It’s Hattie and Hugo’s birthday. But these twins grew up spoilt and with an evil side, which they will share during their big birthday bash.

Birthday Bash was created for Fright Nights 20th anniversary, and carried on for the 21st. The zone focused primarily on the stage show, but was also a traditional scare zone with actors roaming around.

Unlike other scare attractions, the characters in themselves weren’t scary, but instead would do scary, or bad, things. For example, there was a princess (who, in story, was hired for the party), but she was drunk. There were entertainers who would do bad things. And there was a piñata who would always get beaten up.

The stage show, a 15 minute performance centred around the party, was the first at Fright Nights to feature live singing. It featured some dark and crass humour, which may not have been to everyone’s liking, but filled a hole which the park had never addressed before. And this has paved the way for future scare and entertainment zones, like Lucifer’s Lair, to bring the concept to life!

Birthday Bash was a fun way to celebrate ‘bigger’ anniversaries for Thorpe Park’s Fright Nights, and featured some cool visuals and jokes along the way!
