Well at least it looks like the attraction will have a long queue line (that outdoor cattle pen looks large) meaning that Thorpe must be investing big. Still disappointed that there's no roller-coaster though. And what does this mean for 2015? Will we still get a new flat ride? If not hopefully a park wide cleaning.

The majority of us school kids have an inset day on Monday.
I would imagine it to be fairly busy, otherwise thorpe wouldn't have decided to add an extra event day in. I would expect coasters over 60mins and mazes over 90mins and you can be pleasantly suprised if things are less.
Thorpe wouldn't have added it, unless they could make loads of money by adding an extra day. So expect it to be busy.
I completely disagree:
It will, be like the first week of Fright Nights. There won't be many coaches which generally fill up the park unless Thorpe having been offering free entry I think it will be much quieter than this last week.

In other news, Monday 3rd November has become a FN date
Wahoo that means I will be going again this year!

Well I guess we can expect the same in terms of gates closing for all this week now. This is a good thing though as it shows a very high demand for fright nights this year meaning that we should get great investments into next years event. For example comparing bwp with last year, I'm sure they wet not expecting as large queues as there were and so the put a larger amount of time and effort into it this year. I'm sure next year we will see a greater amount of roaming actors to keep people occupied as well as the addition of a new maze as I'm sure we can all see that the money is there.

My take on fright nights at the moment:
As we have seen the hype for fright night this year seems to have drastically increased!
And so for future years I think we need another 2 mazes added (on the beaches) either lionsgate ips or thorpes own mazes to help with the large queue times and maybe bring them down to around an hour on peak nights.
Also why unlike towers is fright night not open for 2 weeks in a row to give people the option to go on a quieter night.

Dilemma do I go this afternoon? My mates got a tesco voucher ticket and I've got a premium annual pass ticket?
-
Ok to stop the park from going over capacity the answer as to what Thorpe should do is simple:
Stop all vouchers and promo codes for the events making it either that you pay the £50 on the door or book in advance, for a cheaper price, as people either will or wont pay the £50 on the day in theory making the park less crowded whilst TP still gain the gate revenue they want. This should also include tesco vouchers.

Good to know I will be back on park tomorrow

I had two short swings last night?
It confused me.

they did it last year as well didn't they?

Review of tonight:
Cabin in the woods:6/10
Average, I did not find it scary and thought that it was basically straight in and out with the reoccurring theme of actors blocking you off rather than scaring you.
Saw alive: 5/10-
Too be fair it was a bit boring seeing as halve the props don't work and actors just walk up and down, not really acting.
MBV -6/10
A definite step back from experiment ten. Although you could now see all the setting which was quite nice it just felt rushed from beginning to end and lacked intensity.
Studio 13- 7/10
Good acting and enjoyed the bit where you line up and the actors stare you down seeing as this was the only part of the night where I actually felt intimidated. However I much prefer the strobing of Asylum and it's layout. The maze felt to wide and roomy in a way. Maybe it's just that I miss the Asylum and actors moving from scene to scene but the actors just weren't scary they just looked like normal Thorpe park staff in a way.
BWP - 8/10
They must of seen last years queues and thought wow we really need to make this attraction better and wow they did a great job! Falling back from the group me and my mate did this maze on our own and the actors were great hoping out when least expected. At one point I either scared an actor or my reaction to her sent her into a laughing fit. The finale had greater intensity and overall it was a great attraction! defiantly the strongest this year/!
Overall it was very crowded for a Friday night with 2 hour min queues for mazes, luckily we had my friends yellow band however I am reconsidering going again next week to stand in 2 hour long queues for weak attractions. The roaming actors seemed fun but apparently you cant take selfies with them.
I would rate this years event 5/10. I believe fright nights is becoming over hyped and just way too crowded. I can't imagine what it will be like tomorrow seeing as it was probably over capacity (if such a thing) today.
-
Loving how bad the weather reports are for Friday! It keeps changing lol
-
All the park need is an expedition g force style coaster to span the parks length.
-
It's from Saw 5, so comes just after the Mausoleum room (the smoky room with heavy chains and a metal thing in the middle) and before the corridor which leads to the Carousel room.
It's usually very dark and only lights up the table, meaning you miss most of the theming. Sometimes you'll hear a swinging pendulum in it though.
The one where they swing in there chains from the table? It's a shame it's so dark in there lol.
-
I don't remeber the pendulum room in saw alive. Someone help me out here!

Or 2016 dark ride in the arena spot.
2016 surely were due a roller-coaster by then

Fastrack is meant to be 25% of the wait of the normal queue(well its more complicated but it works out as the equivalent of that, there abouts). The main queue should always have a higher allocation, regardless of the wait of the fastrack people. If Thorpe have oversold them, then Thorpe should be held responsible rather than ruining the peoples day who didn't pay. To complain at them for that is fine as it is their fault however to say that the main queue was being let in more isn't really a valid argument. Thorpe will defend themselves by saying that they limit the number of people they let in the park so I would suggest commenting on bad ride operations rather than saying it had way too many people. Saying those things will probably lead to a more satisfying answer as the other points will yield a generic response. Enjoy your priority passes (it will make sense to you in about 8 days).
It's been years since TP has put in the maximum capacity rule lol
-
All it takes is one look at FB to see the reoccurring problems of fast track being oversold and batching 2 main queue with 8 fast tracks
-
Just spoil the ending lol

They didn't. The owner of TPC is the guy on Instagram who posted the Studio 13 picture (****yofamz). I know/knew him well, and he happens to be quite a big liar. He does have a ride op friend at TP though, who probably sent him the picture.
Trust me, I know him well.
Reasons why I always dislike TPC videos.

After reading views on the queue lines, got me thinking don't all the sound stages at universal have a cattle pen round the back like the one in Thorpe plans? As well as how don't we know that the queue goes around the whole building inside like X?
