This year’s event has received its biggest shake up to date, with extended opening hours and brand new mazes
Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s annual scare fest Journey to Hell returned last week to commence another year of frights, and this year’s event is even bigger and better than before as extended opening hours and brand new mazes have been introduced.
Journey to Hell 2026 has welcomed three newly designed scare mazes for guests to experience, alongside a wider line up of horror themed zones, more roaming entertainment and more rides open at night providing even bigger thrills (Aviktas, ICON, Launch Pad, Infusion, Avalanche, Derby Racer, Ghost Train, Alice in Wonderland and Flying Machines).
In ‘Eternal Abyss’, brave entrants will navigate their way through the lost temple of ‘Angkor Wat’, located inside Pleasure Beach’s 100 year old network of tunnels that were once used to travel between rides. Inspired by its newest ride, Aviktas, an explorer recruits guests on a mission that uncovers the terrifying secrets that lay dormant inside the temple's ancient walls.
‘The Veil’ explores the eerie remnants of a house steeped in grief, hiding a macabre truth. Guests will find a chilling presence still lingers within and face a traumatising realm that connects the living to the dead.
Finally, ‘Deadline’ allows visitors to meet the company with a permanent solution to every complaint, where no one ever clocks out. Etch through its nightmarish corridors and discover the psychological horror that festers inside.
Anyone who purchases a ticket including all three mazes receives a bonus card to experience ‘ICON: Into the Void’; a thrilling twist on the UK’s only double launch roller-coaster, stripping riders of their senses while wearing blindfolds.
For the first time, Journey to Hell has been extended into a day and night event seeing the park open for 11 hours of thrills between 10am-9pm.
During the day, visitors can expect the usual adrenaline-packed excitement across the entire park and rides, as well as Halloween themed fun and a new family friendly scare-maze, ‘Witch Way Out’.
From 6pm, the South area of the park will close and the North area will undergo a terrifying transformation as the main scare zones and mazes awaken.
Journey to Hell will run on select dates between October 17-31. More details and tickets can be found at blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/events/journey-to-hell.
