'extreme' Mattymoo- agree that hessian is great for bags for life, not so much walls.

Sick.

It's formerly the Colony so approx. duration in the maze is 2 hours.

I'm gassed to sick levels about the movement of the Platform 15 sign. That to one side - I'm feeling positive that there seems to be more "fixed" fencing/boundaries to mazes thus far instead of Heras fencing covered in see through hessian. Step in the right direction. That said, I can't see much changing with Do Or Die in relation to the Heras fence themeing, bearing in mind BOUNCEZILLA has to be dismantled before "construction" can begin... and it's still got a week or so left!

The curse was not naff. t's better than 80% of TP lineup this year.

Touch scares are a tricky one. For some people, there's a huge fear of what could happen: a lot of people worry about being touched and having their personal space invaded. But once that wall is broken, some can lose that fear (because you realise being touched isn't that bad). There's then the other side that when touching is allowed, actors can become over-reliant on it. Even for people who don't like it, you can quickly become desensitised to it, and ultimately it loses its value. Plus, touching doesn't always ramp up scars factor. Sometimes it can take away from the experience, take you out of the story ("why is this butcher who wants to take me away, kill me and sell my meat only stroking my head?" For example). It has to have a reason and be timed rightly. Personally, I reckon touching works best when it's a bit more full-on (say, Sub Species style, where you can be forced to go in certain ways, etc). Anything less than that rarely increases scare factor imo

Hi everyone, Halloween is coming up and that means we will be holding the annual TPM Thorpe Park Fright Nights meet. The date of the event has been set as Sunday 13th October. Please PM me or reply below if you plan on attending. The event will take place over the whole day as the park will be open 10am - 10pm, with horror mazes from 3PM. Below is the provisional plan for the day: Park opening - Meet in the dome 10:15 - Start making way around the rides 1:30ish - Lunch 2:30 - Meet back up and start making way to first maze choice. 3:30 onwards - More mazes and rides in the dark until close (maybe another stop for food later if people hungry) The meets are great fun and everyone is invited, even if you have never posted before or even been to a meet at all. If it's your first meet, I understand it can be nerve breaking - but we were all there once before, so all know the feeling, please don't let this stop you from attending. Once you are there you'll be part of the group in no time at all! Everyone attending will have my number or be a part of a FB messenger group.

I doubt they would use that space where Sanctum was again, I remember Sanctum used to be very muddy. The ground literally was a mud bath and I presume it must of been hell for the actors to work in! If Do Or Die was to go in Sanctum's spot they would really need to sort out the mud. I think that location like Amity Beach just isn't optimal anymore.

Tulleys are pretty reluctant to add touch scares and for good reason. I think touch scares works best in mazes like Sub Species, I wouldn't say any other maze to date bar Skin Snatchers has used touch scares effectively tbh.. JoshC pretty much summed it up, touch scares can actually break immersion instead of their desired effect if used incorrectly. It also can put actors at direct risk touching guests, some guests can react badly to it and there is nowhere to hide when you are directly in contact with the guest.. I think Tulleys works without the need for touch scares.

Start of September has been when they've announced new mazes the past 2 years, so sometime next week seems like a good shout.

Yeah, don't do that. Please don't do that. As for the entrance, if I remember correctly they have two of those Platform 15 signs: one at the end of queue (just before you're batched into groups) and one where it's currently placed now. So I'd imagine the queue entrance is the same. Given that Dead Creek Woods isn't returning this year but Blair Witch is, I hope they use the full route for Blair Witch. That would be nice.

”The Wreckoning” Tulleys introducing a Pirate themed horror maze by the look of it. Man how I love this place 😛

Nemesis Inferno will always be there for you.
