Scarefest 2025

I would say those walls are the sides of a wheelchair ramp.

If this is Dark Forest/Thirteen/Rita based, could this be the beginning of a revamp of the area? Afterall, Towers have had scare mazes "advertising" future rides over the years (The Welcoming - Wicker Man and The Sanctuary - The Smiler)

Out of the 2 remaining areas Dark Forest is the least themed and one that desperately needs something doing to it.

I hope so, the Dark Forest has massive potential.

I don't do scare mazes but if its TH13TEEN themed sign me up.

It’s weird that they’ve gone for some brickwork for a maze facade, it suggests some sort of permanence to the maze. I imagine this will be the spiritual successor to Terror of the Towers now that The Attic is as good as dead.

If they are still ending the Towers ruins as maze spaces, Dark Forest is a very logical place to put a scare maze. Maybe this will bridge the Towers/Hex and Dark Forest together, perhaps set in some other uncovered residence from the Earl of Shrewsbury that’s been overtaken by witches and demons. Or maybe they’ll throw us off entirely and they’ll give the Alton Ancestors their own scare maze!

One thing I have never understood with Scarefest is why Nicklodeon Outta Control Building was never used as a Scare Maze seems like a prime spot for one.

I think that area has historically been too family-orientated to house a proper scare maze. Cred Street, Cloud Cuckoo Land and The World of David Walliams are all themes that would be quite out of step with a scare maze.

Although I guess they made House of Monsters work, so never say never!

Probably because the space has been underutilised so would cost too much to refurbish it just for an attraction that lasts 3 weeks.

Scarefest without a maze in the towers would be very weird in my opinion. Hope we still get at least one. Nothing better than queing for a maze at night in the courtyard

Supposedly Mine Tours is still going to be there this year.

Scarefest without Terror of the Towers is weird felt really strange in 2018 without it.
