Wait... Saws open agin? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Didn't even ask for my pass numbers, haha all that for nothing! Just one more question where is the concerts going to be? I'm going the same day as little mix but haven't got tickets to the gig (I've seem them a few times before) was just wondering if I'd still be able to hear it around the park or is it in the dome?

£50 seems a bit steep for the beta when the full game is £20? Or is it just me?

Their portrayal is the newspapers/sites is getting beyond ridiculous now. I'm going to the towers next week and can't go by one day at work without someone mentioning something they read to me I.e "omg your still going, did you know 13 broke down today" tbh I don't think I've ever been to the park where every single ride was running constantly all day.

I will be getting the standard pass next Sunday, however that is the start of my holiday and I wall have no access to a computer/printer once my annual pass has been collected.

Does it ask for a pass number when you book? As I don't have a valid one till next weekend. (I have an expired one though) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Does anyone know the rules for buying tickets on the day? I won't be getting my annual pass till I go on holiday next weekend and am off to Thorpe on the 17th with no chance in between of getting on a computer/prebooking. Last year I bought my wristbands from the fastrack kiosk on the day. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Any estimation on wait times for the 26th? Hoping it won't be to bad as it's the Sunday before half term so most people will plan to go on the Monday?

That's so cool, we had our freshers fair today and I didn't see anything to do with Thorpe or Fright Nights, our shop does sell tickets to Thorpe and Alton though, so thats gonna be bonus when my annual pass runs out

Sorry for the double post.....Just a heads up, don't tie your hair up in a ponytail or anything when you go in the mazes, as the actors will grab it and try to pull it out :/ an actor managed to pull mine out in experiment 10 a couple of years ago and it actually hurt quite a bit :/

Been trying to steer clear of all the fright night talk as I wasn't sure if I was able to go this year but I booked my tickets yesterday so I can start to get excited! One thing I did notice is that Blair witch project now has a fast track which means j can go on it as the queue was too long last year for me so I went on some rides in the dark instead

Thorpe Park Trip Report 27/10/13 After our short 25min drive from our hotel (following our 4.5 hour drive the day before) we arrived at Thorpe at around 10:15. We then proceeded to the MAP office to pick up our shiny new passes before heading in to the park just after 10:45, I checked the queue times using the app and saw that the majority of the rides were still on 5-10 min queue with the exception of saw and swarm which were both already up to an hour. We headed toward X as we hadn’t been here since it got turned around and wanted to try it out. The ride seemed a lot tamer this way round in my opinion but I’m not sure if this is because we went to universal in the summer and spent a lot of time on The Mummy. After this we headed over to nemesis and it’s 5 min queue, as we got into the building we decided to queue for the front as there was not that much of a queue. However at this point the ride decided to break down on us and was then only running on one train. After about 15/20 mins of waiting it was our turn to ride and this was one of the best experiences I had that day, it is definitely better at the front and seeing the track appear before you without another car in front was an unusual experience, and one I haven’t experienced very often. Next we decided to buy or directors cut fast-tracks for later on in the evening an while we were there purchased some fastracks for the swarm backwards as this was something else we had not experienced yet. We then headed straight over to swarm and “braved it backwards” it was definitely odd going backwards and the only downside was that the theming and near misses were all missed due to you not seeing them till you’ve gone through them. We then headed over to Saw and it hour queue, but as we got inside we noticed that the queue was a lot shorter than it normally is when it’s a hour so we thought we’d be out quicker than expected, However after about 15 mins of queuing the ride broke down, we decided to stick it out an after around 20 mins the ride was up and running again, however after another 10 mins the cars disappeared again and we were left waiting another 10 mins before it was up and running again and we were finally lead into the building to “play a game”. By this point it was lunch time and we headed over to calypso for some chicken and watched a man Eat a ton of ribs (was that there all season or just fright nights). We still had an hour before our fastracks kicked in so we headed to Colossus as it had a half hour Queue, once we got the fastrack entrance the woman asked how long we’d be queuing, we worked it out to be 15/20 mins and she was surprised by this fact (even asked us if we meant this queue ) we then rode the 10 loops and headed over to asylum to watch the chainsaw guy in action. Then it was our turn to venture into Asylum, this maze seemed a lot longer than the last time I went in 2 years ago. Also the strobe lighting made it look like the walls were moving at numerous points during the maze, we lost half our group at one point due to a door being left open and the front of our group escaping outside, we then saw the group that went in before us being called back in and were then right behind us for the rest of maze making our group very large. I must say that the theming of the maze has had no lasting effect on me and I can tell that the actors in the maze were not real mental patients and that is not how they act. Our next maze was my bloody valentine, upon getting to the entrance we were told that we couldn’t enter as they were “dealing with an issue” so we waited around for about 10 minutes before witnessing a group of irish travellers being escorted out of these and threating to set off the fire alarms in the park! We then ventured into the maze and got told to be careful about driving home due to the storm before being told the story of Harry Warden. I’ve seen the remake of this film so kind of knew what to expect but other people in my group were a bit freaked by the first scene. We keep checking all the dark corners and actors made use of these very well. This was the only maze which made me scream (due to actors jumping out of darkness and right into my face). We escaped harry and carried on with our day. Our last maze was cabin in the woods (we didn’t bother with saw) this maze was my favourite of the new ones and I hope it’s back next year so I can experience it again. We had kiko this week but I don’t remember seeing her during the maze, the rooms I remember are a forest, wallpaper and deer head (with a door to the control room but didn’t get to go through) a room with a guy that was proclaiming his love for the girl in front of me, a tunnel, the room from the facebook videos, some long corridor that turned on itself with about 4 actors in it and the last room with the plaques. After surviving the mazes we headed for some rides in the dark we did swarm, Colossus and nemesis, the last two were not as fun due to the rain starting and hitting me in the face. We were going to queue for blair witch but we had a look when we came off nemesis and it looked awfull :l it was also raining pretty heavily by then so we called it a day at 9:30 and went back to the hotel. Ride list X x1 Swarm X1 backwards X1 forwards &dark Saw X1 Nemesis X1 Day X1 Night Colossus X1 Day X1 Night Mazes X1 (except saw) This is my first trip report so sorry if I’ve done anything wrong :L it also seems to be a bit long :L sorry again.

