Themed around a toy factory with a sinister secret, Stitches takes childhood classic toys and puts a sinister twist on them! The Toymaker is also looking at bringing toys to life or, even worse, turning those who tour her factory into the toys themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a maze introduced 4 years after the park started charging for mazes, Stitches had a lot of money pumped into it. With increased profits being able to be reinvested into the event, and expectations higher, the park went all out to create a highly-themed, story-driven maze, which has both quantity (length) and quality.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unlike many other Thorpe Park mazes, it isn’t as “in your face” with the scares. Whilst there are still jump scares, loud noises, etc, a lot of Stitches is built on creating a creepy atmosphere, making you feels uneasy and scared of what could happen, as well as what is happening. With detailed theming, as well as effects and lots of lighting and sound cues, it means there are scares in every direction.<\/p>\n

The maze has several scenes, significantly more than any other previous maze at the park. These are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pre-show<\/li>\n
  2. Mirror corridor<\/li>\n
  3. Teddy bear room<\/li>\n
  4. Stuffing room<\/li>\n
  5. Giant toys room<\/li>\n
  6. Spider room<\/li>\n
  7. Wrapping room<\/li>\n
  8. Sewing room<\/li>\n
  9. Puppet room<\/li>\n
  10. Store room<\/li>\n
  11. Junk corridor<\/li>\n
  12. Stitching room<\/li>\n
  13. Mannequin room \/ finale<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Some of these scenes are also quite big and feature several actors. Compared to other Thorpe Park mazes, this is one of the most densely packed attraction for different scenes and scares.<\/p>\n

    Another big thing about Stitches is the quality of the costumes and make up. Many actors are in full costumes, including large masks, further pushing the idea that they are life-size toys. Factory works are covered in blood, with old, stained uniforms, showing that Howell’s Toy Factory has been doing this evil work for years.<\/p>\n

    All in, Stitches is an immersive scare maze, and what it lacks in in-your-face scares, it more than makes up for in its dark atmosphere and gorey story throughout<\/p>\n
