This review is amazing and it’s amazing because it is so honest. One thing I will say is that Alton Towers are not stupid. They know they need to step it up. Next year has to be the best year or a Alton Towers can forget it!
Thank you. We’ll always share our honest thoughts on this channel!
Absolutely love that you and Charlotte are living the dream working, travelling and making memories together. You both deserve every bit of success with the channel, Keep up the great content guys! 🎉😊
Thank you!
Hear, hear keep up the great work and all the best for the future
I mean come on. Thirteen unable to run in the rain, the state of galactica queue, same mazes, the invitation dreadful, no flat rides, rides having delayed openings. What is going on with Alton towers man?!
The park really needs some major changes. It’s very weak at the moment and it’s sad to see!
Sadly this doesn’t even mention nemesis disappearing next season, albeit with the slight possibly sub terra is returning. From the best in the UK and world firsts to a fairly average park, it is such a shame. Let’s hope SW9 brings some hope
Getting rid of free water at the refill stations, come on AT 😭
I managed to get on every ride, I went on the 1st day/night of scarefest aswell
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. 😁👍
Thank you so much! We’ve got so much on the way to be excited for!
Went for a few hours after work I loved darkest depths this year ! Fantastic run through 👻🎃❤️
It was great!
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!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Loving the Halloween videos Shawn and Charlotte, great to see how different each park makes Halloween and what they have to offer, hope you both had a frightastic time 🎃❤️
Thank you!
@@ThemeParkWorldwideis the actors gonna be actors out in 23 evtn?
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!
Let’s hope we see them completely refresh the event for next year!
lovely seeing you both yesterday, thankyou for stopping to have a chat! was looking forward to seeing this vlog :)
It was lovely to see you!
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!
i like oblivion in the dark, it’s so intimidating
Rides in the dark is definitely the highlight this year!
You guys dont know how happy you make me feel
That’s great to hear!
Doing 2 days a Scarefest to celebrate hitting 100,000 subscribers 😁 can't wait 😀
Have a great time!
omg I clicked straight away, so excited to go tomorrow!
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! 😊
Thank you!
I’m still laughing at Charlotte’s Woody the Woodpecker impression from the Universal Florida vid 😂
So good 😂
Nice woodpecker impression Charlotte. So excited to watch you’re amazing videos content never fails to disappoint.
Thank you!
Omg no problem
me and my 3 friends saw you we shouted you!! we love you videos ❤
Hope you had a great day!
Great too it again
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!
It really needs some big changes!
I love you guys so so so much ❤
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
No one talking about the fact the ancestors had Chrissy wake up in there dance 😂😂
Hey! we were the girls who shouted you near mutiny bay. we were so happy to see you! hope you had a great day.
So was I!
yeah it was us!!! hope u had a great day
It was great to see you!
Went here last year! Amazing and the scare mazes are extra spooky as always!
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!
I have a Merlin gold annual pass so Alton towers is free I pay 14.99 a month which is really good value for money
Let’s hope we see some big changes for next year!
You guys make me smile. A wondrous thing these days!😀
Thank you!
First time commenting, but have been watching for a while now. Saw you two yesterday at Scarefest later in the evening, thank you for the picture, it was much appreciated! Was awesome seeing you in person and I hope you had a great rest of your day despite the ride problems and the invitation being lacklustre! Thanks for your videos and keep up the awesome work!
It was great to see you!
wow i love scarefest holloween is the best :DD
O was so gutted didn't see you both, we were there on the Friday. We also thought the invitation was super naff. I enjoyed the darkest depths the smells were some kind of rank though. Looks like you had a fab time, minus all the rubbish weather
We hope you had a good day!
I’m so happy I saw you guys yesterday!! I was working at Alton towers in the kiosk opposite blade! You guys made my day! Thank you so much your both so so sweet and lovely, I hope you had a good day yesterday!
It was great to see you!
I'd have to say Knotts Scary Farm is my favorite haunt event
I love how they're always innovating something new every year. The 13 houses and 4 scare zones, the coasters all included with admission. What would you guys think if the Towers put on a crazy event like that?
