With Halloween just around the corner, temperatures are dropping, leaves are turning brown and days are becoming shorter.
This can only mean one thing: the arrival of Thorpe Park's most awaited annual event, Fright Night!
Launched in 2002 and running from the 4th October to the 3rd November Fright Night ‘the home of fear’ has since become one of the UK’s most popular Halloween events, with thrilling mazes, rides and shows guaranteed to raise your heartbeat and leave you shaken.
Every year, adults and teens alike can enjoy returns of fan-favourite mazes such as stitches, which debuted last year, and new mazes even scarier than the last.
This year, Thorpe park has introduced a new maze called Deadbeat, where ‘music doesn't soothe the soul; it devours it.’
Set in a nightclub with pulsating music and possessed partygoers, many are describing it as one of Thorpe Park’s most bone-chilling and intricately-themed mazes yet.
However, Fright Night’s once in a lifetime experience isn’t only limited to the mazes.
Riding the towering coasters during the day is scary enough, but what about in complete darkness?
With the recent opening of the UK’s tallest, fastest rollercoaster Hyperia, visitors now have the chance to experience this truly exhilarating coaster at night.
Izzy, age 13, described it as an ‘insane experience’ where the darkness made it ‘even scarier but somehow more fun’.
The adrenaline doesn’t just end here though with Thorpe Park’s designated ‘scare zones’, where live actors make it their duty to take the terrifying experience to a new level.
So, if you think you’re daring enough to face your fears at Fright Night, or if your friends are dragging you along for the ride, it is a great experience to get you ready for halloween.
