The headline attraction is The Edge of the Forest, a new live-action scare maze located in the Dark Forest area of the park. The storyline introduces guests to the “Leshwall”, a sinister spirit said to twist trees and invade minds, while “tree-like creatures” lurk in the shadows. It’s being billed as one of the Resort’s most intense scare mazes to date.

Alongside the maze, a brand-new scare zone called Dark Hollow will expand on the world of nearby roller coaster TH13TEEN. This free-flow walkthrough area will immerse guests in Dark Forest mythology, where sightings of “The Twisted” – creatures punishing those who disturb nature – form the basis of the theme. Unlike the scare mazes, entry to scare zones is included in park admission.

Both attractions open when Scarefest begins on 27 September 2025, running for six weeks.

Returning Scarefest Favourites

As well as the new offerings, several familiar experiences return for 2025:

• Altonville Mine Tours – a long-running fan favourite scare maze.
• COMPOUND – introduced last year, set to make a comeback.
• Burial Ground – an outdoor scare zone with an eerie atmosphere.
• Trick O’ Treat Town with HARIBO and MAOAM – a family-friendly walk-through with sweets and playful scares.
• Amigos in the Afterlife – a colourful, Día de los Muertos-inspired celebration for all ages.

After dark, the park’s headline roller coasters – including Nemesis Reborn and Wicker Man – and the new thrill ride Toxicator – will run into the dark of night, adding another layer of thrill.
