Our Scarefest day at Alton Towers. Very busy and queue times very long. There were a couple of school trips which added to queue times. The Final Exhibit scare maze and the Burial grounds scare zone were amazing! The actors were so good and brilliant jump scares. Rides like Nemesis reborn and Wicker Man broke down a couple of times which added to time waiting. Alton Towers could do with a couple of flat rides as there was no point going to Dark Forest with Rita and Thirteen being closed for essential maintenance. If you're planning to go to Scarefest then be prepared for busy rides and long queues.
