My review of mazes/atmosphere/theming and soundtracks yesterday: Theming around the park was alright more could of been done but the theming for mazes were excellent exterior and interior aswell as the bridge. Sound tracks around the park were very good and fit the them well, but they could have changed the ride station sound track instead of stale old 'lets keep this a quick cut.... Lightss....... Camera............... Action!.' Atomsphere was very good with alot of roaming actors that were very good and before leaving all of them on the bridge also the lighting this year is very cool and the merchandise is alright maybe could've had a bigger range. BIg Top: 9/10 very Intense maze this year, my favourite, the sound track is brilliant and I love the touch of the safety talk via speakers also used in Platform 15, Overall experience the strobe room is very good I got lost and this year I found it very disorientating and actors were very good, I loved the mirror maze and the multiple choice doors and the finale was great as all ways and the walking dead refence was good and the theming and actors was very good I got stalked tickled and even a hand put down my back this year. TWD Santum: 8/10 Very good maze, I loved the theming and actors were very good I got pinned in the corner once and got touched from every angle, Terminus scenes were good. Shout Out to Robert for giving me a Intense experience also it had alot of actors both good in day and dark. They could of played a sound track around the attraction or used the recording they used at press event more often. Platform 15: 8/10 very good improvement, I loved the soundtrack the theming and all the new parts like the village the actors were very good aswell and the smoke made it very good too with also suspense built from the zig zags. Very good maze but had a pointless crawling tunnel and the ending was a bit poor. Saw Alive: 6/1o A good maze as always very intense the actors were very good in there this year and the theming is good as always nothing more to say but is getting a bit stale now. TWD: Living Nightmare: 6/10 A bit overhyped, but is a good maze it had incredible theming and the soundtrack was good got quite a few jumpy scares but when I did it I found a lack of actors and the maze is quite short. Was a great year for fright nights hopefully I get even better runthroughs in future visits Thorpe can do good mazes but they love there IPS and I think there should be half and half IPS and Original attractions like Big Top and Platform 15.

Yeah, I asked Thorpe why Vortex was down all yesterday because thats when I visited and I mentioned about the Ohio State Fair accident; and they replied with the thoughts to all affected in that accident but vortex is temporarily closed as a precaution and they are in close contact with HSE on developments as all our rides undergo thorough maintenance regimes and subject to annual inspections by accredited third party inspection bodies and regular audits by HSE.

While I was at Thorpe Park yesterday; where Blair Witch is I saw alot of mini trucks with planks of wood and metal, I believe heading down to loggers leap and platform 15 site whether its for platform or loggers who knows?. But I think they've been clearing it out down there too but I'm not too sure on that, has anyone gone down monks walk recently?.

I have Beats Solo 2s they are brilliant and some are pretty cheap if I'm honest and it has amazing high quality sound and the Bass OMG its literally sooo good, but I find the wireless headphones any brand worse quality then wired ones in my opinion. But Beats Solo 2 is a good shout!. Callum

I agree although I love the franchise, I loved the first saw film and yeah the rest was meh the only good things was the traps and the plot twists. Also theres been a rumour that this is a new beginning like to the start of a new series of the franchise so it is rumoured to be like saw and be like JIGSAW, JIGSAW II, JIGSAW III, JIGSAW IV, JIGSAW V ect..

Hello THORPE PARK MANIA, just a quick question; does anyone know about some nights or is it not going ahead or if it hasn't been planned because I have no idea and keep on getting different answers.

May see you there going at the start of August when are you going?

I have changed the description, as you pointed out I did not see it at first but it is highly inaccurate, I cannot remember what website I got the description from, but I am now using the wiki to portray the film a bit more accurately then the past description.

