The line-up is concluded and all of the scare mazes have been revealed for this year’s event. It is 15 years of Scarefest which is big, of course! So, what does this years line-up consist of?<\/span><\/p>\n

The Attic:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Returning for another season is The Attic. Although last year’s run-through was relatively disappointing the location & atmosphere this maze creates is captivating. When this is on top form it truly is something special.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Darkest Depths:<\/span><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m so glad to see this return for another season. It\u2019s one of my favourite mazes at the park & yet again this is gorgeously themed. There are a lot of respectable jumps scares and the audio is truly spectacular.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Alton Ancestors:<\/span><\/h3>\n

True Scarefest icons. I\u2019m so happy to see they are back given the closure of Duel. I don\u2019t think Scarefest can even run without these, they\u2019ve become part of the furniture for the event. <\/span><\/p>\n

Altonville Mine Tours:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Surprised to see it return in all honesty. But also slightly glad too. Last year was the first time I fell in love with the maze so I\u2019m biased and thankful it\u2019s back.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

The Invitation:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Similar to Thorpe Park\u2019s latest experience this is an audio-lead attraction. For me, I\u2019m not quite sure how to feel about this. But it\u2019s interesting to see something fresh being tried. It also looks & sounds frightening from the promo & description.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gardens Light Walk: Whispering Souls:<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the few things we have not yet experienced at Scarefest weirdly enough. I think this has been about since 2020 and is something we need to explore.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Freaky Fun Zone:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Again these mascots are simply iconic and Scarefest wouldn\u2019t be the same without them. I love watching their shows throughout the day in between mazes. Some truly precious stuff from these guys.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

CBeebies Land Monster Ball:<\/span><\/h3>\n

We don\u2019t tend to enter CBeebies during our visits but it\u2019s lovely to see the youngest of the bunch getting something too. <\/span><\/p>\n

Overall:<\/span><\/h3>\n

There you have this years line-up. If I\u2019m honest I\u2019m not completely overwhelmed by it and was hoping for a little more of a shake-up in regards to the line-up. I\u2019m quite sad to see that Toxic Junkyard isn\u2019t making a return as it\u2019s been a stand-out maze for me since its opening. Either way, the 3 returnees are great nevertheless and it\u2019s nice to have yet another year with them. The new experience is going to be one of those things where it\u2019ll be hard to judge before trying. <\/span><\/p>\n

What are your most excited for this Scarefest?<\/span><\/p>\n
