Wellington's Fear Factory scares up its final frights | RNZ

Fear Factory says a drop in visitor numbers and a Covid-19 hangover both played a part in the closure of its Wellington branch.
It opened in the capital the year before Covid struck and the nautical nightmare maze has since chartered a rocky course.
"We opened in September of 2019, so we had seven months of trading before lockdown and to be honest I think that's when it all, the hardship started," said Director and General Manager Matthew Smith.
"It's been a really rough road for me and my family."
The tourist attraction has branches in Wellington and Queenstown, but only the capital city one is closing.
Smith said a real dip in tourism in the past year pushed the Wellington business over the line.
"This was supposed to be the flagship store that took us to Sydney or Melbourne," he said. "We were hoping to leapfrog off the back of it being the capital city."