I’d love to experience that at some point!
i wonder what would happen if you rang the number on the sign saying ‘property repossessed’…
Brill video even though you were disappointed at some of the events. 😁😁😄😄😄😄
Thanks for watching!
They need to add scare zones back and imagine a scare maze in the aboned toilet block in the gardens would be so spooky because there’s aready area in the gardens that are spooky
Scare zones are really needed to add more to the event!
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.
The signs on the games area fire exits…..locks them shut 😮😅
Oops! That’ll definitely need looking at!
Love the new Scarefest mug!!...shame that its the only decent new thing this year. The queue sign for The Invitation specified strobes and smoke but neither seem to happen!
The new mug is fantastic! Unfortunately it’s a very weak Scarefest this year and feels very stagnant to which is such a shame!
Love you guys! 🎉 make my day when you post your videos! You’ve made me fall in love with theme parks all over again.
Thank you so much!
Theme park worldwide Cool
I hope they bring scarefest back to its best like 2015
This will be fun!
Thank you!
I was marathoning Nemesis in the dark all night and never saw you! 😢 She was absolutely ripping through the layout tho
me too!! i need to get every ride on nemmers i can possibly get!
Hope you had a great evening!
I went to Alton with on the 24th September with platinum it was absolutely fantastic ❤ it was a first time we got in 18 roller coasters
Yeah week after next I am in the park for 3 successive days..last 2 with platinum fast track..would not go without one now..absolutely brilliant walking onto every ride near enough no matter how busy..last scarefest I rode wicker man one night at least 10 times in the dark.fantastic
It was amazing to see you and Charlotte at screamfest last night your always really friendly and willing to talk I'm heading to towers tomorrow so hopefully the mazes are ok i completely agree they definitely need to invest more in scarefest
It was great to see you! We had a fantastic time at Screamfest and our vlog will be on the way tomorrow!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide thank you for responding and I can't wait to watch the vlog
I need to go back just to see Duel I’ll miss going on Duel in the dark
I love the thumbnail today! And I love your content
Heyy shawn and charlotte! Love your videos. Are you guys going to walibi fright nights this year? I really recommend it!! ❤❤
In the Netherlands 😊
Not this year unfortunately however we would love to in the near future!
I just woke up and I’m treated with a tpw vlog from my fav park in the uk :)
You woke up just in time! Never been earlier to a vlog
Thanks for watching!
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!
Hey guys kinda out of topic but does anyone remember those Cbeebies nighttime screens? Yknow The ones that would show after the goodnight show?
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
Let’s hope we see them improve the event next year!
Thanks for saying hello today on smiler made my wee girls night!
Great to see you!
Always put a smile on my face
Thanks!
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
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.
Love your videos :D
Whilst people keep paying the up-charge, Alton Towers will not need to rush to change anything. The fireworks are the best, and the best value.
Fireworks is amazing and we can’t wait for that event to start!
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.
That’s great to hear!
I’m going this 30th of October and I’m interested to know do u get separated in the invitation like sun species or is it different?
Everyone stays together
Im going on the 23rd and im excited for night rides and maybe the scare mazes😂
fantastic as always Shawn can't wait until Sunday to get there
Happy halloween Shawn and Charlotte hope you have a spooky time at Alton towers stay safe and healthy and keep up your amazing videos have a spooky day 🎃🤡💀👻 the characters dancing they must be melting in there costumes
Thank you for watching!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide omg your my favourite TH-camrs omg
I’m so exited
Scarefest is the best!
Charlotte: Oh my god, we're back again...
Shawn: Yeah we're back again with the same mazes!
🤣🤣 keep the good work going, guys. Big fan of the channel.
Thank you!
Look amazing im going on the 30th
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 🙂
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Looks amazing 👻
It was very nice to meet u 2 at the inventation maze thanks for the photo I agree with u 100% that it's goin stale hopefully they don't bring back the inventation it was more weird than creepy or even scary
Great to see you!
yeah i agree that stuff needs to change, but they do say we like to keep it original for the new comers, but i feel they are up to a change shift
Let’s hope we see them make some big changes!
wait in the UK you have to pay extra for all the mazes. At kennywood you only have to pay extra for two mazes and the rest are included with admission.
