where abouts are you based would happily house it...and pay you for your troubles:)

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............ Taken from towers times, who clearly know what the secret of SW7 is and won't share!

It will grow on me. It sounds awful, but then so does loads of ride names. And there is something subtley sinister about the name "The Smiler".

I have also heard from a very reliable source the The Smiler is the official name for the ride.

That too will not happen... although with the 'crash pad' more likely...

Slammer...Rush...THORPE PARK. Nuff Said.

Tidal Wave. Nuff Said.

Well as there is no source as of yet I'm not jumping on the band wagon. No offence...just like to see evidence

I'd imagine running costs is a large contributing factor to rides opening or not during feb as well as mechanics.

Went to Fright Nights yesterday and what can I say... After boyotting the event last year because of the failure that was 2010 fright nights we decided to go again. We got on park at about 12:20...headed straight over the THE SWARM with a 45 minute queue. This was the first time I had seen the flame effect and the LED eyes in action and it was awesome. We managed front row on the LHS. After the Swarm we headed over to Pizza Hut which was absolutely heaving... We then had a behind the scenes tour of the Asylum which was the absolute highlight of the day...great tour. Following the tour we were the first in the Asylum much to the distaste of the people queuing ages for it. We then went over to Experiment 10, we queued a good 90 mins for this due to a technical fault...Great maze...best in the park or so I thoguht... Our time to die was 17:00. We had heard mixed reviews...but needed to se it for ourselves... EPIC. AMAZING. TERRIFING. The passing is a must do maze...worth the £3. We then managed nemesis twice and the swarm front row a further 2 times!

Is anyone going to the behind the scenes tour of the Asylum on Sunday? Just got an email offering me two tickets...quite excited!!!

Has anyone been in since Fright Nights has started?

Great punn!

I thought they were struggling too...dont get me wrong...these Hobbit huts are different to the usual hotels and will attract a different visitor...but they will be extortionate.

I havn't read much of the thread but all I can say is that fright nights must be safe. Merlin is a multinational company and all events must comply with the countries health and safety requirements.
