Thanks to Xtreme Scream for gifting us free tickets on Halloween Night to bring you these reviews. After missing the event last year, we were even more gutted to spot that their latest maze for 2024, Blutlust, won an award for the best scare maze in Europe. After visiting the maze in 2025 and experiencing…
We were gifted FREE tickets in exchange for this honest review here on Lift Hills and Thrills. Horror at Hinchingbrooke House was easily the most hands-on and longest scare maze we did in 2024 as you weave through Hinchingbrooke school and numerous marquee tents outside along with a whole variety of themed areas full of…
It’s been exactly two years since we were last invited to Pleasure Beach’s Journey to Hell scare event and we left with some very negative thoughts, so negative in fact that we weren’t planning on returning ever again until we saw improvements. Suddenly an email appeared in our inbox that caught our eye and changes…
I don’t even think there should be a category for “Best Theme Park Halloween Event” at next year’s theme-park awards — because if Fear Island at Fantasy Island Resort doesn’t win the award, it’s rigged, null and void. This event is PHENOMENAL! 2025 brings a permanent fear zone which is an immersive themed space complete with a bar,…
Doncaster Fear Factory is back again in 2025 when this time last year it was looking as though the event would be closed forever. Thankfully things didn’t turn out that way and the Doncaster scare event is back again and this year they’ve added two brand new mazes! Debuting at the event in 2025 are…
The Air Charter Expo (ACE), held at London’s Biggin Hill Airport, has established itself as one of the leading annual gatherings for the global business aviation community and we were kindly invited to indulge in the festivities. On the face of it the expo brings together operators, brokers, manufacturers, FBOs, and support services for a focused…
Hossoland is now officially open in Poland as Energylandia is set for some friendly competition in the Polish theme park scene as this fantasy themed park certainly has a lot of positives and potential but how does it stack up in person? We found out. A short 40-minute drive from Szczecin airport (easy to fly…
French theme park Futuroscope kindly invited me over to check out their brand new first-of-its-kind ride Mission Bermudes as Mack Rides have debuted a ride system that combines a water coaster with a rapids ride and a dark ride all rolled into one in what is without a doubt one of the coolest ride systems…
There is a lot of pressure on a theme park when they decide to step out of the norm and build something new, it’s safe to say that Paultons Park took it in their stride when constructing their first ever dark ride. It’s absolutely brilliant! Renowned for its family-friendly attractions Ghostly Manor doesn’t push the…
This week saw Pleasure Beach Resort unveiled their newly transformed S&S Shot Tower now called Launch Pad. Formerly known as Ice Blast, Launch Pad underwent an entire refurb which saw rebranding, repainting and a brand new cylinder introduced into the ride winding the clocks back to its good old best. Riders shoot 20 storeys skywards…
