M&D’s annual 'Darktober' season kicks off this weekend with the launch of its famous Anarchy outdoor horror experience.
Running on various dates and times from Friday, September 24 until Sunday, October 31, visitors to the attraction will step into an immersive apocalyptic world, becoming part of the story, where anarchy exists and the mission is to safely find your way through the maze, outrunning the many threatening characters and decaying zombies along the way!
There is also the opportunity to ride in the dark on some of the theme park’s favourite attractions including the 'Disko and Wave' swinger at the Motherwell-based theme park.
It is just one of the many experiences at M&D’s festival of seasonal outdoor attractions which also includes a series of chiller drive-in movies such as 'The Invisible Man', 'Cabin in the Woods', 'IT Follows', and 'The First Purge'.
Younger family members can also enjoy the Pumpkin Outdoor Festival which is a family fun experience featuring story-telling, games, the pumpkin train, as well as the chance to pick your own pumpkin, and drive-in movies including 'Hocus Pocus' and 'Goosebumps'.
Jensen Taylor Connelly told Lanarkshire Live : "This is one of our favourite times of year in the lead up to Hallowe'en when the days are getting darker and we’re looking for some fun to mark the new season.
" Anarchy is a fast-paced experience with special effects that are definitely not for the faint hearted but in contrast the Pumpkin Outdoor Festival is a great day out for all the family."
Visitors are reminded to dress appropriately for the outdoor experiences. Tickets for Anarchy are priced from £14 and can be booked online.
Overlooking Strathclyde Country Park, M&Ds Scotland’s Theme Park has over 40 rides and attractions including Amazonia, a tropical rainforest and home to over 70 different species; Cosmic Bowl, Krazy Conga Soft Play, Devil’s Island Adventure Golf, Game Zone and Diamond Lil’s Pool and Snooker Lounge.
