First spooks

Spooky season is upon us and it’s going to be my very first trip to Scarefest. Well… I’m booked to go for 2 days the weekend before Halloween but need to fix the mystery noise coming from one of my passenger side wheels first. No car, no spooks.

For some reason, i haven’t got an Alton Towers season pass (although I’ve already had 3 days there so far this season) but there was a great deal where I could book 2 days for £44 and on top of that, I’ve booked a Travelodge about a 30 minute drive away from Alton Towers. I know I could’ve booked a closer hotel but not for £32.

Im still unsure about the scare mazes. Do I just book the Terror of the Towers maze or pay for all the mazes? I don’t want to be doing mazes all day and even then, I could do one and think it’s shite (or too scary. 😂). The reality is I’ll probably book a slot closer to the day as I am incredibly indecisive.

I won’t lie, I’m extremely excited about riding Wicker Man and Nemesis in the dark. This is the main reason I’m going to Scarefest. I mean, just a few weeks ago I was making peace with Oakwood being my last theme park trip of the season but all of you hyping up Halloween events has got me curious. In all fairness, this time last year i wanted to go to a big event but didn’t have the courage to go on the big rides and I had to break myself in gently with a trip to Drayton Manor.

It’s going to be a great weekend.

Let me know what scare events you are going to this year…
