Welcome to the forums! For me I'd probably say Cabin in the Woods - for the first half of the maze there's no set route as such - some doors take you onwards some take you to a dead end and some take you back to the beginning! That said it's a "free flow" maze so no hands on the shoulders of the person in front of you! Infact I think this year Saw Alive is the only one where you have hands on shoulders (unless it changes for this year) so that maybe your best bet to start! Hope you enjoy!

I doubt "Merlin" would have got involved in smaller details like that TBF - it would of been Simworx / Figment etc who would of spec'ed up any equipment needed and for them to work out how it works. Sure the trains get warm but ive been in much warmer server rooms!

Was running fine on Saturday on 2 trains - I saw it went down yesterday morning and was back up late afternoon.

The rides been closed for 2 weeks - I think it's safe to say it's nothing to do with the weather. Ive ridden it on very hot days - the building gets hot but I've not sure what evidence we have to say it's actually causing issues?

There was a lot of staff in and out yesterday along with contractors all day. Hopefully it's back soon

Trans we're going out like anythig yesterday - train was ready to Go as people were getting out the train behind - didn't see any down time

Ohhh your probably right - leave it with me! Hopefully thats fixed now!

To be fair yes - they probably will be.

As has been said - it will be to use the resourcses of the actors and hosts throughout the Fright Night attractions - I'm sure one of the biggest criticisms last year was it was all last minute?!

I really don't understand what your getting at? If people are happy to pay £10 then it would be abit silly to charge less!

It don't look much different to it does in a normal closed season! I wouldn't look to much into that although I'm not to confident it will return

The reliability and throughput will improve - the ride has years yet to make a return on its investment!

Have had a few requests for a shoutbox style feature like we used to have - have installed a similar one now which will appear on the right hand side of the forums (When on a PC) Just testing out now to see if theres demand for it! Let us know any feedback

Speed issues are hopefully sorted now - issue with chat is being looked into

^I'd assume so yes!

Its our own dedicated server - if anything should be super fast but is slow here too leave it with me!

^Would certainly explain the large fenced off area considering we know MBV isnt returning!

We have migrated the forums and site over to a new server today - hopefully all working ok but if anyone notices anything please let us know

Tbf this is just a modern version of people at the entrance selling it. I've not got any real issues with it as long as it comes out of the allocations (which im certain it will).

According to a member of towers street the new towers app has a new feature where when you approach a ride it will offer you to buy fastrack on your device using Apple Pay. I know everyone dislikes fastrack but much better than the crazy queues to buy it!

Im not saying any of these events are better / worse than eachother but Thorpe hit capacity on a number of times last Fright Nights which suggests to me the GP are still enjoying the offering.

I think it went down last Saturday so a week now.

The fact your planning to visit in less than a month would suggest the problems are not all that huge! The downtime on Ghost Train is unfortunate but its not really un-expected. As for the other rides i dont think its been a particularly bad year - apart from Stealth which is obviously a fairly major issue for it to close so long!

The park is set to open throughout September now (apart from Wednesday 28th for staff training) after previously being advertised as closed on these dates

For the record i wasn't disagreeing with anything you say regarding old / new Bubbleworks - I was merely getting at there will be people who genuinely do enjoy these tours - and if they do thats fair enough IMO. https://www.chessington.com/press/downloads/2016/Bubbleworks-Auction-Catalogue.pdf - link to whats on sale from the ride.
