UK Halloween events

Fear Island (Fantasy Island) was very good on the VIP press preview night. They put on a great show and had a new maze open, Snap, a circus/clown themed entity. Psycho Mansion, 9 Circles and Ravenous (with resident banjo-playing creepy hillbilly Cletus in great form again) returned, although it took us around an hour to get into the latter one (they were only accepting six at a time when the queue was massive, but then started sticking 10 in a group to get more people through). YouTuber Lifthillsandthrills reckoned it was the best scare attraction in the country.

Twinlakes Xtreme Scream vs Tulleys Shocktoberfest.

Only did Xtreme Scream first time last night but never done Tulleys.

How well themed the mazes are at Xtreme Scream and Scary for a junior park took me by surprise and I have been to Twinlakes many times before but Xtreme Scream felt completely different

Xtreme Scream is easily the best UK Halloween event I’ve done. Some of those mazes go on for like 15 minutes!

I’m visiting Tulleys’ sister event The Howl later this week. Surprised to learn that they now have 7 mazes (it was only 4 I think the last time I visited) so looking forward to checking those out.

I was shocked how long the mazes were at Xtreme Scream at a Juniors park. My one thing with the event is I wish the entire park of Twinlakes was accessible a night ride on Buffalo would be cool and theres a lot more land around the park for more mazes

Halloween Haunt Fest has ‘ceased trading and entered into voluntary insolvency’. I watched Coaster Crazy’s vlog a week or so ago and he said it was terrible, as have others.

So sad to hear about Halloween Haunt Fest. Yes ok the press night was a disaster; but most of the reviews since then have been positive. I visited a week after press night and thought it was a fantastic event. I think they just needed time to get everything settled in, as it sounds like they rushed to get it open for press night before it was really ready.

If we forget the press night, it was a great event. Really good mazes, with high quality set design, really good roaming actors, and overall a great event which sadly just had teething problems. Glad I got to experience it when I did, but such sad news as you could tell the passion was clearly there from the event organisers.
