Fright Fantastic at Adventure Island
Adventure Island in Southend on Sea have been celebrating Halloween for several years with their Fright Fantastic event, and recently, they were one of the first UK parks to introduce a scare zone style experience. In 2012 this has been replaced with a full walk through attraction.
Located in a custom built structure underneath the Rage roller-coaster, The Curse of Black Scream is a dark walk through some wax tableaux of torture and horror with a number of live actors thrown in for good measure. There is nothing particularly new or different about Black Scream - it just follows the standard approach to scare attractions with some fun distractions, a few lively scares and some strobe lighting in places. The customers were clearly enjoying it as while I chatted to the designer afterwards we kept getting interrupted by loud screams emanating from within. Even the hardened ScareTOUR review team jumped several times and experienced something akin to a small panic attack as we struggled to get out at the end!
The Curse of Black Scream is a great extra addition to the park at Halloween and with a permanent structure to play with we are sure that the park will be able to add even more to it going forward. As it is - there are 2 rooms in the building which have currently been put aside for Santa's grotto this Christmas used so there is room to expand in the future.
