I've noticed that they are calling Fright Nights "The UK's premier Halloween event" in a lot of places. They've got a lot of hype to live up to this year, let's hope they pull it off.

Very good pictures. Thank you for capturing the event, it looks really good

Sorry, I can't make the quiz. Still, enjoy it everyone

Just a heads up to anyone who isn't going to the preview night tomorrow, Thorpe Nerd Live are going to be covering the event. http://live.thorpenerd.com/

Unfortunately not, as the preview night is only for annual pass holders.

I'll be on hopefully

They don't do that anymore, which is a shame really.

I must be one of the few people who actually likes Submission. No, I won't go out of my way to ride it but if there is no queue and I am in the area then I will go on it. It's quite fun to be honest, even if it does hurt a bit!

To be honest if those fences were painted black then they would look much less tacky. On the topic of Fright Nights, roll on tomorrow! Just received this email from Merlin Entertainments - exciting! We hope you are looking forward to being terrified tomorrow night at your Exclusive Fright Night preview evening! Below is some key information just for you: • Doors open at 6:30pm and the park will close at 10pm. • Please ensure you have your event ticket and valid Annual Pass or Membership with you to gain entry. • This event may not be suitable for persons aged under 13years, those with a nervous disposition or anyone that is generally a scaredy cat! • Unfortuantely spare pants are not supplied however may be needed!

Save 35% when you renew at the event and don’t worry if you still have time left on your Pass, we will gladly add this onto your current expiry date! Simply visit the Annual Pass office to renew your passes. We hope to see you there! The Merlin Annual Pass & Merlin Membership team!

The sign for The Blair Witch Project seems to hint at an indoor section - probably just the same description for all the maze signs though. I preferred the old exit run walls for the exit of Asylum with the clown drawing, but I guess it doesn't matter as you don't really see them.

I never got to experience this, but imagine that it was brilliant! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=238108486233654&set=a.238108392900330.72177.114248348619669&type=3&theater

Very excited now after seeing those!

WTTP Stealthside is quite funny when stood in the plaza - I think that one of the speakers is out of time and it does effect it quite a lot in my opinion.

Yes it is

Hope so, I can't see why they would change it as it's worked so well for all these years.

^ They still play midnight syndicate around some of the mazes.

3:30? That's very early!

Everything Saw should have been. Looks good!

https://twitter.com/THORPEPARK/status/384709883700211712/photo/1 I'm sorry, but what?

I don't think we know that actually! It could just be the mazes, but I guess that it will be all of the rides that would be open from 6:30pm onwards on a normal FN date (so no Loggers, Rumba etc...) Don't know though!

If the actors in the CITW look anything like them then it will be very good! I expect that they will be using fog effects in there this year (as in previous years they haven't been able to due to the fire alarms but I guess that it's been sorted out as X has fog now). I do hope that they don't use too much fog in the mazes though - I like to be able to see what is trying to scare me as there is no point in going to the effort of theming a maze and hiring actors, then not even allowing you to see them.

Nice! Sounds like a good day.

If Zufari shuts early then it should be advertised around the ride and at park entrance - as when it has done that in the past there hasn't been any warning sometimes. As for the park closing time, 7pm is much to early! 8pm would be better, but 8:30pm would be the right time in my opinion.

Which is the bad/worst car?

I agree, it's much better than Vortex!
