While last year's Halloween festivities already included three Scare Mazes, this year there is another frighting experience for guests to choose from.
The fourth Scare Maze at Alton Towers is a mysterious new attraction that has been largely kept under wraps. Teasers for the new maze reveal that it will be called 'The Welcoming: Be Chosen,' and the description explains that the maze itself will be filled with a mysterious groups that has been "unseen by the modern world." The description for the maze goes on to note that the group is inviting Alton Towers guests to celebrate their Halloween festivities with them, but that it might involve terrifying rituals and even an initiation.
While the description for Alton Towers' new Scare Maze is unsettling to say the least, guests are in for an even more chilling experience if they choose to visit the new attraction.
