Trick or Treat Doors wasn't done last year either, the show was replaced by Big Bad Boo.

In-house, by the electricians.

It's almost like the park is being punished for doing something they really shouldn't've...

But imagine the possibilities when the Ents team have more than one evening in the attraction to change it for Halloween.

Throughput, location, cost. The attraction wasn't automated - all of the effects were triggered by 4 hosts inside the main body of the attraction chucking the rice, being the monster - pushing the fake wall, and triggering the sound effects etc. So it was hard to staff. Also the marquee leaks. Many of the wooden flats sit rotting in a container. Also the cost of putting it back up and hiring all the sound and lighting equipment again. Don't even get me started on the fudging Gorilla head.

No, not really. Although some people did just because they were used to that. The space arrangements usually meant standing in small groups or around the scenic features.

Marketing don't run Fastrack at Chessie, Sales do - which is under commercial (same as retails and F&

lol.

Out of interest, where do you buy fastrack?

I would avoid UWL if I were you. LSBU would be a better option.

You can buy one (cash) when you leave the park at the Turnstiles.

Did anyone actually do Vampire: Haunting in the Hollows?

Usually people claiming back their lieu hours...if they can.

PM me, and it'll remind me to upload it and send it to you when I've got my laptop on next.

I doubt it. The "archives" stretch back to 2000 at the earliest. There is one guy who probably has it, but he'll never give it up. Speaking of the area though, I just found the original Translyvania Audio with the split, both Bubbleworks and Vampire. The Vampire side is just the usual vamp theme with some screams and howls added, but the Bubbleworks one is one I've never heard before - that said it is difficult to hear when one track is playing two different songs at the same time!

Well, I'll tell them to change it for you then!

The current Transylvania music was put on to create a 'happier' environment and also to create a longer loop for the offices in that part of the park. Also to align with the brand values of establishing the themed lands more coherently. The area down by the waterfall/Vampire entrance used to be on a seperate loop, but were then not operational for a while and have since been connected to the system for the rest of Transylvania.

So I checked my files, and it appears I may have the one you're talking about. It has crows cawing in it? And is quite quiet? The problem is that the file plays two songs simultaneously - essentially the left channel plays the main song and the right channel is playing the exterior. I've managed to split the track but I don't imagine the quality is great and it'll only come out of one speaker. PM me your email address I guess and I can send you the file?

That's why Chessington doesn't really use them for anything, and why it has employed it's own artist/designer for retheming things and new signs down Sealion bay pointing to the Trail of the Kings (Like the Creaky Cafe's new exterior)

It all stems from an issue with Merlin Studios, who this year refused to install any of Chessington's Halloween sets (The Trick or Treat set, the Black Forest Haunt Tower) because they were "too busy" with London Dungeon's move. So another company went and collected the sets and built them. Then when it came to taking them down Studios said they no longer had the room and therefore it has sat in the pathway.

Theming from Halloween has yet to be removed from the pathway.
