With regards to The Welcoming, i'm not excited one bit yet. The name is underwhelming and I just have this feeling that its going to fall flat. I think they are trying to redo what they did with The Sanctuary and I feel that they are going to mess it up. I hope i'm proved wrong though! So its not j...

if HOM is a free maze that could be why there's no second scarezone? Also do we know where the 4th maze is going? As far as I'm aware, House of Monsters never got sold out in any form, they probably reasoned that they don't need a booking system for HoM this year. To be honest, I kind of hope its n...

Sorry to carry this on but I feel that you are misunderstanding me and I want to publicly present my side of it in a way that isn't being misunderstood before I leave it and get back on topic, sorry for carrying this on. Also sorry to AltonOperator if you thought I was shouting at you, I was joking ...

Anyone have the audio from inside House of Monsters? mainly the music that plays when you had to dress the "ancestors" in wolfboys scene and the music from the final maze section where you get chased by everyone because they want to kill you now! The speech that plays just as you enter wou...

Anyone know if there is any room left in the towers for a 4th maze, because if not then here are my predictions on where it will go! 1-in the hospitality suit near spinball. 2-where scary tales used to be with it being either an outdoor maze, or in the arcade (that shed thing CoS was in) 3-subterra....

Its count-VONDUEL, GET IT RIGHT! Anyway, I don't have a vendetta against Alton or merlin or whatever, I love Alton Towers to death, if I didn't then I wouldn't care enough to criticize them. I'm critical about SW8 because (while its the long awaited woodie) its just another coaster and yeah it will ...

Do you want some chips with that salt, CV?

I think the VR experience looks pretty good to be honest, I do enjoy VR when it's done right as it seems to have been here

Can you point out said salt, I can't see it.
Where did I say anything about the quality of it or about the content in general?

Is Sir Algernon in that VR thing? Because if he is, then it could be a clue as to the theme of the next hotel room refurb and if it doesn't, then it might have something to do with ether the 4th maze at scarefest, or SW8!

I dread to think of what biblical affront the naming department has planned for us this time!
I just noticed the lack of gloomy wood live on the website, its a shame because that was the only half decent scarezone last year

That picture for "Sub Terror, the End of the Naming Department" in the background there is a door, is that the oven door from TotT Bloodfeast?

Interestingly its still advertising a ticket for 3 mazes, think one of them could be free?
Did they advertise "Altonville Mine Tours, Uncover the Legend of the Skin Snatchers" tickets before it was revealed last year?

Only because this is the 10 anniversary, think it could be a return of a past maze? Personally I'm hoping for Boiler House or CoS

Easy mistake to make! Not to brush over the fact that its written in a way to trick you into reading it as dark but yeah it says dusk anyway did you notice how it says "circus of roaming characters" think that might mean we could see some clowns outside freakshow probably not but it stands...

Freakshow! The worst scarezone they have ever had and THAT is the one they are keeping? I just fail to see wh...WAIT! Over 20 rides in the dark! Let's see.. 1-nemmy 2-galactica 3-blade 4-duel 5-RMT 6-sealife 7-mauradars 8-heave ho 9-haunted hollow 10-battle galleons 11-spinball 12-smiley 13-blivvy 1...

I wondered what happened to henry hound!
Anyway were they not planning a scare show a few years back or was that made up? (At the time it was going to be sanctuary themed)

I also think it looks like a burnt ship!
Ship=pirates=mutiny bay=mutiny bay themed coaster=return of pirate show...please?

The speed at which they "fixed that oversight" suggests that they were trying to sneak it past us, keep an eye out guys!

If they have to close splash to force people in to cbeebies hotel then surely something has gone fundamentally wrong at some point, think they will man up and open it for scarefest? Because I can't see ATH being able to handle the standard ATH mature entertainment AND the kids club from splash! And ...

According to the website the 1st 2 days of scarefest will open late (12pm-9pm)

But Isn't splash landings always busy at scarefest, how will closing it at scarefest =more money?
