The scares don’t stop there. Alton Towers Resort has also confirmed two iconic scare zones returning for 2026. Dark Hollow, a free-flowing outdoor scare zone, plunges guests further into the expanding world of TH13TEEN. In this eerie extension of the Dark Forest, a haunting presence watches thrillseekers’ every move, and lures them deeper into the shadows. Burial Ground introduces guests to The Unchosen, a cult of outcasts rejected by the Wicker Man who now inhabit a terrifying world somewhere in between the living and the dead, and abide by their own rules. For younger thrillseekers, Trick O' Treat Town offers a delightfully spooky walk-through experience where visitors knock on doors along Spooky Avenue and into the Witchy Woods. Families can also look forward to the return of Amigos in the Afterlife. Set in a world of colour and festivity, families will be guided by cheerful spirits on a quest to find their way back to the land of the living.
