Thorpe Park's "The Buckwheat's Brunch" in 2023 offered a unique twist on the fan-favourite Creek Freak Massacre maze. As part of the park's spooky dining experiences, guests were invited to sit down for a meal hosted by the notorious Buckwheat family, who had previously terrorized visitors in their now-dismantled sawmill.
Despite losing their sawmill, Ma Buckwheat and her family didn’t abandon their sinister ways. Instead, they reimagined themselves as brunch hosts, luring guests into a seemingly harmless meal with the ominous tagline, "What could possibly go wrong?" This eerie premise set the tone for the event, combining dark humor with the unsettling atmosphere that fans loved from the original maze.
Upon entering the brunch, guests were greeted by props and signage reminiscent of the old sawmill, evoking a sense of nostalgia for those familiar with the Creek Freak Massacre. However, not everything was left in the past. The Buckwheats made it clear they were none too pleased about the ongoing Project Exodus, a new development at the park. Subtle references to Project Exodus scattered throughout the brunch hinted at the Buckwheats' displeasure, adding an extra layer of tension to the experience.
While you may not have attended this particular event, it served as a fitting homage to the Creek Freak Massacre, blending the Buckwheat family's chilling legacy with an unsettlingly cheerful new role as brunch hosts. The result was a memorable and spine-tingling dining experience that added a fresh twist to Thorpe Park's Halloween offerings.
