"Love Island: Too Late" maze rumours currently circulating, watch this space. Take a trip round the Love Island Like No Other where you witness the scary reality of grammar, the ability to form a sentence and any last semblance of intelligence disappearing before your very eyes ?

There has to be some pretty good reason if Big Top isn’t to return this year. *snaps fingers*

The lineup is pretty obvious tbh. Fright Nights 2018: Bore Alive: Do you like drab and dated mazes that have a million broken effects? Blair (Why is this back) Witch?: Its not terrible but its painfully mediocre. Plonked shipping containers and a few actors: Just as bad as it sounds. A good maze with a terribly paced bore of a finale: The only reason to come. A maze that is pretty decent but lasts two seconds: Its better than nothing. Plus.. A escape room that will leave you half asleep.

Now while I give my own theory very little credibility due to how long Saw Alive has outstayed it's welcome and I don't doubt it will be any different this year; perhaps the reason why it stayed open this summer was because it will be replaced by a new maze this FN? I find it hard to believe Thorpe would close it at the end of summer to reopen it literally a month later- and since they have the existing infrastructure it wouldn't take them as long as it would to build an entirely new maze... or maybe I'm just clutching at straws. Regardless, I do find it hard to believe Thorpe would not give us any new mazes at all, and if Blair is the 'classic' maze they are bringing back I will be lowkey hella frustrated. One final thought, I'm not very big into horror films or FN's pre-2015 but perhaps they are bringing back a maze who's franchise released a new film maybe??

Staff have definitely been briefed that all the September closed days are now open.

Hit the nail on the head. Why BW, what was so amazing about it, that deserves it's returned? I am also getting annoyed at how people keep saying "a new maze" no, it's the return of a walk in the forest and a shed.

Am at Thorpe today and one of the staff on Stealth was telling a guest that they are open throughout Sept so that’s odd!

Regardless of which previous maze is supposedly returning, my question is this - why? What is the point in holding onto an older maze from years ago other than to give the impression of “we can’t innovate or stretch the imagination enough to build a new one from scratch anymore, so we’re just gonna rebuild an old design”? It makes no sense whatsoever and shows the park won’t let go of the past. So as it stacks up, this is what we could be seeing for 2018: • No return of Big Top. • Possible relocation of cruddy Sanctum. • Reigniting a partnership with Lionsgate. • Bringing back an outdoor scare attraction themed on Blair Witch. How very “year of The Walking Dead” 2018 has become...

There's an Experiment 0/10 chance of that happening.

It wouldn’t surprise me too much if it was as you say a lack of communication. I’m just being optimistic haha

Thorpe have updated their opening times on their website - they are now open every weekday this month (as opposed to having 10 close days), and are open 10-5 (as opposed to 10-4). They have also added two extra FN dates - Thursday 11th and 18th.

There is, it would just mean that depth charge would somehow outlive a log flume and a rapids ride

The ad for it in the park is nicely done.

Yellow markings on the floor? New coaster confirmed.

I didn’t know that was even a thing? I did an FSMQ in additional Maths, which I got an A in; much to my surprise. Also very delighted with my other results. I got 8 9s, an 8 and an A in DT. As one can tell by the delay of me posting this, I’ve had a week of celebrations - and hangovers!

It is about time someone tweeted them about Loggers again to be fair, so we get a slightly different response to last time that can then be analysed to the n'th degree.
