Today Thorpe Park Resort announced the theme of this year’s Halloween event Fright Nights. Rumours had been going around for a few weeks that the theme could be Walking Dead and today the park have confirmed it with possibly the best PR stunt.
With almost one month to go before the Scarefest festivities we headed to Alton Towers to check out what has been going on. When we got there we were surprised to see a lot of progress taking place, specifically around the shipping containers of Sub species.
On the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, Thorpe Park has paid their respects by moving the plaque in front of the construction walls of loggers leap. Before her death, Princess Diana and her sons rode loggers leap and other rides on park.
With 30 days left until Fright Nights begin there's still a lot left to do until the park is ready. However, with the theme of the event still unknown, everyone is left guessing as to what the maze being built inside the old cabin in the woods space will be.
What a difference a week makes! Last update there was only one shipping contained and a tunnel, now... it looks much more complete!
Another week another time checking out the SW8 construction, there has been again, a lot of changes on the site.
There has been a lot going on around Alton Towers, Here is a roundup of all new things that have came to the resort recently. New Bar Opens at Rollercoaster Restaurant:
Alton Towers Scarefest is coming around the corner quickly so construction is well underway for the scare mazes, we reported last week that Terror of the Towers will have a new route due to the way the final corridor has been set up. Nothing else visible has changed since.
It's all changing on the SW8 site at the moment with lots going on up and down the site with lots to see. Although there was no work on site with it being a Sunday there was still lots to see since our last visit last week.
Fright Nights is coming! And this year promises to be the biggest year ever.
Halloween at Chessington appears to be undergoing a large shake up this year.
