Alton Towers Scarefest Vlog October 2022
Scarefest is back at Alton Towers for Halloween 2022 and in this vlog we check out everything that the event has to offer! This includes our full reviews from the 3 scare mazes along with The Invitation, a new audio experience for 2022. We also share highlights from all of the spooktacular entertainment at the event including live shows on the main stage and the Alton Ancestors! Finally, we take a stroll through the magical Garden Lights Walk: Whispering Souls, along with sharing our thoughts on why Scarefest needs a huge refresh for next year!

Looking forward to going to Thorpe Park soon! It looks really good! Can’t wait to go on the mazes and experience the scare zones too! As you both said, Scarefest seems a bit repetitive now and hence I’ve been put off from going this year. I even thought that The Invitation was going to be a new scare maze and was excited when it was announced but then disappointed to find it was another audio experience. Thanks for sharing your vlog and reviews!

Great Halloween 🎃👻 Vlog Shawn and Charlotte, I completely agree with you about that Alton Towers Scarefest needs to be fully refreshed for next year with new scare mazes, scare zones have to return because they add to the atmosphere of the event like you mentioned. It’s such a shame about this year’s event and I understand why you say that it’s the weakest Scarefest. I’m just going by what you’ve said in your honest reviews
Loving seeing Charlotte getting more involved in the reviews. Great decision to go full time with the channel. It was probably a scary decision but one that has payed off from a viewers prospective. 😁👍

i came yesterday!! i only really went on the rides, but i loved all the theming! i went on wicker man, nemesis, galactica and thirteen at night and im overjoyed that hex is back open!
fantastic as always Shawn can't wait until Sunday to get there
Totally agree with you Shaun and Charlotte, it seems to be really disappointing this year. I’m going on sunday and will only be doing Altonville mine tours (in my opinion the strongest out of the lineup this year, despite being in the lineup for so long). It’s way overpriced for what you pay for, especially if you’re not interested in the shows, the only benefit being the rides in the dark. I would love to see for next year a well themed and long maze based around a butcher where you’re in the back room of a kitchen, I know mazes like that have been done before and it would be good to have a maze like The Sanctuary. Enjoyed the vlog as always though!

Cannot wait to ride nemesis one last time with the amazing red lights, the smiler in the dark is so good too, and an underrated dark ride i would say is galactica, it feels like flying through space cuz of the dark, its much better than a stargazing pod anyway!

Agree with the all the maze’s needing to be replaced, along with also just general TLC is a lot of area’s in the park, it’s seems like they just don’t care how certain things look or come across such as queue lines and things needing painting. Then we also have the flat ride issues, Alton need to have investment and a lot of it across the full park, the hotel is another issue for the price you pay and what state things are. Great video as always!

I wish Scarefest gets fresh new scare mazes next year. :( Good thing me and Chris the Kappa are sharing each other’s scare maze ideas.
Wow it’s beautiful seeing it again, really hope I can get to go. About to play the second game of warcry with my dad out of six.
Great video! I always enjoy all of your Alton Towers vlogs. I also really appreciate your honesty in saying when you think things need to change. Me and Steve are going on Tuesday for our first ever Scarefest we've never been before. Mainly because I'm a huge chicken! I tried and failed twice to make it through Derren Brown's Ghost Train! 😂 But I am going to try and do my very first scare maze this year! I really hope Alton Towers make new changes next year though as it sounds like they really need to. I know I am going to love the family attractions the 5 characters are so cute! We also are going to do the trick n treating and I can't wait to do the rides at nighttime. Wicker Man in the dark is going to be awesome! I'm thrilled that Charlotte has come to this channel full time too! 😊

Great video, I went the day after you on saturday, and i did the scaremazes for the first time ever, like they were my first scaremazes I have ever done in my life, and I thought they were amazing, very scary, and packed with jumpscared, and the acting was nice, but i agree with the head phone one, you didn't really know what was happening, and it was really just the same repeated process, vampire eats someone, then another person, then another
I love the thumbnail today! And I love your content
I experienced my first ever Scarefest this weekend and had an amazing time! The scare mazes were brilliant fun, but I sadly have to agree on The Invitation. However, we got to have a lovely conversation with the actors before entering. They were honestly fantastic, major props to them for bringing light to the otherwise poor experience.

