Scare mazes, theatricality and the death of originality (My sort of review for Fright Nights 2013)

Hey all, my latest article on CoasterGeek; "Scare mazes, theatricality and the death of originality" is now online! http://coastergeek.wordpress.com/2013/12/01/scare-mazes-theatricality-and-the-death-of-originiality/ Disagree with me?

The Smiler Review - Now live!

"I had a feeling of trepidation when I entered The Smiler’s queue line, in the 2 months between The Smiler’s opening day and the day that I finally rode it, I’d heard some good things and some bad things. I’d heard horror stories of a ride more painful than Saw and a ride that was falling apart only 2 months after opening. I’m happy to say that The Smiler is a fantastic ride, its the best ride Alton have installed since Oblivion – It’s that good." Read the full review here - http://coastergeek.

Where the magic never ends...

Alton Towers - Where the magic never ends! Well, according to multiple enthusiasts, the magic had indeed ended, people say it like its happened only recently, but really "The Magic" everyone talks about died long ago, I'd say in around 2005, the image of manufactured magic went out the window.

"The Swarm - Brave it backwards, The review" Now Live!

"I love The Swarm, I really do. When it opened in 2012 it was refreshing to see a quality coaster with excellent theming that didn’t have an unnecessary gimmick. And then in 2013, Thorpe cocked it all up." You can probably tell where this review is going already, but you can read the full review here; http://coastergeek.wordpress.com/2013/03/11/the-swarm-brave-it-backwards-the-review/

How death should of been simulated in The Passing

I loved The Passing, I thought it was a great addition to the Fright Nights lineup that provided some great scares, however one thing that could of been done better was your death. The only thing that comes close to a simulated death in The Passing is when a gunshot sound is played when you get your picture taken, if this meant to be the simulation of death then it just makes no sense, as in the next scene you get your bag. They cant kill you before you before you get the bag, then it would jus

The Passing review - Now live!

Check out my review of The Passing on my shiny new WordPress, CoasterGeek, providing reviews of rides, events and attractions in the UK! "Disturbing, Haunting, Unique. Those are the three words I would use to describe The Passing, Thorpe Park’s latest & most extreme Fright Nights maze yet… After hearing many reviews of The Passing, I had low expectations, I was expected it to be crap, to my surprise though it turned out to be my favourite maze of the year. After getting the usual safety br
