I think by the description of it, it sounds to me like a non conga line maze, but I would much prefer it to be like asylum. A nice traditional hands on shoulders maze. As if not, saw will be the only one...

Hey guys, how busy do you reckon fright nights will be on Friday the 24th?
-
I'm really looking forward to fright nights this year, I'm especially intrigued by studio 13. On the description it says that guests should not expect a happy ending. I really wish this maze has a well thought out story line and at the end there will be a part in which your heart just drops as you realise something and then you have to run out of the exit. I think it will be really good.

In my opinion Asylum was the best maze last year (although I only managed to do CITW once). I love it because of all the disorientating lights and sirens. I feel that the actors use this to their advantage very well and it scared me a lot. I think that all they need to do is rename it and it will be fine. Also I understand that Thorpe are going for a more family orientated park as of recent and I think that, for fright nights this year, they should have a mildly scary feel around the park, for the families, but they should make the mazes as scary as possible so It doesn't disappoint everyone else. Tbh, as long as the mazes are made as scary as possible, and they have a more immersive park feel, I wont be too bothered.
-
To be honest, I'd rather they not try a slender maze. Can you imagine how hard that would be to pull it off well? They would have to have all the actors in the right place at the right time and for this to work you couldn't be in massive groups and it would have to be very long for people to get the best experience. Due to this the queue would be huge and in my opinion there is no way that Thorpe could do it well. This is just my opinion but if they did manage to do something like a slender maze well I would be in shock.

I went to Thorpe on Tuesday and was a little shaky about going because I never really go in the holidays much as I always imagined it to be busy. But it really surprised me to see that the queue times were really low...
At midday we went to Colossus, expecting it to have a 60 minute queue but it was only a 5 minute wait!
Mind you, even with all the short queues inside the park, it took us 2 hours to get our annual passes from the building!
Quick ride count for the day:
Stealth x2
Nemesis x2
Colossus x2 (surprisingly smooth)
Saw x1 (really rough, way more so than Colossus)
Swarm x1
Rush x1
Loggers x3
Storm surge x1
Samurai x1
Overall a really good day, considering it was in the holidays and we missed the first 2 hours of the park opening!

I think that the new map is a very big improvement and it looks good, but, for someone who has never been to the park before and needs to find their way round... maybe not.
It is still 10x better than the last map in my opinion but it is near to impossible to use it to find your way around...
-
Personally, I think that this is a good move for Thorpe and that if they pull it off well it could be a huge success. Not so sure about detty being "INVADED" by the angry birds but its nice to see a fun area being added and I just love dodgems so I cant wait to see what Thorpe do with this.

Cant they just rename the Asylum so that people can't complain about it supposedly presenting people with mental health problems as mad psychopaths?
I mean it wouldn't make much difference to the experience apart from the name. Some people will have probably seen this solution already but it would work wouldn't it?
