Fright Nights 2014
I remember quite a few teddy bears being escorted from Studio 13 when I was queueing...

Jokes
Football jokes, guys! This bloke said to me "Can you state your availability to run a Sheffield football team?". I said "I can't manage Wednesday!". I was watching Match of the Day, and Alan Hansen said "Wayne Rooney is second to none"...so why don't England start playing this nun if she's that good?! I went to a football match and one of the teams came on in a dance - it was Charleston Athletic! I went to a football match in Japan and at the end they started doing martial arts! I said to this bloke "What's going on?". He said "It's two minutes of ninjary time!" I went to the bar afterwards, and a football agent gave me an envelope full of manure. I said "No. Bung! BUNG!" ...and then a referee walked in and I thought "It's all gonna kick off now!"

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Right then. I have to say last night was, without a doubt, the best Fright Nights I've been to so far - mainly because I finally plucked up more than enough courage to do mazes! RIDE COUNT: THE SWARM: x1 (front row) SAW - The Ride: x3 (front row once - and I got stuck another time!) Nemesis Inferno: x1 Stealth: x1 (in the dark) Detonator: x1 Rush: x1 MAZE COUNT: Studio 13: x2 (1x front) My Bloody Valentine: x2 (1x front) Cabin in the Woods: x2 MAZE REVIEWS: Studio 13: Definitely not my favourite maze on the night. Although the acting wasn't bad and the themeing was decent, it was still FAR too rushed and there was a lack of actors throughout the maze. Still, at least give some light (literally!) to the strobe maze and the chainsaw pursuit at the end! But apart from that, the maze was a little naff... My Bloody Valentine: After emerging from Studio 13 for the first time rather disappointed, My Bloody Valentine did an EXCELLENT job of making up for those missed scares! The first time I did it (which was definitely my best), I was at the front, therefore getting a great jumpscare upon entering! (actor banging the door at the same time as jumping out from behind - similar to 'Vampire: The Haunting in the Hollows'). Following that, my group ended up getting broken down so much that I was ON MY OWN for the last section! The only thing I didn't quite like about MBV was the flow of the story. I could've sworn I saw TWO Harry Wardens in one place!* But THAT was made up for in my second time where Harry suddenly bursts out at the end and chases us out! Cabin in the Woods: Overall my favourite maze! After my first time, I was just lost for words for how great it was! What got me most is that there were FAR more routes than I was expecting, as I thought there'd be a line of doors at the start, you chose one, and were on that route for the rest of the maze - and as it turns out, I was wrong...for the best! I even got the best scare of the night in there as well! (The first section, in what I remember was the door on the left in front of you. I assume it was a forest scene, but I was just going around the corner, and suddenly an actor BURSTS out from the black cloth separated by supposedly tree trunks and gets right in my face!). After my first time, I had already decided my next objective - go right round and do Cabin again! Top maze imo! * Probably because I was there too!

Fright Nights 2014
So this was uploaded only yesterday (ThemeParkCollective) ^ I've had this in my head for quite a while now!

Nemesis Inferno
The mist really did have a great effect last night! That ride on Inferno was possibly my most disorientating ride yet, as at the end of the tunnel, there was so much mist that I couldn't even see the exit, and it was just at dusk as well so of course I couldn't see any daylight!

Rant
^ Why isn't there one on there saying "While driving a bus, don't troll any cyclists trying to get around at a safe time"?

Rant
Just reminds me of an event that occured only...oh...15 MINUTES AGO! Was cycling past Bracknell Station on the way home from college (in the rain)...and this bus is just stopped at an angle, completely blocking my way! I noticed the driver's face in the wingmirror so I assumed he can see me, so I attempted to pass. But as soon as I moved an inch, this bus driver decides to also move! So this bus pulled out beside me about an INCH away from my front wheel! Okay, I know what you guys are thinking ("BE MORE CAREFUL ON THE ROADS, TOMMY...DAAAAAAAAMMMMM!!!") but seriously, this bus driver could've easily seen me coming up beside him and WAITED a few mere seconds! Rant over!
