Efteling have added a brand new show for 2026 and we were kindly invited to the park to check it out and bring you our thoughts! Magicaluna is showing several times a day within the Efteling Theatre as this 20-minute non-verbal show is certainly an unusual showcase of magic, mystery and illusion. The story follows…
Danse Macabre at Efteling is one of the world’s most immersive and atmospheric dark rides and finally in 2026, a whole two years after its initial opening back in 2024 I finally got to check it out firsthand. From the moment you enter the new Huyverwoud forest area there’s a real sense of tension and…
Thanks to Efteling for gifting us free tickets to provide our honest review on this brand new ride. Efteling always go above and beyond with their attractions and Hooghmoed, a family drop tower which opened this year is absolutely no different. The new family drop towers are a perfect example of what the park does…
All aboard Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! The wildest ride in the wilderness reopened May 3 at Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World with new magic following a mountain-top to cavern-deep refurbishment, ensuring the classic fan favorite attraction will delight guests for years to come. Now this new refurb is part of a major Magic Kingdom transformation with construction…
Manufactured by Triotech Into the Deep is one of two dark rides that reside at the recently opened Six Flags Qiddiya City in Saudi Arabia. The ride is located in the Discovery Springs zone of the park as guests will embark on an underwater expedition to restore life beneath the waves. If you’re building a…
A collaboration between Jora Vision, ETF Ride Systems and Alterface as The Enchanted Greenhouse easily shoots to the top of the pile as the best dark ride within Six Flags Qiddiya City. Walking into the beautifully luscious queue-line of The Enchanted Greenhouse tees you up for what you’re about to witness and it really is…
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,…
