ENOLA at Wasall Scare Maze Review

22 December 2023

Enola

Have you heard of the new extreme horror attraction called Enola? Brought to you by the creators of Walsall Scare Maze, this new sick & twisted attraction has now opened ready for… Christmas? Opening alongside the festive Christmas scare maze at Chrismasacre; The Big Slay, you can also take on this brand new attraction which is not for the faint hearted! 

For those who have not heard of Walsall Scare Maze, they are open every Halloween & Christmas operating a 20+ minute long scare maze for those who are wanting a fright. Whilst more popular over Halloween, they offer a festive addition over selected weekends at Christmas and is one of only a few places that offer this experience during December in the UK. 

We’ve been fortunate enough to experience the normal scare maze over its many themes in the last few years. You can find our past reviews including our 2023 Halloween review by clicking here!

Moving away from what Walsall Scare Maze are known for and do very well, they have taken the decision to open Enola. An 18+ experience which is not your typical scare attraction. Originally due to open the Halloween season, it had a few setbacks to make sure they could open in full force and they did just that in our recent visit this December. 

Below, catch some of our thoughts on what Enola is and our thoughts of this messy, strange and twisted experience!

ENOLA at Walsall Scare Maze Review ()

SPOILER FREE REVIEW

For those who do not wish to have the experience spoiled in full detail, then this is the section to read. Otherwise, please check the paragraph below for the more in detail of what happens in Enola. 

Spoiler free – We arrived with no intentions to do Enola due to what we have heard and rumoured however, this was quickly changed when the team insisted we take a peek. The experience is an upcharge attraction and payment and time slot bookings must be made when on site. Recommended to do after the main attraction of course. It is good to note they open 1 hour after the main mazes closed, allowing for any last minute changes for additional scares. After reading a long waiver and signing our life away, amongst some very strange rules, we could step inside Enola. The experience takes roughly 15 minutes and you endure a story of taking the new drug to feel euphoric but, as every experimental drug has is side effects! As you step inside, you go through a wide range of emotions as you have seen how others have come out and every experience is not the same. You have full control with a safe word and you can still follow the story even if you don’t take part of the experience elements but, that wouldn’t be as fun would it? We endured as much as we could inside Enola and came out an absolute mess. The attraction is designed to make you feel embarrassed, take you out your comfort zones and push you to your limits and it does just that. With such a wide range of characters, scenes and disturbing moments, it honestly was unlike anything else we have personally done. Would we recommend you experience it for yourself? 100%, it will return in 2024 and as much as you can read our spoiler version below, we highly recommend you experience it yourself! 

SPOILER REVIEW

This section is more detailed and shares some spoilers inside Enola, so do not read the below section if you plan on visiting to do it in 2024! 

SPOILER SECTION – Enola is an attraction which has 8 main rooms and designed to take around 2 minutes per room to endure. Whilst we were told this, timings on the quieter nights may be longer or shorter and on our night, it was longer for sure in some scenes. Each scene is different but follows the story of taking a drug and feeling the side effects from it. This started with a nurse waiting room scene as she belittled you and made you feel worthless but, this was in a fun way and was actually very comical. We then went on to meet the doctor and took the drug, we watched some real trippy videos and even think we seen the doctor nude? We then went into a bondage scene and lost our clothing, we met a hairdresser and tried to keep as much hair as we could and even a creepy clown character who locked me in a crib and splatted paint everywhere. There is so much that happens and to be honest, we lost track of how many rooms there was. They used effects such as electric shocks, hair trimmers, guns, water, other disgusting liquids, insects and so on. They went full out and that isn’t everything as they plan to add even more! It is a very messy experience as you can see in our image, as we had paint from head to toe and then were wrapped up before being chucked out so everyone can see. It was actually a lot of fun and the usage of the safe word is what allowed us to enjoy it so much as you can push yourself to do as much as you wished but if it was too much, you said the word told to you and they would stop with the activity / punishment. What we would say is as much as they stop, that does not end the torment. They have plenty to do and plenty to keep you busy, so even when you say it for one thing, keep an eye out for what they may try and do next! For any extreme Halloween lovers and even for those who want to try something a bit more different, then we highly recommend Enola. We have never done anything like this and never thought we would but, we enjoyed it in a weird, twisted sort of way, like how they intended it to be. As long as you don’t mind coming out messy, near naked and maybe some hair shaven off, then go full out. We used the safe word 3 times throughout and whilst I avoided electric shocks and losing any hairs, I came out wet and colourful. We won’t ruin the full experience and all of the activities they wish but there is so much inside, you may get a completely different experience to your friends, so even what we say may not be true for your experience!

Overall, Enola is one hell of an attraction and for it to open at Christmas and provide this level of intensity, they have provided a one of a kind experience for the festive holidays. For somebody who said they would never do Enola, they managed to convince us, and we are glad they did in the end to endure this really unique experience. Whilst there are other experiences similar in the UK that have opened & closed over the years, they have used some cool effects and they are still designing some really cool pieces to add even more terrifying moments for when you may go inside.

Enola was our last scare attraction of 2023 and paired with The Big Slay, we had so much fun during our visit. We highly recommend you get down for the final weekend this December but if not, keep an eye out for 2024.

A huge thank you to the team at Walsall Scare Maze in both the main cast and the Enola cast for providing our final frights of 2023. The team did allow us to experience this for free, both experiences in return for our comments & reviews. Whilst they did provide this, all words are our own and have not been influenced by the gifted tickets.
