The resins are £6-8, depending on which one you get.

True - maybe I shouldn't have put 'well' there. Regardless, the point stands that Thorpe are serious about keeping the ride as long as possible, which should be noted over all this needless worry every time the ride has a blip.

To be fair, since Slammer reopened in May/June time (can't remember when exactly), it's been rather reliable. Sure, they're opening it later and going general checks every day at 3pm, but they are clearly serious about keeping it running well, and I don't see any reason to panic about it being removed until it suffers a serious problem (which would be a breakdown lasting more than a couple of days, in my opinion).

Only thing that is really interesting me is the S&S Free Fly to be honest. Looks fun and hopefully can better the Intamin ZacSpins. Twisted Colossus looks good, but fear of throughput and other things just make me feel a little less excited over it. Everything else is just meh.

Unsure how many people have noticed, but the cost of a FN ticket for Standard MAP holders / Thorpe Park AP holders is now £5 if you book before October 1st, and £10 afterwards - https://www.thorpepark.com/events-experiences/events/fright-nights/ Certainly makes the Horror Pass look more enticing if you're wanting to do a couple of dates!

So long as your lap bar is done tightly enough, you can quite happily ride Slammer safely. The shoulder restraints are more there for added comfort and peace of mind I'd assume.

Given that the past three Fright Nights have given new mazes with rather special / different twists (isolation rooms, bags on head, multiple routes in small groups), I'd expect something with an equally interesting twist. I don't think it had been confirmed it would be in Asylum's spot yet, so nice to have that officially confirmed. Really do look forward to what Thorpe give us!

If memory serves me correctly, it was either a telephone box or a black sign.

The park's website says that Fright Nights (or at least FN attractions) is only suitable for over 13s, so it seems unlikely. I was interested to see if they would do that, but there's nothing wrong with having a more adult event for a family park, especially for only a couple of weeks.

Restraint problems aren't uncommon on rides. Happens every so often. Don't fret every time Slammer has a small bit of downtime or opens slightly later. One tiny little problem isn't going to cause it to go to the scrapheap!

Saw is one of the better received rides on park apparently and the film series is certainly iconic. Sure, it's not everyone's cop of tea, and the response is mixed from enthusiasts, but it's definitely been a great investment for the park!

16 to be a platformer I believe. 18 (and have experience) to operate rides.

I fear for the throughputs. However, the ride itself does look quite fun.

^I think the point Morgan is making is that since The Marmaliser is the key thematic feature, the station exterior is likely going to be ignored regardless of the theming.

Showing scenes from Saw 3D / Saw VII would also give a brilliant opportunity to utilise the seats during the car trap too!

How was it a last minute investment? It was probably first planned art least a year ago, which I wouldn't call last minute for a small investment.

How do you know that haven't though?

I'm sorry...

I used Priority Passes to do all the mazes at Fright Nights last season. I've felt unclean ever since.

Shockwave? More like Shocking!

Sounds like fun; I'm up for it!

To be fair, she probably did more than one coaster that day! And Colossus needs more good press than Inferno I'd say

The flaming fire truck (strong sense of irony), the destroyed emergency services vehicles and destroyed church (showing no one can help you and nowhere is safe), the destroyed flying modes of transports (showing The Swarm control the skies), the cries for help from the telephone box, the slight humour of the billboard and more are all great little touches. There's also more. Given that the ride is set AT Thorpe Park, surely the church makes no sense to be there? But no one complains about that. It's one of those things you have to accept for the story, and it happens in all forms if entertainment.

Points out Swarm, Amity Cove, Saw (to a degree) as well as plenty of other little touches around the park.

On the other hand though, most guests won't just ride the coasters. They'll ride the flats, the water rides, etc. Of course, the coasters will be the big draw, but it won't be the only thing which defines a person's visit. I get that for some people, the new system may affect how many times you can reride a coaster or whatever. However, it has the possibility to allow people to get on more rides during their day, which is what most people want at the end of the day! The system has the capability to please more people than displease.
