Scare Mazes for 2025

DeadBeat
It's two minutes to midnight, and the clock is ticking. Will you surrender willingly or dance the night away, embracing what may well be your final night on earth? But beware this is no ordinary venue, here, the music doesn’t soothe the soul; it devours it.

Stitches
Join the Toymaker as she opens the doors to her workshop and gives you a blood-curdling snippet into the inner-workings of her factory. Keep your wits about you though, we’ve a feeling you may uncover some sinister revelations within…

Survival Games
Lost in a labyrinth of shifting paths and no followers to save you, you must fight your way through relentless traps and rooms crawling with The Wrathful. Every corner hides another test, every choice carries a consequence, and only one path leads to victory.

Trailers
Witness the power of film come to life and immerse yourself in a dimension of nostalgia as you take your seat and journey into a gruesome, spine-chilling collection of horror classics in this electrifying scare maze… but will you make it past the Trailers?
Scare Zones and Shows

Lucifer's Lair
Cross over into the underworld and brace yourself for a night you'll never forget. The Lord of Darkness sure knows how to put on an unforgettable show! Filled with wicked live music, and nail-biting entertainment, you won't want to miss the petrifying party!

The Crows of Mawkin Meadow
What begins as a quiet walk soon twists into a nightmare as you trek through the darkened fields of corn praying your presence goes unnoticed. These folk watch from the darkness, their hollow eyes following your every move, and they do not take kindly to outsiders who dare to trespass.

New: Creature Campus – Shock to the System
This year, the students face their darkest hour as a horde of monsters threaten to tear the Campus apart, leaving Medusa’s empire in tatters. Prepare for an electrifying performance that will leave you overloaded, charged, and begging for more.

New: Scare Zone – Revealed Soon
Something lingers in the shadows… a place even the damned dare not tread. This Halloween, we open the gates to an all-new realm - where lost souls wander in purgatory and time stands still. But beware: step inside, and you may lose all sense of where you’re going… or why you came.

IT: The 4D Experience®
You’ll float too…
Summoned once more by your screams! Welcome to Derry, a quiet town where the children seem to disappear. After Bill’s younger brother Georgie goes missing, friendship becomes more important than ever. What they don’t expect is to come face-to-face with an evil, shape-shifting entity known as Pennywise. IT: The 4D Experience® is complete with special effects and 3D projection to heighten the storyline. You can’t escape IT!
Suitable only for 15 years and over.

The Frequent Frights Pass gives the named passholder unlimited access to DeadBeat, Stitches, Trailers and Survival Games from 3pm – 9pm only from 3rd-5th, 10th-12th and 16th October – 2nd November 2025 only. This pass is not valid for private events. The Frequent Fright Pass is a digital pass only. Frequent Frights Passes must be used in conjunction with a valid Thorpe Park or Merlin Annual Pass, plus a pre-booked park entry. This pass does not give access to the park during exclusion dates, if your Annual Pass is not valid on the day of visit an upgrade ticket must be purchased. The Frequent Frights Pass does not extend the expiry date of your Annual Pass and does not qualify for a renewal price. Miss-use of the pass may result in suspension of your pass. Miss-use includes (but not limited to); attempted use by another person, selling the pass, altering the information printed on the pass. Park entry and Scare Maze restrictions apply. Recommended for ages 13+. Free carer Frequent Frights Passes are not available, each person entering a maze must hold their own pass or ticket. This pass does not give you instant access to each scare maze, queue times can be found in the Thorpe Park app.
The Fearsome Four packages are priced the same as purchasing individual maze tickets for the equivalent time slots. The package gives you four hours to experience the four mazes, so purchasing one shot tickets at 3pm, 4pm, 5pm and 6pm would be the same price as purchasing the Afternoon Fear Four Package.
Lanyards can be purchased from Guest Services. Lanyards are available on a first come first served basis and cannot be secured ahead of your visit.
The No Scare Lanyard is only effective during Fright Nights® in our Scare Zones. Lanyards must be worn on the outer layer of clothing and be clearly visible. Be advised if the actor cannot see the lanyard e.g., if approached from behind, or hidden under clothing – they may still scare you. Note, if entering a scare zone please expect loud noises, strobe lighting, and special effects – the No Scare Lanyard does not lessen this.
No, by their nature our scare mazes are dark and intense experiences – therefore actors are not able to easily see No Scare Lanyards and adapt the experience quickly enough.
No, one lanyard per person. Those not wearing a lanyard will still experience scares.
No, only lanyards supplied by Thorpe Park are effective.
No, the Sunflower lanyard scheme covers a wide range of additional needs, therefore those wearing a Sunflower lanyard may still wish to experience a full scare.
That’s cool! Don’t sweat it, all our rides are open as usual – so you do you boo!
Fright Nights® attractions are recommended for ages 13+, however our rides are open as usual, standard restrictions apply.
If you are a wheelchair user and require physical assistance inside our mazes, you are entitled to a free maze entry ticket for 1 carer. You must have a paid maze entry ticket yourself in order to claim the free carer ticket. These can be collected from our team at Guest Services, located in the lower dome, post-1pm. Outside of this, each person must hold their own paid ticket, free carer tickets are not available for Mazes. Should you need any further assistance, please email the team on customer.services@thorpe-park.co.uk.
Of course! Full costume face masks are not permitted; face paint is totally cool though! Note: we do not allow imitation weapons onto the park.
All scare mazes are wheelchair accessible, please speak with staff if you need assistance.
Scare Mazes by nature are intense, they are designed to scare even the most fearless. It is therefore important guests arm themselves with the knowledge prior to buying tickets, allowing them to make an informed decision whether to enter or not.
