Fright Nights 2025 extends the successful 2024 line up!

Thorpe Park have today – for the most part – revealed their line up for the 2025 Fright Nights event. Notably, the park are not removing anything from the 2024 line up, are not introducing a new maze, but instead a new scare zone.

New for 2025

Nothing is yet known yet about the new scare zone, beyond the following blurb:

“Something lingers in the shadows… a place even the damned dare not tread. This Halloween, we open the gates to an all-new realm – where lost souls wander in purgatory and time stands still. But beware: step inside, and you may lose all sense of where you’re going… or why you came.”

This doesn’t give us much indication as to what we could see in terms of characters or theming, but is certainly a new and unique theme for Fright Nights. There is no location stated yet, but the old location for Death’s Doors (underneath Nemesis Inferno’s lift hill) could be a potential option. The park may also try somewhere new or different for a scare zone.

Creature Campus is changing once again for 2025. Creature Campus – Shock to the System focuses on a horde of monsters attacking the campus, leaving Medusa and her Gorgons, who were victorious against the Sisterhood of the Witches in 2024, under threat.

Last year’s four mazes, DeadBeat, Stitches, Survival Games and Trailers, all return, The Crows of Mawkin Meadow and Lucifer’s Lair also return. The Crows are set to roam the park from 3-4.30pm, before heading to their own scare zone, and Lucifer’s Lair will also feature new changes for this year. On top of this, the IT 4D Experience returns to the Sunset Cinema for a second year.

Why no new mazes?

The last Fright Nights in which there was no new maze introduced was all the way back in 2009. There’s a couple of caveats to that: 2010 saw no new maze for Fright Nights, but the year-round Saw Alive was new for that year, and 2020 introduced Roots of Evil, which was a retheme of Blair Witch, rather than being brand new. So this is uncommon.

There is currently nothing known about whether the returning mazes will see new scenes or upgrades. Trailers recently had its exterior repainted, making it look fresh again. There’s also been a couple of new posters outside Trailers’ entrance, which could indicate some new rooms again.

It is also worth noting that the 4 current mazes have been some of the most expensive Fright Nights investments ever. It is perhaps unsurprising that the park want to extend the value for money they get from their construction and initial investments, and it was not unusual in the past for mazes to return for several Fright Nights.

Fright Nights starts from 3rd October, and runs on selected dates until 2nd November. The 4 indoor mazes are all upcharge attractions, starting at £8 per person per maze.
