点评:Still the best Scaremaze in the business! My 5th year visiting Dr Frights and its still a 10/10 night every single year. The setup this year was very similiar to last year with them sticking with the more continuous maze rather than the singular rooms of the past and I still think its the better way to do it. This year they did break it up with a couple extra intermission zones every 2 zones or so, which I think again was an improvement on how they did it last year, giving you a restbite to recompose yourself more often than just powering through the whole thing in one go (or to stop sweating to death for 5 minutes at least!). The whole setup works perfectly, arrived for the opening 7pm slot and was in the maze within 10 minutes, the way they let every group go through individually instead of kettling you into larger groups needs to be praised continuously, it genuinely makes SUCH a difference getting to go through in groups of 3 or 4 friends over being thrown into groups of 10s with strangers where you end up missing half the scares, sets Dr Frights apart from every other scaremaze I've visited. The zones themselves are FANTASTIC. Each one is meticulously crafted with fantastic decorations & the attention to detail is insane, its not just thrown together like other venues, everything in there has a purpose, even the bits of cloth or foliage that hang from the roof just low enough to brush your head & give you extra scares are the exact small details that make it so great & other places miss. The lighting inside the zones is once again absolutely pitch perfect! How they can make it the EXACT right lighting level for everything blows my mind, most places just either flood it with light or have it too dark throughout, but here its dark when it needs to be & light when it wants you to see something, absolute masterclass. I also can not praise the actors at Dr Frights enough, every single one of them was fantastic throughout the entire maze, not one of them was phoning it in or missing a single opportunity to scare you multiple times. These events really will give you back whatever you put into them, anyone saying it was boring or dull on their visit was almost certainly being boring or dull as they went through it, if you play along & get scared or excited when the actors appear, then the actors will give you that exact same energy back! I had SO MANY encounters with the actors where they would single out myself or someone in my group to give special attention to because we were screaming our heads off, or actors that would jump out 2, 3 even 4 times in one small area because they would keep getting a reaction from us, even some actors following us out of their zones into other zones just to keep us running, absolutely fantastic effort from everyone involved, just 10/10 performances throughout (special shoutout to the Doll-man at the end of the doll zone for making me sing a nursery rhyme to get a sweet off him. Never did wait around to see if he came back with one when he went to get a kitchen knife though...). With how good this event is, the price of the night still staggers me how it is so cheap, especially compared to other places. The fact you can get in for as cheap as £21.95 is incredible value, even at its most expensive £29.95 I would 100% still call it a bargain for what you get back. The extra decorations at the end of the maze are also a great touch, movie props that you can have photos with, carnival games to try and win prizes on, food and drink stalls plus a bar to refresh yourself at, and you can even sit down and watch live footage of 4 points of the maze where they've set up a camera to film peoples reactions which is a fantastic extra touch. The only minor gripe I have is that I do feel that although the scares are always fresh & you're never 100% sure where they're going to come from, the zones themselves could probably do with a big refresh. As much as they do rearrange the orders & the layouts of the zones each year, if you're a repeat visitor like I am, there is quite alot of the mazes where you'll recognise from previous years, and although the interactions are still fun & scary, taking out a few of the zones & bringing in totally new setups every couple of years would be fantastic (for example the new doll section this year was fantastic as I didnt know what to expect from it). All in all, 10/10 once again from Dr Frights, the best horrormaze in the UK by FAR!
翻译:仍然是业内最好的惊悚迷宫!这是我第五次参观 Dr Frights,每年晚上的惊悚迷宫仍然非常精彩。今年的设置与去年非常相似,他们坚持使用更连续的迷宫,而不是过去的单一房间,我仍然认为这是更好的做法。今年他们确实每隔 2 个区域左右增加了几个额外的中场休息区,我认为这再次比他们去年的做法有所改进,让您有更多时间休息以重新调整自己,而不是一次性完成整个迷宫(或至少 5 分钟内停止汗流浃背!)。整个设置非常完美,我赶在晚上 7 点开门的时候到达,10 分钟内就进入了迷宫,他们让每组单独通过而不是把你塞进更大的组里,这种做法值得不断称赞,与被扔进 10 个人的陌生人组中相比,3 到 4 个朋友组队通过真的有很大不同,因为在后者中你会错过一半的恐惧,这让 Dr Frights 与我去过的其他恐怖迷宫区别开来。区域本身非常棒。每一个区域都经过精心制作,装饰精美,对细节的关注非常到位,它不像其他场地那样随意拼凑起来,里面的所有东西都有其用途,即使是从屋顶垂下来的布片或树叶,它们低到可以扫到你的头,给你额外的恐惧,这些正是让它如此出色而其他地方却做不到的小细节。区域内的灯光再次绝对是完美的!他们如何让所有东西的照明水平恰到好处让我惊叹不已,大多数地方要么光线充足,要么一直太暗,但这里该暗的时候就暗,想让你看东西的时候就亮,绝对是大师级的。我对 Dr Frights 的演员们赞不绝口,他们每一个人在整个迷宫中都表现得非常出色,没有一个人打电话或错过任何一个吓唬你多次的机会。这些活动真的会让你得到回报,任何说参观时很无聊或乏味的人在参观时几乎肯定也是无聊或乏味的,如果你跟着玩,当演员出现时感到害怕或兴奋,那么演员们也会给你同样的能量!我和演员们有过很多次邂逅,他们会挑出我或我们团队中的某个人来给予特别关注,因为我们尖叫得非常厉害,或者演员会在一个狭小的区域跳出 2、3 甚至 4 次,因为他们会不断得到我们的反应,甚至有些演员会跟着我们离开他们的区域进入其他区域,只是为了让我们继续跑,所有参与者都付出了绝对出色的努力,整个表演都是 10/10(特别感谢娃娃区尽头的娃娃人,他让我唱一首童谣来从他那里得到糖果。不过,当他去拿菜刀时,我从来没有等着看他是否带着糖果回来……)。鉴于这次活动如此精彩,当晚的价格仍然让我震惊,因为它如此便宜,尤其是与其他地方相比。事实上,您只需花费 21.95 英镑就可以入场,这真是物超所值,即使最贵的价格为 29.95 英镑,我 100% 仍会称其物超所值。迷宫尽头的额外装饰也很棒,有电影道具可以拍照,有嘉年华游戏可以尝试赢取奖品,还有食品和饮料摊位以及酒吧可以让你放松一下,你甚至可以坐下来观看迷宫 4 个点的现场录像,他们在那里设置了摄像机来拍摄人们的反应,这是一个很棒的额外体验。我唯一的小抱怨是,我确实觉得虽然恐怖总是新鲜的,你永远无法 100% 确定它们会从哪里来,但区域本身可能需要大更新。尽管他们每年都会重新安排区域的顺序和布局,但如果你像我一样是回头客,你会发现很多迷宫都是前几年的,虽然互动仍然很有趣和可怕,但每隔几年去掉一些区域并引入全新的设置会很棒(例如,今年的新娃娃部分很棒,因为我不知道会发生什么)。总而言之,Dr Frights 再次给它 10/10 的评分,这是迄今为止英国最棒的恐怖迷宫!
