M&D’s Scotland’s Theme Park has unveiled details of its new immersive horror experience as it gets set to celebrate Darktober, a month of seasonal spooky activities.
The ‘Freak Show’, presented by Outbreak, centres around a mysterious circus that has appeared within the depths of Scotland’s Theme Park.
There are rumours that the hypnotist, The Great Koringos, is warping minds and that audience members are disappearing.
Visitors to the attraction will find themselves immersed in the story, quickly becoming part of the show.
Featuring a chilling outdoor setting, colourful horror characters and lots of scares, the award-winning fright show will take place on various dates and times from Friday, October 4, until Halloween.
Matthew Taylor, Director, M&D’s Scotland’s Theme Park said: “Our horror experiences are always unforgettable and the Freak Show is quite terrifying. “Just make sure to bring a pal to hang on to!”
Darktober provides the opportunity for visitors to ride in the dark on a selection of outdoor rides, such as The Twister, Rip Tide, Dancing Galleons and many more, with a special Darktober wristband enabling people access to the rides as many times as they like on the date of their visit.
The ‘Freak Show’ is only suitable for those aged 15 and above or 12-years-old if accompanied by a paying adult.
Online tickets for The Freak Show are from £14.50 or you can purchase a combined ticket for the Freak Show and Darktober from £23.45.
