Ok Scarefest hasn't just been touching advertised this year.
But touching makes it on par with Thorpe. But I felt like the mazes were just much more intense than thorpes.
For Sub Species I was split into a group of 2 for the whole of it. At one point there was actor either side blocking my way. They split us up by pushing and shoving.
Molly crowe also had loads of touching, actors put there hand all other my face! Grabbed my neck, grabbed my leg, ect.
It does happen at Thorpe, but not as much, and not as aggresive as SF's.