I don't usually bother with much Scarefest merch but I'm tempted with the pumpkin smiler mug
Hope Alton Towers/Merlin watch these vlogs, you give very useful information and tips for improvement. Great vlog as always!
Thank you so much!
LOve this going soon and so extided
I can't wait to go! hope it isn't a disappointment this year.
Hello Theme Park worldwide I love your videos I’ve been watching you for a long time I remember that planet coaster theory in American one it was a good Crimbo keep up the good work uploading good video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
I went yesterday and I Road Rita for the first time, is it just only good on front row or is it good everywhere as I got it on front row
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.
There was no queue when we experienced it!
Thanks for your very honest appraisal of the event. From what I saw from last years vlogs, the Alton Towers effort looked the weakest and it appears that they have complacently rested on their laurels this year too and not made any real attempt to improve. The "trick or treat" entry fee is a disgrace and I hope the whole event is a failure this year so they HAVE to completely re-evaluate and change what they do for next year. For Britain's largest and most popular theme park, they should be ashamed by their "efforts"
Thank you for watching! We really hope that the event changes for the better next year!
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. 🤞
Let’s hope we see some big changes for next year!
Excellent quality 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
are you greeting your fans, i saw the two girls standing there wanting pictures with you and charlotte, you are quite the celebs!!
It’s always great to meet people that enjoy our videos!
Can’t wait to go to scarefest this year, I went last year and it was just amazing
Have a great time!
Thank for 🎃vid I hope you guys had a good time..
I’m disappointed that your Scare Fest Vlog didn’t cover the Duel news. Since the news broke yesterday I’ve become even more exited. I called the number and it was amazing
He will probably do a seperate video for it! He recorded this friday and uploaded it today so probably not enough time to edit that extra stuff in either ❤️
@@bingbongclankiecloop was this yesterday or the Friday before?
@@georgekoshti_richman1392 they did this vlog yesterday ☺️ the first day of scarefest
@@bingbongclankiecloop I really cannot wait for the Duel update!!!!
@@georgekoshti_richman1392 he mentions at the end of the vlog he will do an update for it so you'll get a full video from them soon! Called the number and it was pretty cool!
i’m going to be going on halloween 👻 it’s sad to see the mazes being so repetitive but still good to enjoy it 😊
We are there on Halloween too 🥰😃 have a great time 🎃
I'm going today and I was gutted that I couldn't go yesterday
Yes, i agree the Kids trick or treat sweets collection trail is over priced. You can get two tubs of chocs' from the Supermarkets for £7...1300gramms of chocs'.
It’s very expensive for what it is unfortunately
Looks amazing Shaw and Charlotte 💜💜💜
Ididn't like Thorpe Park's audio experience (Terminal). I think we were a bit too positive about it really on hubby's channel (Plus Parks & Attractions) but hey, not my channel. Do these Merlin attractions share the same technical directors for the entertainment side?
Usually so!
It's 15 years of scarefest
I'm very excited
A terrifying review!
Super excited for Halloween 🎃😃😇
Awesome video
Loving the halloween vlogs! 🎃
Thanks!
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.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Do you know if the entrance next to galactica is open throughout the day? Would be so handy to pop back to the hotel half way through the day.
It is!
im literally on the road on my way back from alton towers. it was amazing! :D
Hope you had fun!
Hi tpw love the vids
one thing i'll say about the trick o treat is don't bother if your vegetarian, when I went last year I asked for vegetarian sweets and was met with a disgusted look and given a few lollipops, nowhere near as much as my meat eating sister got. In the end I wish i'd just kept the meat sweets and given them to my younger sister, as in the end I couldn't eat the lolys they'd given me anyway
Sorry to hear that!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide to be fair, my sister did get more than her fair share of sweets out of the experience
This is exactly why I go for fireworks instead, no point at all going for scarefest when for several years it's just the same old and this is coming from someone who utterly adores my local theme park being just 20 minutes away
Fireworks is such a brilliant event and it’s fresh every year!
