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?!
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
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!
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!
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! 🎉😊
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!
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!
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. 😁👍
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?
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!
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.
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 🎃❤️
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.
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! 😊
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!
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
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
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!
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!
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!
Hi, do you know how to book just singular mazes on the Alton towers website rather than the package with all the mazes? I can’t seem to find that option, Thankyou 😆
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.
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"
Hi theme park worldwide I am a huge fan of your channel. I went to alton towers today with my family and most of the rides were either closed or it was a waiting time of an hour or over to get on each ride. I would really appreciate it if you could give me some advise on when the best times to que for rides are. The rides that I am referring to are thirteen, nemesis, oblivion, wickerman and galactica.
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 🙂
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?
I am going on the 31st. I want to do all 3 mazes but not the invitation but obviously you can't book them online. is there any chance they would sell out on the day or before as I would be very disappointed if I don't get to do them. .
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
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
Hey guys, we are trying to figure out which theme park has the best Halloween event, as planning to go for my husband's birthday. Which would you recommend as the best? Alton Towers, Blackpool or Thorpe Park? Thanks. 😊
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
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 ❤️
@@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’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
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
Hi Sean, do you know if it's possible to book a singular scare maze for 2 people? Since me and my friend want to go in one of them and I've been on the alton towers website and it says I can only book 4, so is it possible to book 1 maze or do I have to buy the 4 maze package?
Hello! I have a quick question I have been to Alton towers several times and just recently received and email from them saying that Nemesis is closed but it is not closed yet, do you know what is going on? 🙂
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. 🤞
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'.
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.
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
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!
Hi shaun, great vlog i would just like to say, do you know wether minetours is returning for 2023, i really hope it stays for one last year, i only got to experince once and i fell in love with it. I really hope so.
a lot of people travel a long way to get to AT for scarefest, I usually go every year but might not go this year as it was quite weak last year, it just seems to be the same year in year out which is disappointing really.
Are there any plans on coming to mainland Europa (mainly Belgium, The Netherlands, and Germany) for Halloween this year or next year? You have to pay extra for most scare mazes but they are so well done.
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
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
Went too scarefest Monday 17th and I thought the 2 scaremazes wasn't that good and the audio one was abit boring but the one with the kraken at the end was absolutely brilliant but Alton towers definitely need too revamp and introduce more mazes and definitely get the scarezones back In the park
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
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!

Everyone stays together

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!

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.

You can indeed in person!
Hello! I have a quick question I have been to Alton towers several times and just recently received and email from them saying that Nemesis is closed but it is not closed yet, do you know what is going on? 🙂
It’ll be closing for a refurbishment and back open in 2024
@@ThemeParkWorldwide thank you I really appreciate it
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!
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.
Do they have dressed up people walking round the park? As in scare actors or is it just on attractions
Only in the attractions and also the Alton Ancestors!
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
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!
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
I was there the sme time as you did you see a lot of people in neckies
Excellent quality 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
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 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!
I can't wait to go! hope it isn't a disappointment this year.
Hi shaun, great vlog i would just like to say, do you know wether minetours is returning for 2023, i really hope it stays for one last year, i only got to experince once and i fell in love with it. I really hope so.
We’re not too sure on the lineup for next year at the moment!
a lot of people travel a long way to get to AT for scarefest, I usually go every year but might not go this year as it was quite weak last year, it just seems to be the same year in year out which is disappointing really.
are you guys going to do whatton house Halloween event
I love the thumbnail today! And I love your content
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!
Just saying, if you haven't done it yet, ring the phone number on the bottom of the 'property repossesed' signs on duel. Brilliant attention to detail
It’s a great detail!
Brill video even though you were disappointed at some of the events. 😁😁😄😄😄😄
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos :D
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!
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!
Im going on the 23rd and im excited for night rides and maybe the scare mazes😂
When do the scare maze tickets get released usually?
Usually just after summer
Are there any plans on coming to mainland Europa (mainly Belgium, The Netherlands, and Germany) for Halloween this year or next year? You have to pay extra for most scare mazes but they are so well done.
We won’t be this year unfortunately
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.
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
Were the other rides open
Yes!
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!
fantastic as always Shawn can't wait until Sunday to get there
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
Great too it again
I'm going today and I was gutted that I couldn't go yesterday
Look amazing im going on the 30th
Went too scarefest Monday 17th and I thought the 2 scaremazes wasn't that good and the audio one was abit boring but the one with the kraken at the end was absolutely brilliant but Alton towers definitely need too revamp and introduce more mazes and definitely get the scarezones back In the park
