From recent posts on facebook it seems the scares zones are avoidable. So I think it is likeley they will be similar to last year.

Hopefully they get the mist sorted out one day... Anyway glad to see it running better, can't wait to night ride it!

Oh no, prepare yourself for the wrath of my bad puns. What do you call a biased hippo? A hippocrite!

Taken at Tulleys The Howl, with Esmerelda!

I went on the first sunday of Scarefest last year, it was hell. Que jumping everywhere, fights happening. The travellers weekend at scarefest is the scarier than any maze in the UK!

I think Thorpe will keep it for a while now.. In the last 2-3 years Thorpe has poured loads of money into it..

I guess then HITH was scrapped for budget cut reasons then, or something on the lines of that. It's a shame, I actually thought the event was better than FN. Maybe if things pick up next year they can add a 3 attraction?

Is the park decorations any good? Or are they just some scattered bits round the park.

I wonder how long it will last now...

TBH its pathetic how on and off it is. Thorpe FN is one of the worst managed Halloween event in the UK.. I am disapointed, even Thorpe itself has done better than this.

Can you change your name on here anyway?

Should be, Coasterforce are quite a trustworthy soruce..

She also says that fastrack is going to be oversold,and thats going to be the scariest part of the evening..

I'm going friday, how busy will it be?

Today is national coming out day! *Opens closet door

For me the park dosen't need thrill to make a good park. Look at Legoland Windsor,beautiful park. IMO chessington needs general upkeep of there rides, this year almost all the main rides have been faulty. Dragons Fury,Rattlesnake,Vampire,Bubbleworks,and Tombs. And Scorpion has a awful thorughput, so it can barely help.

Thorpe need to get there sh*t together. Was thinking of visiting tonight but I'm glad I went to Tulleys instead. Hopefully things pick up a little,it shouldn't be that manic on opening weekend.

Tulleys the howl is a new scream park at mead open farm. Tonight was preview night, here's my review! Haunted House: Haunted House is beautifully themed, with dark rooms and eerie sounds it is very similar to HH in Shocktoberfest. The maze was full of rooms and actors staring at us, overall a very creepy maze. 3/5 The Shed: The Shed is a great maze, with scares similar to the cellar. It is very impressive with scares being impressive overall. One section was similar to the cellar having a inflatable animal. My only gripe is that there was a good section with no actors in the middle of the maze. The ending made some sense, good maze. 3.5/ 5 Mr. Toppers Slay Barn: Mr.Toppers is the parks clown maze. It is similar to other clown mazes with curtains and chaos! My favorite part of the maze had to be a section with a clown with a machine gun! One criticism had to be there was a stretch of no actors at the start of the maze. 2/5 The Dark: The dark is great, with long periods of dark sections. It also has SHOCK pads. In the maze the actors are dressed up as werewolfs. The "Werewolfs" carried torches too to make more impact in the dark sections. One point was so dark we got stuck! IMO this maze is like the better relation to the Volt. 4/5 Squealers Yard: Squealers Yard was... Amazing. To start off offered a smart section leaving one member of our group getting put through the maze on there own! The actors were everywhere, shouting pig related nonsense. In one room a actor was about 6.7 tall, he chased me, I was terrified. The maze weaved in out of outdoor and indoor sections, The ending with the chainsaw was effective, maybe a little cliche.. Great maze, very scary. 5/5 Roamers: roamers where great, I saw Esmerelda, grandma,chasity, and the twins. All providing friendly banter. 5/5 Some more photos: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/imindetonator

Happy birthday to Coasterdude!

I wonder if they could do a maze in the marquee next to swarm?

Just saying Slammer probably won't last too long if it keeps being a maintenance hog. Whats the point in pouring loads of money into something which is dead..

I guess they can put there resources into Trick Or Treat Wood and Curse Of The Lost Tomb. And hopefully the lighting isn't just floodlights..

TBH I wouldn't mind Slammer leaving.. And come on it isn't like its going to last for the next decade. Also it takes loads of space up so a decent sized flat could fit there, But I see Samurai leaving first though.
