A friend of mine who isn't an EnTHuSiAsT went to Thorpe a few years ago and said Blair Witch was laughably bad then and an embarrassment to the film, and I can't really recall anyone ever actually wanting Blair Witch to come back so can only assume it's returned because it's simple and cheap vs. Big Top. I went to FN press night last year with the same guy and he said Big Top was one of the best mazes he had ever done - nearly Tulleys level. Similarly he was impressed with Living Nightmare (can't deny that themeing is pretty bloomin good, credit where credits due), but thought Sanctum needed a lot of work and thought P15 was marginally better with the house scene (cough Creepy Cottage cough) but still generally poor. So basically #prayforThorpe

MMXX = ? is code for Thorpe not having a ruddy clue what they are going to do in 2020.

Cheers fella - 13th is the date it appears! I'll shout you a Starbucks Count me in.

Should be down for it provided I can wangle a ticket ?

Hold on to your annual passes lads, Thorpe Park have just done a tweet of an old telly saying "This year nowhere is safe". Citin' right?

I'm only going to Fright Nights if I can get free entry by pretending I have a YouTube channel or a blog ? #influencer

"No Punctuation: Search For The Missing Full Stop" horror maze confirmed as new for 2018 at Thorpe ?

I find it incredulous that there isn't a 2019 Season thread yet to discuss the future of Loggers Leap and speculation that Ramases Revenge finally moves to Thorpe.

Channel 4 also say no.

Colony could be interesting with that twist... and extending even further? You'll be in there half an hour if you're not careful New Cellar sounds interesting also! Bring on October 6th ?

This is because of the 2012 Olympics and terrorist attacks.

Cheers for the intel Colony is probably my favourite, purely because of the sheer size of the thing! Tulley's is now an annual visit for me for sure, completely worth the money.

Yes, website now shows a "New for 2018" maze - I would assume it's something police/jail related from the jailers and prison cell that was in the middle of the park last year but maybe not if The Cellar is now The Cellar Imprisoned? Is it Halloween yet? Glad I got my VIP Unlimited ticket back in February, woop woop!

Are there seriously rumours about them removing the VR already? Cripes. That's incredible. Those vinyls covered in etched graffiti depresses me greatly, but the queue doesn't exactly help matters. How come you don't see that sort of vandalism at Disney parks? Is it a higher calibre of guest or are they just better at preventing it? ?

It can't be long before RR has it's last spin, surely. Dread to think what Merlin would put in it's space, probably nothing?

Surely an AirRace somewhere at a Merlin park is overdue... or just.... something new that's a flat Maybe AT could get some dodgems as a queue eater? I am pro having dodgems at theme parks, purely because it means not paying £3 a ride and they - tend to be - better maintained than at fairs.

C'mon guys, lets hug it out and talk about the return of Loggers Leap for 2019.

Seems like another great start to the day at Alton Towers - WickerMan, Galactica, Spinball, Th13teen all down... WickerMan has just opened. Hope the social media team are prepared for a busy day.

I would consider it for £395, but cannot stretch to £400 due to the sugar tax affecting my budget.

^ This 100%.

Indeed! We have to Jart to thank.

Looking like a potential 3rd day of downtime for Wickerman

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.

But the social media team said they hoped Loggers Leap would be making a splash back soon so with that in mind who knows where Vortex will be back ?

It's finished already ? I can only begin to imagine what's been going on inside after 3 years of Alton Towers Loving Care, going to be incredible.
