 2025 - Ghostly Manor / New Dark Ride - (2/24/2025) Paulton’s Park has posted a video showing off the testing of the park’s new Ghostly Manor dark ride. Look for the new attraction to open on May 17, 2025.
(9/29/2024) Lagotronics has partnered with Mack Rides, Leisure Expert group and Themeics to create the “world’s first Gameplay Theater” that will open at Paultons Park in 2025 as ‘Ghostly Manor”.
The new attraction will be created inside the park’s former 4D Theater space with a new themed exterior when it opens in May 2025. The new ‘Gameplay Theater’ concept will be an interactive dark ride experience that will take guests through various scenes that will feature extensive scenery and projection effects to create a unique story-driven experience about the exploits of “famed ghost hunter Dr. Kinley”. While visiting Dr. Kinley’s manor, a number of ghosts he had captured escape and the guests are tasked with helping recapture the wayward spirits through the use of a Phantom Phaser.
(6/5/2024) Ghostly Manor is coming to Paulton’s Park… more details are to come, but I like the look of the teaser art!
(2/11/2024) Paultons Park appears to be building a new dark ride with a ghost hunting / paranormal theme. Banners are up along the construction walls in the park offering a warnings such as “Paranormal Activity Dectected” and “Spectre Apprehension in Operation”. You can follow a link to watch a video discussion about the new teasers up in the park over at Chall Chats, who mentions that the new attraction is replacing the park’s former 4D Theater attraction.
The timing would be great for a self-made IP with a faux Ghostbusters theme this year since the new Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire film will begin hitting theaters late next month.
???? - Holiday Village - In Development - (3/21/2025) Blooloop reports that Paultons Park is now planning on creating an on-site “holiday village” that will be able to accommodate up to 700 guests. The proposed resort could take several years to get built, but would feature 85 to 95 units, with a restaurant, a small shop for various items and groceries, and would be built on a site located next to the existing theme park.
The article described it as a “Scandinavian-style resort” which I believe means that it will feature a simple and minimalist design style using more natural materials in the construction, but still with a focus on only including what is essential, while offering a more nature oriented experience.
I’m not sure if this is a thing here in the US, so I’m sort of imagining the vibe here as if IKEA were to build a campground style resort featuring a bunch of small cabins. Someone please tell me if I’m way off base, but it does sound like a kind of relaxing get-away from it all kind of thing.
