"The road to Hell and back" - Halloween 2010
Posted: 21 Aug 2010, 00:30
Hiya folks.
Been a while since I broke radio silence here in the forum, but since I couldn't make Blackpool I thought I'd ask here about a yearly tradition...
Every year at Halloween, Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and several farms + country parks hold events that include night entry into the park and "Scare Maze" walkthrough attractions. Not to mention plenty opportunities to tangle with a motley assortment of Ghosts, Ghouls, Wraiths, The Undead and murdering Psychopaths! If you've ever done a city ghost walk or something like the Edinburgh/York/London "Dungeons" you get the basic idea.
I'm planning on doing a roadtrip around several of these during the Schools midterm holiday.
--------------------
The Basic Plan (open to suggestion) :-
Wed 20th Oct - Alton Towers Scarefest
Thurs 21st Oct - Travel, Rest
Fri 22nd Oct - Thorpe Park FrightNights
Sat 23rd Oct - Tulleys Farm Shocktoberfest & Homeward bound. Hopefully with all wits and body parts in the same Car or at least accounted for...
--------------------
In previous years, things have been fairly freeform so there's a little room to shuffle a day or so either way but it'll most likely be that week. Thorpe Parks FrightNights in particular start in earnest on that Friday. Accomodation is also widely available along the way and we can try to organise once we know how many are in the group.
A little taster of previous adventures.
A good time has been had by all in the past, particularly the survivors...
Folks have been good enough to invite me out to various things (Hannah, Kieran, Forester, Mog, I'm looking in your general direction) so I thought I'd try inviting any and all to this.
Anyone brave enough to join me for some or all of this journey to Hell... and back? >:-]
