As Summer is nearing its end, Autumn is gradually creeping its way in and you know it only means one thing. Halloween! To get us in the spooky mood is a brand new immersive event Spooktacular arriving in Glasgow from October 4 to October 27 and the organisers have unveiled a frightful line-up of rides.
Spooktacular will take place in the Green car park at Silverburn, Pollok in the lead-up to Halloween and will feature the likes of an epic rollercoaster, thrill rides for thrill seekers, a festival wheel with the best view of Glasgow and ‘little pumpkin’ rides. There will be over 20 rides for you to choose from, all of which are included with a wristband.
Guests can expect thrills, spills, and chills, as well as attractions such as a terrifyingly towering roller coaster and much more.
Rides for thrill seekers include the Tagada, which is a “cursed” spinning bowl where thrill-seekers grip bars instead of restraints, it is where fear meets fun. Visitors can also whirl through the brisk Halloween night air on the Speed Buzz.
The Moonlit Ferris Wheel, where ghouls await at the pinnacle will take guests to eerie heights. And as darkness falls across the land, the Spooktacular Ghost Train is sure to frighten you. Those who fancy less of a fright can enjoy the spooky dodgems, carousels, waltzers and teacups.
Spooktacular tickets get you unlimited access to all rides for the duration of your four-hour session alongside being able to indulge in the food and drink village, photo opportunities, games and attractions.
Tickets are £19.50 for those over 1.2 metre, £16.75 for the little riders and £4 for non-riders.