was there anything on in the 4d cinema? or was the noises heard just prep for next year?

we've used tesco clubcards to buy merlin passes, then we paid the £5 extra and are picking our passes up on the day we go up for fright nights. therefore I can't see them having an issue with using the clubcard points for a day tickets, however id check for exclusion dates on the clubcard site.

do premium pass holders need to book? I thought it was free for you guys?

got my tickets, it allows you to put your name in the box if you don't have a pass number and then pick up the tickets and the pass on the day! good news for me!! I didn't go last year but went the year before and we picked our tickets up from the annual pass office without having to wait in the main queue? is that not the way anymore?

okay so does that means I have to hope on the day that its not booked? were going up for the weekend as it takes half a day travelling there and back from home so we can only go on one day. We are going up on sunday october the 20th is this likely to be fully booked.

I'm so glad they announced this today as I'm away for the weekend and unsure of whether I'll have internet, and I don't think I could've waited until Monday to be able to check the site. Personally I always look forward to watching the construction updates as much as the reveal so now we know what is happening things might start happening on the park. I think that during this weekend or next week Thorpe will start to say what sort of attractions they will be and maybe even where they will be? And then work may start soon aswell due to the fact that they all of the mazes will need to be redesigned. do you guys think that the mazes will be the same layout and just different decorations/theming/actors or will they all be completely redesigned?

So me and my family are going to use tesco vouchers to get our merlin annual passes on the day we go up for fright nights.does anyone know how to go about booking the fright nights £5 tickets.

wow this has got me soo excited for October. I just need to watch the films now. Cabin in the woods and your next were on my list of films to see anyway. Does anyone know if the others are on netflix?

I didn't go on ex10 last year only the year before but from what I've heard/seen there was two videos showing either a male or female patient being operated on and then waking up and attacking the doctor, I then believe the patient (male or female depending on the video shown) burst through into the room and chased you out? correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is what happened.

That explains a lot then. Too be honest I think most people who knew they weren't genuine simply because they were using the old logo. Thorpe have just released a new image. along with the tagline "Can you guess what's around the corner? #FrightNights"

It doesn't give anything away though...... I was hoping for some sort of hint about fright nights.

Does anyone know when to expect an announcement from Thorpe park? I'm guessing sometime next month?
