Blackpool’s Pleasure Beach Resort has today announced the biggest shake-up in the history of its scare event, Journey to Hell.
For the first time ever, Pleasure Beach will introduce a brand new format that transforms Journey to Hell into a full day and night experience for Halloween 2026.
The event will no longer require a separate evening admission ticket. Instead, visitors can purchase a regular park eTicket and enjoy 12 hours of thrills, chills and entertainment as the park opens from 10am right through to 10pm.
And aligning with other scare events across the UK, the Scare Mazes will now operate as optional, which guests can purchase either as a best-value full package with their eTicket, or buy individually.
From morning until early evening, Pleasure Beach will provide daytime thrills across the entire park, including family-friendly Halloween fun and a brand-new family scare maze, as well as the usual adrenaline-fulled coasters and rides.
At 6pm, the ‘South Park’ area of Pleasure Beach will close, and ‘North Park’ transforms as the main scare zones and late-night Scare Mazes awaken.
Immersive live entertainment will take over the park, alongside night rides on brand new ride Aviktas, as well as Launch Pad, ICON, Big Dipper, Infusion, Derby Racer, Alice in Wonderland and Ghost Train.
A live DJ and roaming performers will add to the electric after-dark atmosphere.
Guests now have a variety of ticket options to choose from, allowing for better value and greater flexibility. These are:
- Full Day Journey to Hell eTicket + all Scare Mazes (10am until 10pm): From £57.00
- Nighttime-only Journey to Hell eTicket (from 6pm) + all Scare Mazes: From £50.00
- Full day Journey to Hell eTicket – no Scare Mazes (10am until 10pm): From £32.00
Guests who purchase the full day eTicket without Scare Mazes can buy individual maze tickets on the day if they choose to, although the ‘Full Day Journey to Hell eTicket + all Scare Mazes’ represents the best value.
Season Pass holders will not need to purchase a separate Journey to Hell eTicket as entry is included with their pass, but will need to purchase Scare Mazes separately.
Individual Scare Mazes are priced at.
- One scare maze: £15.00
- Two scare mazes: £25.00
- Three scare mazes: £30.00
- Family scare maze: £5.00
Maze themes and further details will be announced at a later date.
Journey to Hell has become one of our most popular seasonal events, and we want even more people to be able to experience it.
Amanda Thompson OBE, CEO at Pleasure Beach Resort
this new format offers greater value and flexibility, and means visitors can enjoy a seamless transition from day to night.
For those brave enough to take things further, our scare mazes are available either as a full package, or can be booked individually if you’re feeling brave on the night.
Journey to Hell in 2026 will be bigger, bolder and more terrifying than ever – and this is only the beginning.
