Platform 15: End of the line

Platform 15 returns for it’s final year as it finally comes to the end of the line. As a returning maze, it takes on a new story with some noticeable changes throughout. We were not expecting Platform 15 to be a strong contender for this year but we were very much wrong. The scares were built up from the very beginning with it being quite creepy and tame but as you progressed, it got crazier and freakier. The storyline was one of the best and flowed throughout the attraction and the themeing was still as good as ever. The actors had so much energy and are seriously putting in a shift to give Platform 15 a send off that you won’t forget. Overall, the strongest version of this maze since it’s opened!

Trailers

“Immerse yourself in a dimension of nostalgia as you take your seat and journey into a gruesome and spine-chilling collection of horror classics… but will you make it past the Trailers?”

Trailers is the brand new maze for 2021. Throwing you literally into the theatre as you snippet classic horror films and possibly even past Fright Night attractions. With any maze in it’s opening year, sometimes it can lack in scares or atmosphere but Trailers does not. With so many types of scares, fears and themes being showcased, it was hard not to be terrified. A clear storyline is set with SuperSpark Cinema and the themeing is something not to miss, with each room being very different to the next. The actors can have so much fun in this attraction and it was a great range of scares used that made us laugh, jump and run through Trailers. Overall, this maze is a playground of Fright Nights, mashing up the best of the past and putting some insanely clever ideas together to create this fun, yet scary attraction!

The Crows of Mawkin Meadow

Take a walk through the cursed village of Mawkin Meadow and unearth the origins of the infamous Crows. Trek carefully through the darkened fields of corn and hope your presence goes unnoticed, these folk don’t take well to outsiders.

The Crows are another returning character but this time, they have their own dedicated scare zone. After being so popular last year, they have taken over the pathway by SAW: Alive. They still also roam the park with their numerous spots but if you do not want to miss them, then this is the place to go!

This is now a very creepy walkway and really does add that extra layer to The Crows character. Whilst we found it quite tame and short, it was great fun to see them and not miss them! 

Amity High vs Lycanthorpe Love Bites

The blood-thirsty teens of Amity High are partying at the old Speedway… vibes where high until the students of LycanThorpe gate-crashed the celebrations reigniting the vicious feud between the rival schools. No one knows how this bitter rivalry started or how it will end, but amid the chaos are two star-crossed lovers kept apart by this toxic feud. They say love conquers all, will it win this time? Or will the night end in tragedy?

Another fan favourite to the Fright Nights event, Amity High mashes up with LycanThorpe as they share the same area. With a new updated storyline and a new playlist to their flashmob routine, Love Bites gets the party started this Fright Nights. 

For whatever side you join, whether that is Amity High or LycanThorpe’s, all the actors will make you feel welcome as you enter their scarezone. 

LEgacy

In the 20th year of Fright Nights we also see a brand new show showcasing the past mazes at the event. LEGACY is a 5-10 minute show featuring fire, lights, lasers and CO2 cannons; all set to an engaging soundtrack featuring themed voiceovers and songs of many fan favourite attractions over the years.

Legacy sadly did not open at the beginning of the event in October due to delays. However, it debuted on 15th October and should run daily til the end of the event.

We really enjoyed the display and watched all 3 showings on our latest visit which were the same every time. It’s great to hear familiar soundtracks and also remixed ones to fit with the high energy fire and light sequences. Our favourite sections had to be The Big Top and Creek Freak Massacre!

Be sure to check out Legacy on your Fright Nights visit which runs at 7, 8 and 9pm; the best place to watch is on the beach… what’s not to love about fire and lights!?
