attraction is targeted at guests 12 years or www.scareworld.co.uk older, although the nature of the mutant encounters were, in some respects, less scary than the Dino Haunt tour. There are a few good startle scares, which are best left a secret to not ruin the surprise. Nice use of an existing attraction, with the mutants guiding the way through the maze to prevent guests literally getting trapped!
Overall opinion – For the price, PrimEvil is good value. The park’s assessment of the three attractions is that on a scale of 1 (less scary) to 5 (very scary), Dino Haunts scores a 1, Maze of Mutants a 3 and Insanitorium a 5. We wouldn’t argue too much with that, but parents of younger children will need to judge if the dark interaction with live actors is the sort of thing their children would like.
Sec tion title
A special mention must also go to the park’s Fire Performer, a real character, very entertaining, and the way he interacted and ad-libbed with the children was a real joy to watch. As we left the park he was in the gift shop entertaining guests with a crystal ball and some balancing tricks – was well worth watching - a very funny guy indeed.
Insanitorium Billed as the park’s most terrifying attraction yet, Insanitorium is not recommended for guests under 12, pregnant or those with a heart condition or nervous disposition. The residents of the Insanitorium have been there a few years and have gone a little crazy… visitors to this attraction face the real chance of joining them! Built especially for the park, and with music custom designed, the heavy use of strobe lighting and repetitive music works brilliantly with the live actors. Although only a 5-minute walk-through, guests were coming out with what seemed like genuine expressions of fear on their faces. Highly recommended, for those that can take it!
