The award-winning theme park is gearing up to host Boo for You! over October half-term, ending with a ghoulish Happy Halloween day of tricks and treats for all ages. When you enter the grounds of Pleasureland, you’ll find the pathways and gardens loaded with pumpkins, and along the way you’ll bump into bats, spooky scarecrows, cackling witches and other ghostly characters. his year he will unveil a preview of his 2017 18+ scare experience, after dark in the park – which will take over after the family-focused ‘happy’ watershed. Terrifying scare houses are now under construction in the park and will open when the audience changes from family to adult and flips from fun to fear. He said: “Southport still has an opportunity to put itself on the map as the premiere, totally immersive family-friendly scare experience. Mark my words, Southport has to be on its toes now, everyone must pull together and do our bit for the town at Halloween. “Putting on something people are going to make a special journey for, and linger on after, requires vision and investment. It has to be done properly and for that you have to look to people who have theming as a core skill. I invested in extensive research internationally before launching the Happy Halloween experience, and I’ve done the same with the new adult scare attraction, working with consultants and my own creative team. “The growth of Happy Halloween at Pleasureland has shown there is an appetite for this, if it’s properly resourced and professionally delivered. People come, and they contribute to the local economy.”
