Thrilling Frights and Family Spooks
Families enjoyed fun daily live shows and met fabulous Halloween characters, whilst the bravest of souls tackled head-spinning, hair-raising coasters in total darkness and journeyed through terrifying scare mazes, including the return of three Spooktacular favourites and one all-new scare experience!*
Rides in the dark
Our guests dared to take on world-class thrill rides in the dark! They hurtled towards a six-storey high Wicker Man effigy as it spectacularly burst into flames. They flew through the night sky on Galactica then dived into Oblivion in the pitch black!
