Last night (Friday) special guests were treated to a first glimpse of what to expect from this year’s attractions celebrating Halloween – and it didn’t disappoint.
Amongst the large crowd of families who survived the night of frights was local photographer Barry Robinson.
"I have never been to anything like this and I have to say it was fantastic,” he commented. “I really didn’t know what to expect but all the attractions were brilliantly staged and certainly had my family screaming on more than one occasion.
"Everyone involved deserves congratulations and if you love Halloween you need to get down there.”
A brand new attraction, a new Fear Island zone location in the park, free live entertainment and a frighteningly fantastic firework display on October 25 are all set to leave you shaking in your boots – if you dare!
Here is what to expect:
Phantoms of Psycho Mansion
A séance gone terribly wrong has banished the former residents and unleashed a family of silly spooks and restless souls of the house’s tragic past, and now they roam the halls, eager for visitors.
12+ ADVISED. Under 12’s will be granted entry if with a paying adult of 16+.

9 Circles
This year, Fear Island invites you to descend into 9 Circles. Inspired by the deepest pits of the underworld, you’ll brave nine terrifying levels of hell, each more twisted and tormenting than the last. But there’s one thing you must remember—though you walk through the shadows alone, the darkness keeps its own company…
This is not an experience for the faint of heart. Those with heart conditions, the young, or the easily terrified should stay far away.
Enter at your own risk!
12+ ADVISED. Under 12’s will be granted entry if with a paying adult of 16+.
Snap
New for this year, within a place, inside a room, there sits a man encased in gloom,
He heard a cry and all went black, Up came the axe and his mind went… SNAP
Step right up… if you dare.
The curtain rises on a show spiralling into chaos, where the laughter has twisted into something far more sinister. A clown, consumed by madness, teeters on the edge of reality—his world unravelling before your eyes. What’s real? What’s illusion?
There’s only one way out… but will you make it? Or will you become part of the act… forever?
12+ ADVISED. Under 12’s will be granted
The Ravenous
Journey into the depths of a secluded cabin and uncover the dark and disturbing secrets of a family consumed by an insatiable hunger. Escape the clutches of the family as they insist on having you for dinner.