Hello people of THORPE PARK MANIA, As we know Saw is a legendary franchise in the film industry and a description of the films The franchise revolves around John Kramer, also called the "Jigsaw Killer" or simply "Jigsaw". He was introduced briefly in Saw and developed in more detail in Saw II. Rather than killing his victims outright, Jigsaw traps them in situations that he calls "tests" or "games" to test their will to live through physical or psychological torture. Despite the fact that John was murdered in Saw III, the films continue to focus on the posthumous influence of the Jigsaw Killer and his apprentices by exploring his character via flashbacks. Firstly it was revealed that the new film to carry on the legacy of the fresh start to the saw franchise was going to be 'Saw:Legacy' but then was later changed to Jigsaw. A trailer was released today from Lionsgate films themself. JIGSAW Trailer 2017 October 27th My opinion on this trailer is that I found it was very unrealistic but the traps shown in the trailer have looked okay so far, I just hope that the film comes out to be a great film. Whats your opinions on the trailer of Saw?. #SAW8 #JIGSAW #LIONSGATE 'Wanna play a game?' -Callum

If I'm honest in my opinion is that Old town is going to close everything in there and the whole area is going to have redevelopment, and possibly a re-theme with a new rollercoaster in the new area but that is just my theory.

Wait why is that there..... I'm acc laughing my head off rn please explain.

Sorry :3 I did not know

Anyone got any ideas what the new ip is going to be? I know its most likely going to be a universal film because Thorpe keep on dropping hints at them. I cant wait for fright nights this year I think its going to be a good year if thorpe play there cards right and make Platform 15 a better scarezone/attraction and Big Top last year was brilliant and Saw was okay last year improvement of actors in there last year. So what do u think fright nights is going to turn out like?

Once I heard this guy talking to his friend and we were in the Saw The Ride queue line and he said 'Some people have died on this before, just play the game' and this wasnt a joke cause they were both so serious.

I'm not too sure about when they did, but I know they did sell pop badges although they do not now.

Hi Archei, or welcome should I say!? I have been going to thorpe park for quite a long time now and they haven't sold pop badges since like 1980s but they do sell pin badges and you can also ask staff to swap pop badges as the staff member sometimes have pop badges and some are willing to swap for another badge. -Callum

The first time I rode the ghost train this year I found no glitches and it was a good surprising experience and I very much enjoyed it. On my recent visit I rode it for a second time the operations were good and it was the best run through I had on it all effects working and actors were onpoint, and credit to one of the thorpe staff who recognised me and gave the whole batch a more intense experience, he also thought it would be funny to go to me and try to drag me off my seat. 9/10 good upgrade this year, although it still lacks a bit of scares and some glitches/effects here and there but overall great update to the ghost train, and if thorpe continue this upgrade through future years it could come out to be a actually scary and thrilling ghost train.

Slammer is a free fall adreline rush and is a beauty as It is the last one alive. But It isnt on the ride list on their website :/ but it is still located in old town on the new map? This is lead to me being so confused could this be the end of the sky swats including the only one slammer.

Omg it has nooo slammer, its a quality ride, was it open on preview day?

Okay, thank you.

Just a quick question, as I have a ticket for THORPE PARK RESORT AP PREVIEW DAY, I was wondering whether It will be busy or not based on previous years or the number of tickets being given out on eventbrite. Thank you Regards Callum

I think that they will move the 2 new rides to Amity beach as it would not fit in Old Town and why would they have 2 water themed areas so I do not believe that they will retheme Old Town to a water based themed area. The location of the water themed kiddie drop tower would fit perfect in the spot behind Tidal Wave Station and Flying Fish Entrance and replace those lockers and put new lockers around the park and I thought the rock nd tug would fit behind Depth charge as it would only fit the Amity beach and even if they rethemed canada creek they would have two water themed areas it just wouldnt make sense at all so I believe they have came over from Weymouth and they have had no where to store it so they have just placed it in Old town as (it is getting redeveloped), but thats just my opinion what will happen for next year.

Even though this is a late comment as fright nights is over but to buy a ANNUAL PASS on site it is the same as online, but if you already own a ANNUAL PASS and you want to buy a ticket to enter on the day it depends on how many people are in the park and it goes from £5 onwards so if its nearly full capacity or is then it would be £15 for entry, If I were you I would book online in advance to guarentee entry to the park and for a cheaper price.

Thats what I totally was thinking I thought that water themed kiddie drop tower would fit perfect in the spot behind Tidal Wave Station and Flying Fish Entrance and replace those lockers and put new lockers around the park and I thought the rock nd tug would fit behind Depth charge as saffy and RobF said it would only fit the Amity beach and even if they rethemed canada creek they would have two water themed areas it just wouldnt make sense at all.

I believe I saw it just where the 2nd drop is (double drop). But dont quote me on that it might of just been some of the path of platform 15.
