Alton Towers Scarefest 2021 Vlog

Scarefest is back at the Alton Towers Resort in 2021 with 4 scare mazes, a brand new interactive walkthrough and plenty of awesome entertainment! In this vlog we capture everything the event has to offer, including reviews from the 4 scare mazes.

I really appreciate Shawn’s willingness to constructively criticize even his favorite parks. You know your going to get a real review, not just some infomercial.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. We’ll always share our honest thoughts! Honest feedback is also very important for the parks so they know where to improve!

[@fwutig1121]

I agree, but it isn’t a review.

[@narrowboatmoonshine]

Glad we met you yesterday. We loved the mazes, but was our first time. The mines was best and Toxic Junkyard was not good at all. Expensive at £30 each on top of entrance. Rides in the dark were awesome and low line times. Loved the music around the place, we quite like that kind of music. Worth the visit and staff were brilliant all day. Loved the honest vlog as always.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Glad you had a good time!

[@millieseymour1823]

was so so excited for this vlog!!! honestly looks so so good im going next weekend so hoping its as good as last year

very good filming Shawn from Scarefest is back at the Alton Towers Resort in 2021 and good lighting as well around the park when it got dark, very good vlog, very big thumbs up to you both.

[@HarryJSmith]

Most likely not going to go this year, however I love how the stage has developed from a small set up one at the front of the park, into a full scale year-round stage for performances at any time of the year! Looks incredible as always

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The stage is amazing this year with the new entertainment!

Got to go to one of those, never been to Scarefest and would love to do Oblivion, Nemesis and others in the dark. Wicker man looked amazing.

Hi, I was the one at the end of scarefest who asked I know you from somewhere. Good to see you.

[@DisneyMarkUK]

I’ve never done Scarefest before so I’d probably enjoy it, especially if they’re not too terrifying. Fab vlog as always guys.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a fantastic event if you’ve never done the mazes before!

[@aronwood4178]

Really surprised they didn’t use the nemises sub Terra building would of been great to have a 4th maze. They must have something planned for it next year

[@totallyrheesworldco4837]

my favourite time of year to go to theme parks is halloween cus they get all the good songs out just for me lol :D

i went yesterday and i was walking down towers street and i was so shocked to see you two, i don’t think you saw me but i was really happy

My cousins saw you yesterday and got a photo with you! I’m going tomorrow, this will be my first scarefest I’m so excited!! Fab video as always Shawn :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@helwig83]

I love that you always provide an honest, impartial review of parks and attractions. Scarefest definitely seems quite flat this year, hopefully they'll take on board some of the negative feedback and make next year's event better - bring it back to how it was 4/5 years ago when it used to go TP a run for its money!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

I'm going to scarefest next week. Never been before and I cannot wait to get on Wicker Man at night.

[@jennazamora5174]

Absolutely love your videos and how honest you both are about your experience. I am going to be at Scarefest on Halloween night and I am really looking forward to it even more so now! The only thing I was dissappointed about was when I heard you say that kids are free in trick or treat town as I bought my 4 year old a bag as well as the adult ones! Hopefully will get refunded on that. Looking forward to watching your thorpe park video now! :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Have a great time! I’m sure they’ll refund you for that!

[@themultiplechristopher8066]

Lol I love rock music 😀 but maybe not in that setting. Hope you two had a fabulous time.

[@laceypage8449]

Personally, the rock music is AMAZING. I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but at night it really works well with the lighting and the buildings! :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@Zach-On-Track]

It truly is amazing, but sadly we've only been allowed it for a day or two. I guess we must be grateful for that to our pop music loving overlords who can't stand other people liking something else and having a turn.

[@ridesoftheworlduk]

Can you buy the maze tickets on the day or do they need to be purchased along with your entry ticket online?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

You can aslong as there’s availability

[@squidwardshouse5431]

Never thought I'd hear Enter Sandman and the Alton Theme mashed up, but I now need this on Spotify

[@narrowboatmoonshine]

That was a good track, there was a heavier version of Dont Fear The Reaper as well playing.

