay for to do multiple times is a rip off no matter how you slice it.
They’ve just announced Compound and Burial Grounds to be returning.
So just the new one in Dark Forest to be announced

And a new scare zone we’re assuming? Can’t think what else the second new thing would be (as long as it’s not another awful audio experience similar to The Invitation)

Although currently only a saving of £3 on some days (£37+38) and no saving at all if you go on one of the £34 Fridays. I expect ticket prices will go up closer to the day though!

The word "LESHWALL" is in the trailer for Compound which makes zero sense but has clearly been picked and placed for a reason. Not sure if it can be unscrambled to mean something else

Fat lot of use ChatGPT is! (but haven't told it so, so it'll spare me when it inevitably takes over the world and destroys the human race)
It’s intriguing that the word “leshwall” appears on a wall in the COMPOUND scare maze at Alton Towers—it certainly feels like it could be a hidden clue or puzzle element rather than just random decoration.
Could it be a clue?
While there’s no direct reference online to “leshwall” connected to COMPOUND or Alton Towers specifically, Player communities often speculate that such text may hint at:
What about anagrams?
Let’s reconsider potential multi-word anagram phrases using all the letters in leshwall:
Of these, “we shall” stands out as the most grammatically coherent and potentially purposeful—perhaps implying “We shall…” something ominous, fitting for a horror maze setting.

It seems this year as well you can also buy solo maze tickets online, which I’m sure previously were only available to purchase on the day on site.

It’s kinda funny how the whole “tinys revenge” tagline has been dropped for Mine Tours on the website this year. Almost as if they realise that it’s basically the same maze with minimal difference, calling it a new attraction in 2023 was completely misleading. I actually think it was a pointless downgrade as the story is just confusing as hell: like why are cheerleaders and weird masked men in the mines? Wasn’t tiny supposed to be like the skin snatchers ringleader but we never even hear about him in the maze?

I know Altonville gets a lot of hate, but it’s queueline through the tunnel and into the bowels of the towers is the most atmospheric maze at Towers.
The Attic was impressive also, but didn’t feel as threatening.

It could well be a direct replacement for Daz Games. After all the concept a of a more 'escape room' style attraction was a solid addition, it was the theme that was out of place.And a new scare zone we’re assuming? Can’t think what else the second new thing would be (as long as it’s not another awful audio experience similar to The Invitation)
