The drum for the Haunted House ride at Legoland Windsor appears to be complete. The theming for the drum doesn’t look to have been installed yet but the building can now be made water tight ready for the cold winter months ahead.
The theme park season at Chessington World of Adventures has been extended by 4 days, the park was due to close on 31st October. This has since been changed over the past few days with the park now staying open until 4th November 2018.
Flying into Chessington Spring 2019, Room on the Broom will be replacing Hocus Pocus Hall. Opening in 2003 the old 4D attraction has become tired over the years and has been in need of a replacement.
Following the devastating fire that destroyed Pirates in Batavia, Europa Park has been hard at work to remove the damaged buildings and is preparing the area to be rebuilt.
Work continues on the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory building rumoured to be the location for a dungeons style attraction set to open for Alton Towers' 2019 season.
The new ride, built by Vekoma from Holland is a Mad House ride similar to Hex and we were excited to see that great progress has been made.
Halloween season is arguably our favourite time of the year here at Theme Park Guide.
There had been several rumours that there was activity around the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory building so we took a visit to Alton Towers to check it out.
Fright Nights and Scarefest are now less than 1 week away from opening. With Fright Nights previewing last night to Annual Pass Holders the event was a huge success, not all of the mazes opened however the ones that did got good reviews.
Foundations for the stargazing pods next to the enchanted village is progressing nicely. Although not much work has happened around the site we believe that the pods will start to be installed around the beginning of Scarefest.
Alton Towers have released new information and pricing for the new Stargazing Pods opening 3rd May 2019. Prices range between £88 and £123 per-night with annual pass discount. Featuring the bare basics, the pod includes bed linen, a takeaway breakfast and a round of golf.
