Think you’re brave enough for the UK’s first drive-thru scare maze?
FestEvil – which launches next month just in time for Halloween – features live characters and grusome scenes, NorthWalesLive reports.
And it’s being billed as so scary that it comes with a warning for the faint-hearted and squeamish to stay away.
Organisers also recommend only those over 16 go along.
Based in Wrexham, visitors should expect gruesome scenes, blood splatter and unnatural creatures.
Taking place entirely from the car, the event is completely contactless and lasts around 20 to 25 minutes.
How it works
You stay in your vehicle for the whole event from start to finish, where you will drive through a series of scenes from you horror movies and shows.
Visitors will experience “unexpected scares” and live-action terrifying creatures in every drive-thru scene.
A traffic light system will be used to guide cars through the maze – Red means stop your car and switch off your engine, this allows the scene to start and actors to be able to approach your car safely and without being run over.
Green means turn your engine back on and proceed to the next scare zone.
Some scenes are extremely gruesome and organisers recommend ages 16+ for the attraction, although any age can attend at the parent’s discretion.
Once your car enters, you can’t turn around and must complete the maze in its entirety, no matter how scary, there’s no turning back.
The event is completely contactless and lasts around 20 to 25 minutes.
Your car may need washing after the experience as there may be blood splatters on your windows and doors.
How to get tickets
Tickets range from £12.50 to £18.50 per car depending on the date you book.
The event will run every night from October 16 to November 1 with slots available for booking from 6pm until 10pm daily.
No tickets will be available on the gate. You must purchase tickets in advance online.
Tickets are scanned on arrival through your closed car window.
Tickets went on sale at 9am on Friday, September 11 here.
In light of the current pandemic, masks have been “cleverly integrated into actors’ costumes” and characters will socially distance from each other.
Sam Foulkes managing director at Cyclone Events Management and Rock the Park said “We are pleased to be able to bring this unique event to North Wales.
“This type of drive-thru event is extremely popular in the USA and to be able to bring that to the UK is fantastic.
“We look forward to opening the gates of hell and welcoming our first victims”.
