THORPE PARK: FRIGHT NIGHTS

8-10 OCT & 15-31 OCT | THORPEPARK.COM

Back and better than ever, brace yourself as a familiar evil consumes the Island once again, as the UK’s premier Halloween event, FRIGHT NIGHTS, celebrates 20 YEARS OF FEAR.

Join the Thrillmakers on 8th, 9th and 10th October PLUS every day from 15th – 31st October 2021 and prepare to be scared senseless with the return of our award-winning live-action mazes* and experiences as well as the opportunity to ride world-class attractions in the dead of night. 

Many of our horrifying live-action experiences will also be back, as guests take in the chilling atmosphere before taking on some of Europe’s most thrilling rides, and with FEAR lurking around every corner, 

SCARE ZONES The blades of Creek Woods Saw Mill are spinning once again, and the deranged Buckwheat family are back wreaking havoc in their pursuit to find new recruits! Watch your back as you pass these vindictive lumberjacks, and hope you make it out the other side of Creak Freaks Unchained!

Oh, and while you’re visiting, why not take a walk through the cursed village of Mawkin Meadow and unearth the origins of the infamous Crows in NEW! The Crows of Mawkin Meadow. Trek carefully through the darkened fields of corn and hope your presence goes unnoticed, these folks don’t take well to outsiders. 

And what would 20 YEARS OF FEAR be without a birthday celebration? NEW! Birthday BASH sees you invited to Hattie and Hugo’s birthday bash… but keep your wits about you, these are no ordinary twins! Don’t be fooled by the bright balloons and shimmering streamers – all that glitters is not gold. Mummy’s spoilt little angels have a dangerously devilish side… maybe you’ll think twice next time you RSVP. 

SCARE MAZES* For maniacal movie maestros, get ready for the ultimate slasher as you enter BRAND NEW horror maze experience, Trailers! The good news? Cinemas are back. The bad? You might not make it through the Trailers. Witness the power of film come to life this Halloween at SuperSpark Cinema – a picture house with a shocking reputation. From demonic monsters to killer clowns, no fear will go unmissed as you find yourself stuck inside a never-ending loop of terror with no escape! 

This year also sees the return of some of the Island’s fearsome favourites, including deserted railroad horror maze Platform 15: End of the Line. Back with a vengeance for one last time, as the haunted souls on the tracks prepare to give park guests a fright to remember, it’s final call for all passengers! Depart on a one-way ticket and trek along the overgrown railway line, the last known route of the vanished locomotive – the notorious Sleeper Express. 

Creek Freak Massacre is also back with a vengeance, asking the age-old question, how much wood would a wood chop chop if a wood chop could chop YOU? Brace yourself and prepare for the gruesome worst as you take on the chainsaw wielding maniacs – will you survive the madness?! 

NEW LIVE SHOW If having your fill of our terrifying Scare Zones, chilling Mazes and thrilling rides in the dark wasn’t enough, then join us in celebrating 20 years of FEAR with a spine-tingling pyrotechnical spectacular like no other – NEW! LEGACY– A Fire and Light Display! Featuring ferocious-fire effects alongside terrifying throwback tracks – this show will take you on a nostalgic journey to past FRIGHT NIGHTS faves, leaving you mesmerised! This awe-inspiring display is sure to end your night of terror with a bang! For more information and to book go to www.thorpepark.com.
