    It all makes sense now..
  2. I guess if this is cra*p Chessington Buzz can't get any worse than TPC.. IMO it would be a pointless additon. Chessington needs loads of things, this ain't one of them.
  3. if it does happend, I'm gonna miss them. I think MBV and TCINTW were starting to get stale anyway. I'm gonna really miss BWP, it only just gotten really good in the last year or so. Sadly I think Thorpe might keep Saw Alive, which is a shame because that is starting to get dire. I hope they actually give the new mazes good themes, and not just non similar versions of the lionsgate mazes..
  4. If it does I'm gonna miss BWP the most, but MBV and Saw going.. TCINTW will also be missed, but I guess in the coming years we can see new mazes to refresh the event.
  5. TBH I'm not bothered with these budget cuts at all. Flume is dull anyway, The other two aren't that popular in the coldness of October. The staggerd opening times are nothing compared to some other theme parks cough* Portaventura *cough.
  6. There was also quite a lot in the pre-show about losing your money...

    Chessington?

    Sadly Cabin had no Ballerina or fornicus on my run through, and MBV is gas-maskless. What have Thorpe done? Has there costume department disapeared? MBV would of the best for me if there was gas masks. Like who needs Harry Warden, it isn't like he is the main KILLER in the film....

    Urmm around 8ish, I probably just got lucky and got a good run through.

    I guess it lasting two days is impressive for Samurai...

    Well it is face it alone...

    Well Saw Alive has always been disapointing TBH, Big Top IMO is ok. I would say the first tent is utter cra*p, but the last two tents make it alright. All the other mazes are good IMO, the only thing I didn't like is the operations...but thats because it is operated by a company called Merlin.

    I am the only one who liked them? I thought Big Top was decent, MBV was way better than last year.I thought BWP was even better than last year. What didn't you like about them?
  14. SPOILERS AHEAD! So in the last week FN has been running, I sadly couldn't go until today but here's my review.. Big Top: Now, people have said this maze is awful, but you may expect me to say Big Top is bad but... I liked it, IMO Big Top is good.. It isn't perfect with sections feeling a little unispired with loads of black curtians from IKEA.. IMO the only bad part of Big Top is the first tent, it just lacks scares. The second tent is confusing and full of strobes and dead ends. The third tent is also strobe city with also loads of random props and stuff, the scares here is quite effective and made me jump.Then the total non cliched orginal ending happends....8/10 Blair Witch Project: BWP was great on my run, there is just so much tension now that the bushes and trees have overgrown a little. The actors were great at hiding and jumping out, the ending? The shed was manic when I went in, 4 ACTORS! Two jumping out in the first bit of the shed, the other two were grabbing me and chasing me out.. 9/10 The Cabin In The Woods: The Cabin was good, not the best run through I had through it. In the ending there was 2 actors, it felt like it wasn't as manic as previous. Maybe its just a bad run through. The actors it had though were great, one actor grabbed me, one made a tunnel for me to walk through. great maze needs more actors. 7/10 Containment: Containment was very fun, not scary, but intresting. The actors were very crazy and good at making us jump but, overall it was more fun than anything scary. Its barely worth the 8£. The best bit had to be a doctor in the dentist section, he was hilarous, he was mad! Overall I would say 9/10 for fun, but 3/10 for scares. My Bloody Valentine: My Bloody Valentine was great tonight, sadly we did have to wait a bit due to the maze stopping (I think it was actor assualt). The maze started off with the actor telling you the story, after that a actor forced one man one way on his own, and us the other way. The maze was mad after that, we went through a squeze bag, a forest, a sloping tunnel! Funnily enough the maze had no actors with gas masks on! Its funny when the icon of the film is nowhere to be seen.. Overall a great maze, 9/10 Sadly didn't get to SA, gonna do it when I next go to FN.. Overall I don't see the negative reviews, the mazes were all good-to great. Ride count: MBV 1 TCINTW 1 BWP 1 CONTAINMENT 1 Big Top 2 Swarm 1

    I'm going on friday,hopefully the operations aren't awful...
  17. JoshuaA replied to Artie's topic in The Past
    TBH it isn't too bad if Slammer went, the area is big enough for a large flat to go in. Anyway if they put more money into it I don't think it would last that long.
  18. JoshuaA replied to Phill's topic in The Real World
    I admit, that pun was really bad.. I bet this post will make all the girls want to have you..
  19. JoshuaA replied to Phill's topic in The Real World
    I used to be not camp, but then I was a campmate in IAC..
  20. I think it could be mack, that's just a wild guess.
  21. its got its scary moments,its also mixed in with humor. It is quite dark and loud, but nothing compared to FN mazes. The only scary part for me was Jack the Ripper, all the other scenes are just funny..
  22. JoshuaA replied to Jack F's topic in The Past
    TBH for me its disapointing they can't even get attraction ready for opening. Anyway it isn't hard to pull of a circus theme. All you need is some sparse curtians from ikea... Hopefully Big Top can return next year with upgrades.
  23. JoshuaA replied to JoshC.'s topic in Alton Towers
    I'm a bit disapointed to see most of it is blindfolded,specially on how dull Hellements is. Hopefully the ending makes up for it..
