Tips & Advice
- Arrive up to 45 minutes before your selected departure time to allow for parking and boarding, especially if you have a larger group or need to arrange wheelchair access.
- Consider the 'Scream Train' for those aged 18+ if you're looking for an even more intense scare, as it's a separate, more frightening experience.
- While children under four travel free and receive a goodie bag, be aware of the 'advice for parents' regarding jump scares, loud noises, and periods of darkness.
- Buggy use is discouraged; if you must bring one, ensure it can be folded down and stored on the train to maximize space for all passengers.
- Book your preferred seating arrangement (compartment of six, four, or tables for two/four) in advance, as availability is limited and specific to your group size.
