Well it's almost been a year since I have posted in this forum. :P
It's good to be back to read about the scarefest though!
Just though I should share this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9oD6BNJJRk
It's Alton Tower's advert for the Scarefest, it's really lazily done though, in my opinion. No matter! I'm just excited for Saturday.

That is the laziest advert I've ever seen! If I was just a regular guy, that advert WOULD NOT entice me to visit Alton Towers Scarefest at all. I'd love to know how effective this campaign turns out.
Yet more "that'll do" attitude from Towers.

The Advert is so poor! It's Altons best time of the year, They should more effort in than that!

On the matter of poor things for scarefest have you seen the Sanctuary logo from the entrance of the maze!
However I plus side is that COS is looking really good this year!

That is shocking! Really they have just went "CRAP WE FORGOT THE TV ADVERT!" and just stuck some random stuff in there. They could have used past footage from last year, or atleast advertised rides that the dark would make a difference with :P
Really poor they may aswell have not made one.
But that behind us and complaining out the way IM SO EXCITED!!!! everything is looking good so far and the zombies! scare zone WOW that is a giant improvement on what was last year. With a completely new Idea of toxic waste ect. longer pathway, better themeing, Thankyou for that alton! now all we need is good ride lighting and everything is SORTED!!

That sanctuary sign is so 70's cheese! Presumably that's the look they're going for but to draw in the masses and portray a terrifying horror maze, really?!?! It's got low budget written all over it! Ill be there Sunday either way!

And yet if Alton blew their budget on adverts every year they'd be slated for not investing it on rides :P
To be fair, us lot are gonna go anyway and I imagine that advert does enough for 90% of the GP! Chill!

I think the Sanctuary is going to blow us all away, that rubbish cheesy sign is just a way luring you into a false sense of security. Has anyone seen 'House on Haunted Hill' with the mental asylum, I think we are going in that direction hereoliviamae wrote: just seen this posted on twitter, a glimpse into the sanctuary!

Looking at that picture, I really hope we see the return of mazes with a narrative.
Ex10 toyed with it, but AT are really the true kings of storytelling in their mazes.

The Sanctuary: different very wacky and daring... Once it's polished for the main event it could be the best Maze Towers have done!

I agree, the idea of the sanctuary is supposed to be 'inviting' therefore this is builds a false sense of security. Even all the writings from the AT website make it sound 'meek'.
None the less still counting down every minute till this 12 days for me!

It is a real shame the Scarefest advert is so poor. Especially when Thorpe are advertising their new maze, The Passing with this https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=633051635387 as an online video.
However, I think if they get the atmosphere and lighting right, we could be in for a fantastic event. Anyone else thinking that the locations of the mazes are much better this year? Much more suited to the individual attractions
