The Ultimate Scare Experience

This year, fear lurks around every corner. Our park will be overrun with terrifying scare actors, ensuring a frighteningly good time for all our guests. You’ll encounter them in several ways

• Roaming Scares: Spontaneous scares can happen anywhere as actors roam the park grounds.
• Dancing Scares: This year we are introducing dancing actors to the experience.
• Ride Frights: Some of our rides will have scare actors positioned within them, enhancing the thrill while you’re on board or waiting in line.
• Maze Terrors: Inside our scare mazes, actors will interact closely with you, bringing the horrifying themed environments to life.

Conquer our scare attractions

Get ready for a night of frights and fun! Our five immersive scare attractions await, alongside all your beloved rides.

• Inhumane: Following its terrifying debut in 2024, our newest maze, Inhumane, is back. Enter the abandoned laboratory and come face-to-face with a sinister doctor’s most disturbing experiments. It was a guest highlight last year and continues to deliver chills

• South Beach Institute:  A once-bustling psychiatric hospital is now filled with the restless spirits of its former patients. As you explore the dimly lit corridors and decrepit rooms, whispers and unsettling shadows will challenge your courage. Will you escape the supernatural grip, or become part of its chilling legend?
• Not So Fun Factory: A gang of devious Clowns has invaded the Fun Factory, scaring customers and taunting the brave who dare to enter. Once their victims are vulnerable, the Clowns manipulate their minds, convincing them they belong within the attraction. Soon, they plan to create an army of killer Clowns for total domination of the Pleasure Beach.
• Haunted Hotel:  ​Step into the Haunted Hotel, a place where time stands still and shadows linger. The air is heavy with whispers of long-lost guests, while every creaking floorboard echoes like a warning. Wander through dusty corridors lined with eerie portraits that seem to watch your every move, each one telling a chilling story of the tragedies that unfolded within these walls. Will you dare to uncover the hotel’s darkest secrets or will the vengeful spirits ensure you never check out?
• Snails and Scary Tales: Our loyal Snails have been temporarily hypnotised by an evil spirit, veering dangerously off their usual course. They’ve entered a parallel universe where  beloved childhood fairytales have transformed into terrifying nightmares, with no happy endings in sight. Strap in and pray your Snail snaps out of its trance before it’s too late!

Electrifying Live Music
