It should be quite clear to maintenance to see that ! Took my mate over a hour to get out of car park tonight. They were signalling traffic yet the issue was cars coming on from Tesco. The road needs resurfacing badly and the bushes cut back as at points two cars to pass each other is not possible
A very busy park so far today. Parts of car park too wet to park on. Car park full by 11am roughly. We were not given our vouchers for the free meal or free gift, so we went back to reception to collect.
First up pirate ship, it only uses one wheel to move the ship so that's a key reason why it doesnt go too high. Both wheels are used to slow the boat down. Mm horrific load times for that ride and so many cars going round with just two people in. 3 cars all different colours. Soft play and chair lifts opened at noon.
Egg spress still has the same issue with the bars being released and one part of the ride if your tall like me you run the risk of being caught on some steel all rusted. Also the former yellow hatch markings that let you know that part was low on the supports have been painted over. That wholee area closed at 4pm which with volume of guests is just carnage. Absolutely ridiculous.
Fireball was awful as we know , no music system as someone had removed the plug, nearly all on the ride said is that it and this is sh**. Sad yet true.
Hobs revenge was ok yet could be better. Nothing like satan's circus at all.
Currently waiting in a mega que for full scream ahead. They clearly need to build on this for next year. Throughput is dire.
Bumped into a family I know and they were dissatisfied and said what so many local people say "theres nothing here" so much so they were bored and headed off to tesco for a walk.
It so badly needs more flats especially with this sort of crowd to help swell things up.
Fireworks due around 6pm so let's hope they are good. Pics to follow.
Second maze in the train much better than the hobs I thought. Drop tower and waveswinger not lit up as in recent years ,shame. Heard a guy in the loo say rides in the dark quite cool, Fireballs lights are all broken virtually like the ride itself. It looks appaling.
Mobile bar unit with booze and a mobile catering unit by fireball too where the ride has closed ahead of its published 5.45pm.
Popped up the park today for a drive, approx 2.15pm ish car park was very quiet. Bring a friend with the season pass for a tenner today and on the website a list of what times the rides stop has been published for season end.
One of the mazes closes at 4.30pm !! wtf !
Most things close at 5.30pm, Fireball last at 5.45pm, Fireworks at 6pm.
Eggspress and that area closes at 4pm to prepare for fireworks....not good.. I recall days when it was seriously busy for firework night and the rattlesnake was always one of the last to shut.
Closing off 3 rides some two hours before the bangs is a little much....
I will be on site tomorrow for the first season end in a while, weather is set to be good so lets hope it brings the people in
But how do they compare to the faultless satans circus from way back....the maze tickets are they from reception and main ticket booths only or any shop?
I think for £5 for both mazes it's good value, if you go in expecting Alton Towers levels of scaremaze then you're bound to be disappointed, but both Mazes were very good today, I really enjoyed the train and think Hobs Revenge is excellent!
reviews seem good from facebook that I have seen... does anyone know if you have to pay the £5 each time to do the two horror mazes ? assuming there maybe a £2.50 option too if you only want to do one ?
Advertising has gone up in the town centre and a article on the journal webiste too. I notice the town advert says two scary mazes for 2019, this is fine yet then further down spooky family fun. These mazes are being billed from what we have seen prior to this as quite intense like what we had befoe , i think the advert shows them as kids mazes leaving to less people at the gtaes. If the advert shows over 16 only for the two mazes this would pull more folk in
Wasn't this the Miniature railway ride with added scares? My guess is that we won't see it return this year. I think the park will really focus on the family friendly stuff and the scare company will do their two attractions.
yes under the castle and old train will be the areas, the last time we did this with huge success was the 2013 season, it was heaving and satans circus was world class. The videos have been taken down now by atmosfear - they were there until the 2019 announcement. Yet as bubbles said it needs to be pushed yet it will all come down to weather
I have to say that I am looking forward to these. I presume under the castle and the static train again Location wise. The old Laser Quest does make for a good maze as the infrastructure is already there. (well it was in 2013)

Great photos.. everything looking smart

So it seems some reviews are not that good after all....

Have they said whether the Terror Train will return?
£5 each and also £5 each for pass holders for one go in the two horror mazes.
Satans Circus was quality! The thing in the train last time however was poor.
Satans Circus was a brilliant maze, i was thoroughly impressed last time so very much looking forward to this.

I really really hope they get plenty of guests to make this worth wild.. They gotta get this advertised proper and get the word out...
