The former Camelot theme park site welcomed guests through its gates for the first time in 10 years for a PR launch night on Friday (February 4).

But a power outage caused by a "national shortage of generators" meant the rest of its opening weekend had to be cancelled.

Park 'N Party, organisers of the spook-fest, confirmed affected customers would be able to swap their tickets for future dates as they were released.

Guests drive through four zones - the River of the Dead, a Military Checkpoint, Camelot Castle and the Valley of the Dead - before reaching the 'Safe Zone' (aka the drive-in cinema).

As visitors navigate the zones, they will encounter 'zombies' lurking in the shadows and witness gory battles between soldiers and the undead.

As the legendary castle sits derelict, you will experience all of the sights, sounds and sensations that put you right in the middle of an apocalyptic event.

Guests are advised to arrive at the screenings at least 45 minutes to one hour early – this will give people enough time to get comfortable before the movie starts.

How will you watch the movies at the drive-in?

You can view the film on three large screens.

The audio will be played through a frequency on your car radio, most likely an FM frequency.

A working car radio is essential to enjoy the movie.
