The park’s communications consultant Christine H. Berhus stated that they had 30% more guests than last year.

She added that guests were increasingly booking more overnight stays.

On the weekend in week 40, there was an increase of 35% in the number of visitors compared with the corresponding period of last year.

The spike in visitor numbers is connected to the park’s “Scary Days” program.

“It’s great fun. Despite a lot of rain, the guests have made the trip, and we are grateful for that,” entertainment manager Roy Bjerke said.
