That WOULD be funny. You know, that's an avenue for them! Say that you're on a reality TV show that goes wrong... In any case I'm pretty sure that we will get at least 1 new attraction (If not, I'll be annoyed). On the subject of other mazes, as in the ones on the Lionsgate IP - what improvements would you like to see? There were incredibly mixed opinions from around the internet. Some called all the mazes an improvement, whilst others cited most as tame and funny. However, one thing that was universally agreed on was that Blair Witch was incredible compared to previous years! Certainly based on last year, I would like to see it return (possibly along with another Scare Zone). Also, Reserve n ride is back from the 23rd of October.... thoughts?

Yeah, I'm beginning to see that tents may be the best option here.... I definitely do not want to see ANYTHING less than we've had before... If s13 is relocated into a tent and park wide theming Is introduced then I could probably abide with it (on a side note, next year, when the IP is gone, do you think thorpe will renew it?) . Now, the problem that I have with this is queuing. As we saw last year, there are only 3 things thorpe can do: 1: don't oversell fast track 2: increase fast track price exponentially 3: build more attractions I don't see the first two happening as Thorpe will want as many as possible to buy fast tracks and get more money. I do possibly see the last one and fully hope for it **pleeeeeaase**. Also, they need to get their asses into gear and stop one train operation! You know, last year was so predictable! Everyone panicked over whether or not the asylum replacement would exist and if it would be good... This year seems to be quite interesting.

Wow! A setup maze like the Sanctuary? Good idea! It would make sense. I mean, if you look at the plans, its fairly obvious it's a 'scary' theme with boarded windows and abandoned building feel. People have been talking about a CCR ghost train for a couple of years now, and this year it would make more sense than ever! I just don't want the best Thorpe event of the year to be shat on because of a frankly terrible family attraction (IAC), and a closed off area(WC16). A side note: Would we assume CCR would be aimed at families, or would they do something inventively horrifying with it... I was trawling through the old records of 2014 fright nights and came across the following.... it's probably not to be taken seriously, but if true, then we could have a cool new maze coming....

^^ Yeah I certainly agree that last year publicity ramped the popularity to an impossible level where queues were unacceptable. Solution: more mazes (ideal solution: no fast-track, but we know that's never going to happen). But tents on the beach feels a bit like returning to the past before improvements... However, that said, if it means we get extra mazes - then I will not hesitate in supporting it. On a sidenote, the Thorpe Park Fight Nights FB page mentioned relocation of MBV to 'the island' (and by that, they don't mean TP!).

I mean, I assume that they will do something with it for fright nights (its almost a given), and the 2016 development is shaping up to be an addition to their lineup then by the looks of things. But this year, they've got to develop it Halloween style, and that's gonna be hard to do (as the layout is filled with non adaptable trivial challenges that would make a scare maze hard to create). However, its got a tunnel, and individual booths... do I sense potential? The only other theory I sense, if they were to do this, would be to have planned it already. I know its a long shot, but in the I'm a celebrity layout, there may be setups for a possible fright nights maze. The only basis for this reasoning would be that Thorpe wouldn't remove a maze without replacement, as they need to improve on their offering every year (or else the public will rip them apart). I mean, look what Alton did to Sub Terra... it went from an abomination to an incredible experience with a small bit of work. With the recent news that Alton just added new mazes to their lineup, will Thorpe be overtaken this year?

Indeed, and with I'm a Celeb being torn apart by every human being, they need to do something with it to invigorate it. The only problem would be the fact that the layout isn't suited to a horror maze with all the challenges and incredibly short runthrough. So unless they modified it (or created essentially what would be a family attraction), it would most likely be ineffective. However, I just took a peak at last years chat, and it's basically the same - everyone expected a family attraction and then we got Studio 13. The only change is that last year, the asylum disappeared whereas this year, there is a clear retheme...

Hey guys, I know it's only May, but I think it's time to bring up the subject of Fright Nights! As you probably know, the Thorpe website very recently changed the year in their description from 2014 to 2015..... so it now reads So, what do you guys think this means? Are we just to expect what we had for the previous two years? Will Thorpe introduce new mazes? Will they keep 'Studio 13'? What improvements would you like to see? And do you think they will utilize their new 'I'm a celeb' maze? Discuss!!
