Paultons Park is a family theme park located in Hampshire, near the New Forest National Park. Spanning 140 acres, it features over 70 rides and attractions and continues to expand, offering new experiences for visitors of all ages.
In May 2025, the park unveiled its latest addition: Ghostly Manor, a £3.5 million immersive indoor attraction and the world’s first ‘Gameplay Theatre.’ This interactive dark ride invites guests into the eerie and mysterious home of Dr. Benjamin Kinley, an eccentric supernatural expert with a ghost problem on his hands.
To complement the ride’s custom design, Heckmondwike provided a bespoke flooring solution tailored to meet the specific requirements of Ghostly Manor. A total of 300m² of Diamond carpet tiles in Charcoal were installed throughout the attraction by NCF Contracts. The deep, dark tone and textured finish not only enhanced the ride’s mystical atmosphere but also provided practical benefits such as slip resistance and long-lasting performance, ensuring both safety and style in a high-use environment.
To further enhance the experience, bespoke matting was developed, featuring specially designed arrows and numbers. These elements were precisely cut into the carpet tiles to guide guests to the correct rows as they prepare to board the ride.
Below are the original hand-drawn concept sketch and the final production proof of the directional matting, showcasing the detailed planning and creative effort behind this custom flooring solution. These visuals illustrate how custom design played a critical role in bringing Ghostly Manor to life, down to the smallest details.
