Scarefest 2025 New Maze Construction Begins at Alton Towers

Work has officially begun on Alton Towers Scarefest 2025, and things are already looking exciting! Back in 2024, two brand-new tents were installed in preparation for future attractions — one next to The Curse at Alton Manor, which quickly became home to the chilling Compound, and another replacing Darkest Depths near the Dark Forest. That second tent has remained unused… until now.

Construction has recently started on a brand-new scare maze for 2025, and while no official theme has been confirmed yet, all signs point to a Dark Forest connection. Could this finally be the maze that brings that eerie corner of the park to life like never before?

Fans are also wondering: Could 2025 see the return of free scare zones throughout the park? It's been a while since we roamed the fog-filled paths, dodging creepy characters — and the time feels right.

While Alton Towers has yet to officially announce the Scarefest 2025 lineup, we don’t expect to wait much longer. With work visibly underway, excitement is already building for what's shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Halloween seasons yet.
