THE organisers behind a terrifying immersive attraction set to be staged at Weymouth's Nothe Fort said they 'can't wait' to open.
Wareham-based special effects experts The Twins FX are bringing Survival Zone - Alien Encounter to the historic site from June 10-13 and June 17-20.
The Twins FX have joined forces with Made to Measure Productions for the attraction, which will feature actors and special effects.
Describing the concept, a spokesman said: "In Spring 2021, a Sonic Boom was heard across the south coast. Intense investigations have shown the cause to be an unidentified creature which landed in the Parade Ground at Nothe Fort.

"Taking shelter in the underground tunnels, the creature is biding it’s time, waiting for it’s next victim - it could be you.
"As you weave your way through the labyrinth of dark underground passageways, keep your wits about you - you never know who or what is lurking around the corner. Only the bravest can survive."
It is the second Survival Zone to be staged at the fort and comes following a sell-out attraction last October.
The Twins FX and Made to Measure Productions were both recently awarded grants from the Government’s Cultural Recovery Fund, allowing them to continue creating bespoke immersive events.
The grants will allow both companies to get back on their feet by creating projects that will employ many local performers and creatives and begin to resurrect the arts and cultural offering in the local area.

Lee Redwood, from Made to Measure Productions said: "Amidst lockdowns and tier restrictions, we were thrilled to be able to go ahead with our October event last year at Nothe Fort – it’s the perfect setting for a scare attraction such as Survival Zone as it’s so steeped in it’s own history and the tunnels are frightening enough even with the lights on"
Gary Hardy-Brown, Managing Director at TheTwinsFX said: "We can’t wait to start Survival Zone again. Everything is designed and manufactured in Dorset, we provide important job opportunities locally."
Visitors can choose a standard package at £25 per person or the ultimate alien package for £35 per person.
The event runs runs from 5pm until 11pm each evening.
Booking Sessions are timed and limited to six people per group.