[@lorrainedowning7670]

I personally really liked the music. Heavy metal version of Bad, and Ghostbusters? Yes please!

[@SpearmintTyger]

I've only done mine tours from the existing mazes as I haven't been for a while. Would you say it's worth going this year to experience the other mazes even though you were slightly disappointed at the lack of change from last year? Thanks

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s definitely worth doing them if you’ve not experienced them before!

[@SpearmintTyger]

@@Soulsalivation the attic was my favourite! Mine tours was a bit short with no real finale. Junkyard was awful but would have been a lot better at night

[@katiealice7218]

Hi Shawn, what would you recommend leaving til last at both Alton towers and Thorpe park? Excited for some night rides over the Halloween season!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Night rides on The Swarm at Thorpe Park Wicker man at Alton!

[@ltmusic1988]

this is my first time ever going to alton towers as i normally go to thorpe park and scare fest looks like its going to be great! im looking forward to hearing the metal and rock music but i understand its not for everyone great video as per usual

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We felt that the rock music didn’t fit with the atmosphere of the park in the locations it was playing. The park have since removed this music and returned to the usual Scarefest tracks!

[@ltmusic1988]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide completely understandable as they have to go with what the majority would be wanting to hear and what would probably be more suitable for younger people in the park it's always a gamble when places play music of that manner but none the less Im still looking forward to scarefest and my first ever trip to Alton towers!

[@crocky2228]

Looks amazing!

Gutted I didn't see you both yesterday 😔. Had a really great time and thought nemmy back row far left was just the best ride I've ever had 👌🏻.

[@WeePinkGin]

Fantastic that scarefest is back, first went in 2012 when they had the zombie run which was amazing. Returned 2 years ago with a friend and we stayed for 2 nights, amazing to do the rides at night (we did smiler and wickerman) hope to return next year.

[@lmn_gr]

Well Uhm I might be going Alton towers in a couple weeks and so I wanna go on smiler but personally from someone who has been on it what’s it like?

[@WeePinkGin]

@@lmn_gr how exciting! Hope you have a wonderful time! 8'D The smiler experience is really fun, the build up with the queue and the theming really sets the mood of the ride. It's gimmick is lots and lots of loops and twists, sometimes you can't tell what way is up so if you're fine with loops defo the way to go. The rides spectacular at night with all the lights, if you're staying late it's one ride worth the queue.

[@lmn_gr]

@@WeePinkGin thank you so much! It’s just because for my 10th birthday I went to pleasure beach (just on Saturday) and went on the Pepsi max was literally in shock after it it’s so scary I didn’t really know if I could do any Alton tower rides but thank you I will have a go on some of the rollercoasters there :)

[@WeePinkGin]

@@lmn_gr Happy Birthday! What a wonderful way to spend your birthday 8'D I uderstand as I was the same at 11! Pepsi max was my first big roller coaster, the height is definitely scary but it's such a wonderful view at top. It really is a wonderful feeling to conquer and it opens up a whole world of roller coasters! 8'D If you're nervous about upside down rides, my first time was on Galactica/Air at Alton Towers when I was about 12 (loops used to scare me a lot). You become a bit like superman and you fly through the air but its very very comfortable, my nervs turned to chilling cause it's so relaxing? x'D I immediatly ran to ride it again! Alton Towers has a lot of different types of coasters and experiences and once you go on them all you want to go on them again and again!

[@lmn_gr]

@@WeePinkGin well yes thank you for saying happy birthday when I go I’ll definetly go on nemesis,galactica,smiler (maybe),wickerman and a lot more I’m actually quite lucky because I’m 10 right now and I’m quite tall for my age average 10 year olds don’t wanna get on any of the coasters I get on mainly because there scared or there just not tall enough for the rides, Then again I’m pretty scared of the smiler and even my parents don’t wanna go on it but To be fair my uncle likes a lot of rides like Rita so I’ll probably have to go on them ☺️.
