Regardless of views on the the new "artwork", I don't think the budget for some amateur graffiti would come close to covering the costs of any additional actor-based attractions for the 19 days of ScarefestROYJESS wrote: What a waste of the budget, surely they could have used the money to have a couple of scare zones or something else

I could be wrong, but it may look better once darkness falls. Either because of some really clever hidden details, which only become visible with UV or coloured lights, or simply because you can't see the monstrosity in the dark!

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you could buy seperate tickets for the “main” scare mazes online, I can see The Welcoming and HoM online but not Altonville on its own as we want to do that but not Sub Species or Project 42, any advice would be much appreciated!!!!

Alton Towers have now added the details relating to Project 42 from the press release of a few weeks back to their website:
I believe the bit about rescuing the technician is new, however...Project 42 invites valiant volunteers to enter the underground Phalanx compound in a bid to outwit what awaits them inside. The Phalanx requires volunteers to enter the compound, find the vaccination and rescue the technician. Can you get out before contracting the infection?
No, it isn’t possible to purchase single tickets for Project 42, Sub Species or Altonville Mine Tours online. Going by previous years, there will presumably be a limited number of single maze tickets available to purchase on the day though, so it would be advisable to head to the Resort Box Office early on to avoid missing out.Jcoaster wrote:Hey guys,

As Lewis says, it is worth checking with the Box Office, but you will be paying more.
The year Mine Tours opened, I purchased a single ticket as not to spoil the maze as I was due to see it behind the scenes and it cost £8. MAP was also available at the time, so it may be worth asking about that to if you have one!

Some more information about Freaky Funk Squad was released on an Alton Towers related Instagram story.
I actually really want to see this show, as I think it would be quite fun!The new 24 minute rock n roll monster party show will feature a cast of 8 and run 3 times on park per day on an outdoor, covered, large festival stage and 1 x 60min extended version in the Alton Towers Hotel per day. The show will be a cast of 6 vocalists and 2 dancers.

The Project 42 page has been updated with a little more information on what we can expect from the story.
This has made me spring into last-minute speculation mode about how the maze might play out.
Of course, this is all speculation and who knows, I could be entirely wrong!

Spoiler
-Enter Facility via lifts
-Finding the vaccination is relatively hassle free without having too many infected people in the way
-The cure is recieved in a big theatrical scene with the infected appearing from around the room
-Getting out the compound is a task in itself and where the main chunk of the maze takes place, with a hectic feel and the scares coming in thick and fast. Maybe a little seperation but they'll probably save that for sub.
-Finale in a big strobe maze with some pretty intense contact.

I’ve heard the actors are allowed to touch you during the mazes is this correct? I’ve only ever done HHN where they don’t touch you.
