    We were also there this Friday/Saturday. Compound was easily the best maze there, so much fun. To be honest, having done HHN a number of times over in Orlando I'd say the houses there are actually less scary than the Alton/Thorpe ones as instead of going through in small groups it's usually one big line of people so there's less chance for something to surprise you.

    I feel as if you tell it as it is without the constant name dropping of the park, I mean the parks have their branding all over in pretty much every shot.

    My son and I did Compound on Friday night. Pretty decent despite being locked in that pod at the start (was very uncomfortable with that) and then bashing my head on a wall (leaving a big scar) after venturing through the ‘freezer’. I got out pretty quickly, somehow, so didn’t experience as much as I could have. But… that bash on the head was the best thing that could have happened to me as it banished all my coaster fears the next day and I went on everything, something I had never done previously.

    Also, fair play on the drive mate, I mind driving down from Ayrshire with a mate my daughter and her pal, left about 5am and drove straight to Towers with zero stops, after spending the full day in the park I then drove to Blackpool, the other three all fell asleep and when I arrived in Blackpool I was shattered, good few years ago that as my daughter and her pal were still in High School, both now nearly 30 - lol.
    Thanks again fella.

    I hate scare mazes I'm going to towers soon and I need tips to get over my fear I can do burial ground because its a scare zone I've done it many times it's fine but I hate mazes so can you tell me what order I should do them in and one more question is compound and daz games one your own or do you meet up with people at somepoint in the maze

    • @coaster_dad
      @coaster_dad  3 місяці тому

      Mmmm as I said in the video they are all very different:
      Attic is quite dark and you go through in a line of people. I could see all the curtains so you can tell where the actors are
      Altonville mine tours is even darker so very very hard to see and more jump scares
      Daz games is very bright and flashy and is a proper maze where each person is on a seperate mission. Now I teamed up with my partner because she didn’t want to do it solo
      And compound is great and ties in really well with nemesis. But there’s parts where they separate you (you do meet back up) and lots of flashing lights and shouting.
      Not sure what order to recommend but hopefully those descriptions help. I was also pretty nervous/scared going in as was my partner but now that we’ve done them and know what to expect I don’t think I’m that bothered any more.
