    Trialling a system with a standby queue isn't a true representation of what a 'queueless theme park' will look like really. I still find this whole thing somewhat laughable.

    So basically, I've decided what Chessington should do. Get rid of Dragon Falls, Peeking Heights and Toadies and install one bloody amazing new area. And what rides, well I'm thinking a Juvelen clone, because that is the best family roller coaster out there and secondly, an Intamin log flume like Chiapas. 
     
    Make it so Chessington.

    Absolutely, yes. The park can enforce any rule it fancies. Doesn't stop a stupid rule from being stupid though.

    You just have a bit more attached to the cost of the ticket, it's not like Summer Nights as it's an actual Fright Nights day rather than a separate event which happens after close if that makes sense. Unsure about using 2 for 1 vouchers though, don't want to comment on it incase I'm wrong. Hope the first bit helps enough though.

    1) Nope, you just buy the one ticket, valid from 10am to 10pm which will include mazes as well  
     
    2) 2-for-1 tickets are valid as long as it doesn't say 'Not valid at special events' or something like that

    Went to the fright night preview tonight to see a few familiar faces and celebrities!
    I don't think there could have been more than a couple of thousand on park, as the mazes peaked at 45mins max; and when one was 45mins the others were 5(with the exception of studio 13 not going under 45 all night).
    Ride count:
    Slammer-1
    Samurai- 1
    Saw- 1
    Swarm- 1
    Detonator- 1
    Stealth- 2
    Rush- 1
    Maze count:
    Blair witch project- 1
    Studio 13- 1
    My bloody valentine- 1
    Cabin in the woods- 1
    -The rides were pretty much walk on all night, except for when we got jumped by a whole group of celebrities who decided to take up a whole train, however the queues were non-existent all night.
    -Rides on FULL CAPACITY, 2 trains on coasters!!! I'm sure the park expected it to be busier, as all rides were walk on and going half empty.
    -Did not get in Saw alive due to it breaking down and re-opening with a 45minute queue later.
    -Amazing effects on tonight, flamethrowers on saw, mist on nemesis and stealth and effects in mazes were amazing.
    -Cabin in the woods was much improved to last year, felt longer and the scares were brilliant. Well themed too and saw the character which was chosen on facebook by the public!
    - Blair Witch was interesting... I thought it was an amazing use of space however the actual experience itself wasn't great. I liked how it was a walk through the woods and there were a few good scares. The final hut was good aswell.
    - My Bloody Valentine was better than I remember, got the tunnel route which was quite scary and people infront got split from the rest of their group . Very fast paced and much better lighting this year meaning theming was visible. Also audio in maze queue
    -STUDIO 13. What can I say? This was brilliant! 1000000/10(if that's even possible). I commend thorpe for making such an amazing maze, the theming was brilliant and the fact that it felt like a conga maze but was actually free flow made it great aswell! The scares were amazing and the maze was absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to do it again, the finale was brilliant aswell. The only downside was the long wait, but it was worth it! The maze was very popular and I can see why!
    Total Rides and Mazes: 12.
    Can't wait to go again, amazing event and if you are considering going to it, go! The roaming actors were great aswell(when there were some) as they made a photo frame and would suddenly scare everyone! Get down to this event, thorpe you have created something amazing I loved it!

    "So, to sum up tonight FRIGHT NIGHTS experience: It was a great improvement on last year (even though last year was amazing). Cabin In The woods has had some lovely new additions. Studio 13: The Motel was purely stunning and is definitely one of the best mazes there this year, and yes the chainsaw is still there!! My Bloody Valentine was exactly the same as last year, which still makes it a brilliant maze. We would rank FRIGHT NIGHTS 10/10 based on the 3 mazes we witnessed tonight and the roaming actors. We still have to see whats new/changed in SAW: Alive! and The Blair Witch Project."

    I would like either a wooden coaster or a good and only good dark ride. I honestly really don't want a 'Inferno Sub Terror' I think Sub Terror at Alton is awful not at all scary and also has a bad PPH. The thing I want the most if a good classic wooden rollercoaster to add to Canada Creek.