Seems the same as last year so glad going to Thorpe instead. Last time I went before this was in 2013 with The Sanctuary and Carnival of Screams. So much better before. Overall its still a great weekend with the night rides. Always reccomend doing the mazes in the dark though, much better atmosphere. New mazes and duel revamp will make this amazing again. 🤞

Hey! We were at AT Scarefest yesterday for the first time since 2013 and I must say it has been too long. Alton Towers is awesome, and we had such a great day overall. The Attic and Altonville Mine Tour were new to US at least so we enjoyed them, but I can imagine the same thing year after year being tiresome by now. The invitation was an interesting idea, and while we didn't hate it, the length of time we were kept waiting for it was absolutely absurd (30 minute turnaround from one group going in to the next for a 10 minute show?) This ate into nearly all of our after dark ride time, which slightly irked us considering what we otherwise could've done during that time. Apart from that little black spot, though, it was amazing and we can't wait to get back to Alton Towers. We might leave out the scare mazes though, until they get a reVAMP 🧛🏻♂️ Great video as always folks 🙂

Can’t wait to see the Duel update! I think Scarefest is definitely a 1.2/10. I hope they change this problem and if they don’t reduce the prices, nobody will come to Scarefest next year. It needs to be the opposite of what it is to this day. Great update and congrats for the news!

A terrifying review!
The Invitation was way more worse than The Terminal at Thorpe Park. We covered the 4 main Scare Attractions at Alton Towers today, plus the Haribo Trick or Treat which was surprisingly good. From what we saw of Thorpe Park last weekend, it ranks easy number 1 for Halloween between the main theme parks, Thorpe Park is themed for Halloween through the whole Park it feels like, much more activity, whereas Alton Towers is somewhat lacking. However Wickerman at night was really cool tonight, always a good ride. Nice to see you both obsessively touring as usual. If you get to Shocktoberfest, I'll look forward to your coverage.
Awesome video
I went today! was such a lovely day I hadnt been to AT in around 8 years?! insane! but i just had to say goodbye to nemesis 💔 will be sure to go again next year the scarefest is so fun also lovedd wickerman! exceeded my expectations as a wooden rollercoaster

I’ve never really been to a theme park Halloween event but I have to say, towers are lacking this year, the only thing that would make me want to go to scarefest over another day is the extended opening hours, and I love Halloween. Attic does look amazing though, the idea of a maze in the towers really appeals to me, if I were to go I’d probably just do that

Love your Vlogs as always! Keep up the great work!! 👍👍 Personally I went to LEGOLand for their Brick or Treat event on Friday 14th. While I really enjoyed going with my friends, going on the rides again and going on a day where the queues were 10 mins or less, there were some downsides... -The majority of stalls selling food were closed. You had to go into one of the restaurants if you didn't bring a packed lunch. -The ride photo desks had no staff (except Deep Sea Adventure). Luckily I bought a digipass and asked the man at the collection point lots of questions about how to use it, but I feel sorry for any customers wanting to buy physical photos or not understanding how their digipass worked (which then led to complaints to the nearest staff member) -Laser Raiders was shut, which I understand is because there is some much needed refurbishment work going on. But why is Viking River Splash closed so much? The rafts were there waiting in the 'parking bay' of the ride and the troughs had water in. -There wasnt much Halloween theming when walking around the park. There were big pumpkins at the beginning, a brick or treat sign in LEGO City, advertising on the lamp posts and that was it really. I know things may ramp up during the half term and closer to Halloween, and I didn't go into the Monster forest attraction or Miniland. But there were no character meets, and a lot less pumpkins, Halloween themed decorations and Halloween music than I would imagine or have seen on TV in previous years. Just to reiterate I went on a weekday, outside of peak times. And I really enjoyed my day out. But it just felt more like an average day at LEGOLand, rather than Brick or Treat month.

How long was the queue for The Attic? I'm a mobility scooter/part time wheelchair user and although i can manage stairs, standing for a long time is a nightmare. Trying to decide if it's doable. I plan to do it first, so that should help. Going tomorrow. If it's a horrendous wait, I'll have to exit the queue but it'll be disappointing. I've been trying to get info out of the staff for weeks (months actually) but I still don't have enough info to go on.
