Alton Towers Resort has revealed the brand-new scare maze coming to Scarefest 2026, promising to immerse guests in a world of fear. The new attraction, named Final Exhibit, will see visitors enter what appears to be a spectacular exhibition of newly discovered Alton Towers artefacts, before being lured into the hidden archive of The Curator, a terrifying figure obsessed with preserving the past.
Final Exhibit: A New World of Fear
Inside the archive, guests will encounter The Archivists, a silent workforce of hypnotised servants who carry out The Curator’s sinister orders and search for new additions to his Collection. Guests will soon discover that the collection is not made up of objects alone. Those who fail to escape are transformed into living exhibits, trapped within the archive forever.
Final Exhibit joins a packed Scarefest lineup, including fan favourites COMPOUND, The Edge of the Forest, Altonville Mine Tours: Tiny’s Revenge and more. Family scare mazes also set to return this year include Trick O' Treat Town and Amigos in the Afterlife.
Win a Family Day Out with Overnight Stay
To celebrate the announcement, one lucky reader will win one night's accommodation in Alton Towers Hotel or Splash Landings Hotel for a family of four (depending on preferred visit date), one-day theme park entry to a selection of rides and attractions for four people, 4 silver fastrack passes and 4 water park passes. The prize is valid on selected dates up to 1st November 2027.
To enter, readers must complete the entry form. The competition closes at 11:45 on 1st November 2026.
