Ladbaby tries out tense new Halloween family attraction at Alton Towers

It's nearly that time of the year again - love it or hate it, Halloween is just around the corner and Alton Towers has rolled out its annual Scarefest in readiness.

Nottingham's Ladbady and his family were among the first to test out the Staffordshire attraction's 'Trick o Treat Town'.

Dressed in matching pumpkin tracksuits, the social media star, real name Mark Hoyle, and his two boys bravely tackled the interactive maze.

Travelling through the town knocking on over 30 weirdly wonderful doors from Spooky Avenue all the way up to the Witchy Woods, they searched out tricks or treats hidden behind the doors of the caricature buildings in the town and graveyard.

Relatively unphased by the spooks that presented themselves, the local YouTuber and his brood, rubbed shoulders with celebs including Dani Dyer, Ryan Thomas and Tina O’Brien, while interactive features, actors and sweets tempted and teased the thrill seekers.

Also taking a tour of the new attraction was Britain’s biggest family, stars of Channel 5 documentary 22 Kids & Counting. The Radford family gave the maze rave reviews. Laughing, joking and jumping as they made their way through the town led by Mum Sue and Dad Noel, the children soon filled up their bags with sugary treats.

During Scarefest, which runs until October 31, Alton Towers Resort undergoes a complete transformation to become the UK’s biggest Halloween destination, including overnight themed accommodation.
