Reserve n Ride
Thorpe said they would be using it on the big rollercoasters only meaning that you can still do 3 rides in one hour instead of having them all on reserve n ride...

Reserve n Ride
Like Marc I have used fastrack. I have never paid for it myself though and I simply hate the idea of it. I have only used it when it's been given to me(by someone random who has to go, customer services, or when I've been stuck on a ride) but I am not going to pay for it. Simple. I always hate it in the nemesis inferno queueline and other queue lines for that matter where you get stopped right before you go into the building, or the station and a massive line of fastrackers go in front of you. YES it does make your overall wait time longer because if you had gone into the station those fastrackers would be behind you, or if they had not fastracked at all they still would be behind you. That is why I simply hate fastrack because its queue jumping and there are many signs around the park saying if you queue jump you will be removed. Do I see fastrackers being removed because they queue jumped? No because they have paid for it. It is unfair. This is why I like the idea of reserve n ride. You are basically fastracking but for free. However everyone does it. Lets say the swarm queue is 60 mins. Without reserve n ride you would just get on one ride, the swarm. With reserve n ride, you could get on 3 rides; swarm being 60 mins, samurai 35 and vortex 20. Instead of using up 2 hours to get on 3 rides, you use up one. That is why I simply love the idea and hope thorpe will continue you with it. I am also hoping to get to the trial on the 8th September. If reserve n ride is continued(which I hope it is), I hope fastrack will be taken away completely from anything with reserve n ride on it. On the smaller rides, there can still be fastrack but I'm hoping they will put reserve n ride on the big ones and remove fastrack. Full stop. In reality, is this going to happen. No because fastrack is a great way to make money and I can't see it being removed.

Chessington General Discussion
To be fair their operations are really poor and if they had good operations they could have half the queues which would mean less complaints. I'm sure alton towers and thorpe have about double the people of chessie at the moment and they have less queues than at chessie(vampire was 2 hrs 40, nemmy inferno was 2 hours max). I think it really is down to operations.

Fright Nights 2013
A 13+ rule hasn't been declared anywhere!? But I can't see the mazes being 18+ as that would completely stop teenagers and families attending the event. Also the age limits are just guidelines not actual limits like I did saw-the ride + alive when I was 10\11

Which new Fright Night attraction has the most potential to be the most horrifying and best to date?
You're next is a scare zone coming to the park. The asylum is returning likely to be 'dead silence' but we do not know yet.

Fright Nights 2013
Opening times on the website have been updated to 10pm but the 5th + 6th are still till 6pm?http://www.thorpepark.com/plan-your-visit/opening-times.aspx I doubt there will be any extra mazes after hours as they have extended them already and it will also mean that it will cost even more for staff hire etc. I highly doubt this will happen. I think thorpe were just trying to say the mazes will be free, however I think if there is some type of swarm maze it could be staying for the 2014 season and may become a paid attraction after fright nights

Fright Nights 2013
Maybe that means during the AP event they will charge for them? Also why is the 5th+6th October till 6pm if its a fright night?

Fright Nights 2013
If the roaming actors are good though, it could work well
-
Fright Nights 2013
Since when was you're next only roaming actors?
-
Fright Nights 2013
But if I didn't watch them would I still understand the mazes?
-
Fright Nights 2013
Do you think the mazes will still be good even if me or my friend hasn't watched the films?

Shouldn't cabin in the woods use the woods though?
-
Fright Nights 2013
I hope not!Saw alive will definately be free- it has to be! I am hoping we see the less scarier ones on the 'scare ratings' as free and maybe one or two of the best and most scariest mazes as paid for?

Fright Nights 2013

That would be a good idea, it would be a great use of CCR

Not to mention the endless announcements going on in the rides queue lines.

Reserve n Ride
If it is a full queue replacement, I would be extremely annoyed if you had to pay for it. That's basically saying you have to pay for the big rides. However, I doubt it will be as I expect they will either keep the main queue or have reserve N ride as free and then a better reserve N ride(fastrack) which is paid for.

Fright Nights 2013
If it is all 'horror film mazes' and they pull it off the event will be amazing... If this is the case I can now see saw alive is returning as it easily fits in with the other mazes like cabin in the woods and you're next. The location of the mazes would also be interesting. The cabin in the woods would probably have to be located in the wood so my guess is it would be in Canada creek in the woody area. I really hope they can just pull all these mazes off as fright night has so much potential this year(if it is a lions gate fest?) Just going back to a CCR ghost train, surely if they were going with the horror films they would have to link it up with a film to fit it in?

Fright Nights 2013
Was hoping it would be on a weekend so I could not have to wait in long queues and still be able to go. Never mind
