Looking forward to JackSilkstone's Closed Season Update video with a thumbnail that says "NEW HYPERCOASTER CONFIRMED?!?!?!?" or similar ?

The next Thorpe Park coaster??
 
What I hope for - an RMC with an original theme.
 
What I expect - a Pinfari wacky worm themed to Insidious!!

That's good to know.
 
Just watched The Jack Silkstone's vlog from the sick AP preview night of sorts - have to say the roaming clowns looked good from that. Have also read complaints from the beloved MAP'ers group that they were too scary and were frightening their children... perhaps some research before visiting would be a good idea to a theme park that is allegedly the Year Of The Living Dead (and Love Island) when bringing your kiddy winks ?

They also mention in the photo descriptions that a "chair" and "seat" is what's fallen off when that isn't the case - but hey - who needs facts...

They've clearly just thought "Big Top was popular, but we can't be bothered to build it up... I know, let's get its name on the event without actually having to bother with the maze!"

I do hope Vulcan peak is sponsored by Iceland, with the grand finale a battle royale between Kerry Katona and Katie Price. Or I’m boycotting it.
in all seriousness I’m taking this leak with a large pinch of salt... all will be revealed tomorrow.

There has to be some pretty good reason if Big Top isn’t to return this year.
 
*snaps fingers*

 
 

Zombie Hunt and Saw Alive both had their last day's of operation for the summer today. Surely a lineup is imminent at this point?
Last year the reveal was on September 5th, so maybe it'll be the same/similar this year. We'll have to wait and see.

Thankfully the 16/17 team had no involvement in Walking Dead related mazes :).   Platform 15 was tosh in 16, but that just rings to money related issues

Big Top v1 was atrocious though, it has been much better in 2016/17 through leaving more time to get it built up and configured well - that and the fact it was pretty much an entirely different maze to the 2015 version.
 
I don't think the lack of any construction is too worrying at this stage, but leave it much longer and it means there's less time to build a decent quality attraction and a rush job is more likely.
 
Also, I don't personally find outdoor mazes to have the same appeal, so TBT swapped for Blair Witch (IF that is what's happening) would be very disappointing IMO.

Nah, sod Asylum or Experiment 10, the maze everyone wants back for 2018 is the amazing ‘The Passing’ of course! Always missed those highly detailed white-painted walls, UV death certificate and the £3 up-charge, all with a black bag over your head the entire time, hiding your eyes from Hellgate’s previous theming.
 
But, admittedly, 2010’s ‘Dead End Terror Zone’ is the one that needs to come back more than any other. Nothing screamed “2nd to Disney” quality more than a single actor jumping out from behind Mr. Giraffe with a Tesco Value Halloween mask on their face.
 
Ah, those were the days... ?

Asylum returning confirmed.
 
(Not really )

So basically you are still guessing, with little to no evidence or any rumours!  Can I see the copy of the Lionsgate contract you have?
 
Could you also add some structure to your post, it's all over the place and very hard to follow. Adding paragraphs for each maze, would have been wonderful. 

Nasher - I’m not quoting your previous comment as it is too long but...
 
Jesus bloody Christ! I’m sorry but did you go to school? Or even nursery? 
 
Also most of the ‘rumours’ you mention are your own awful opinion that you try to cover up with the word ‘rumour’. We all see it bud!
 
Its just completely absurd that you think Studio 13 could return but not Blair witch, when the Blair witch path is literally the only space with enough room which is deemed ‘safe’ for the park to use for a RUMOURED (correct use of the word) new attraction.
 
I’m sorry if this comes across as offensive or rude but I’m sure I’m being the voice of many others who don’t say it as they don’t want a warning or ban from the site.
 
STOP FILLING THESE FORUMS WITH YOUR STUPIDITY!!!!
 

?
 
Blair witch will be back. Sorry. 
 
 
 
Saw Alive has always been on a boat. Sorry.

Nasher, I’m sorry.
 
Fantastic thoughts and opinions there, honestly, truly magical, and how you’ve reached some of those conclusions, you deserve a pop badge or something....
 
But come on man, paragraphs, grammar, spaces - I’ve got to go and lie down after that absolute twaddle. I’ve got a headache.
 
By the way, Saw Alive has always been on a boat...

I must admit I do find the theories funny. I love how much stock people take from the staff. I do think it’s a bit like Chinese whispers amongst staff. I also find it incredibly hard to believe that the management of the park tell seasonal staff all of the latest information. 
 
As for the Studio 13 stuff, it might come back, but how often do you ever see a maze come back thats been totally canned?? The props are used in zombie hunt but is that not as zombie hunt was low budget and somewhere there is a bit warehouse of the old props they decided to use?? 
 
How about we all just enjoy the summer and see what the park announces??? 

??‍♂️?

The idiocy and ignorance of some of the comments on this thread is unbearable???‍♂️

I preferred it in the days they used the midnight syndicate music. For several years every attraction had a different track. It's very generic audio wise now days and reduces the atmosphere greatly IMO. You couldn't beat humpty dumpty on Detonator!
 
I still thoroughly enjoyed platform 15 and, Big Top last season and am still looking forward to FN this year. 
 
 
 

That is vile.

Apparently Vortex has The Swarms wind sensor as The Swarms old wind sensor broke and to keep a major ride running they swapped sensors which meant vortex was running without one which explains why at the start of the 2018 season during windy days the gondula was getting carried very high and shutting down regulary, this may not be true but this is what ive heard from staff and other enthusiasts and they could be waiting on a new wind sensor for Vortex!.

LOVE ISLAND COMING TO THORPE PARK?!
 
'An Island Like No Other'
 
 
So as I saw there was no forum topic on this so I thought I would create this!. So as you may know that there is a show called Love Island which first aired in 2015 and grew very popular since with the young adults and many other audiences. Love Island is pretty self explanatory it is a dating show on an island in which people couple up with each other and face challenges as a couple in order for the final couple to win 50k between them!. 
 
So this rumour of Love Island has been going around the Resort for a couple years now and I think this year may be the year in which Love Island comes to the resort. So the first hints of love island were on Thorpe Park Resort Instagram story in which you could see iconic quotes from the series such as 'muggy' - used in season 3 which tagged Mike also known as Muggy Mike and other quotes from the series which gave us the first hint. The second hint came from this video uploaded by Thorpe Park on the 11th June which it showed the beach background and a iphone text message with the contact saved as a 'love heart and island' which could mean this is pointing at love island due to the emojis used. The video then carries on with a message from one to another saying 'are you ready for the 26th July' which could show a date for when this love island attraction comes to Thorpe Park or just an announcement. I would also like to say on the contacts image on the phone has the green screen background for the islanders photo before they come to the love island villa which is also another hint.
 
Love Island coming to Thorpe Park is significantly possible due to Thorpe Parks target audience is young adults & adults mainly which are the main target audience which watch love island, plus the tag line for TP is 'An Island Like No Other' referring to the 'Island' and this would fit the theme of love island. Another reason is that Love Island is owned by ITV, which ITV have a very good relationship with Thorpe Park and Merlin as I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Maze was approved by Thorpe and ITV. Also X Factor was filmed at Thorpe Park last year during the auditions and X Factor and have filmed The Only Ways Essex which are both on ITV which makes a more likely chance due to the relationship that love island may come to the Thorpe Park Resort.
 
We are still unsure what this could be, could it be an maze attraction including actors with challenges or experience like I'm a celeb or could it be like Transformers Tour in the summer last year, or could it be something on the amity beach? Or it may be like X Factor filmed at Thorpe Park but for Aftersun:Love Island or Crackin' On After Love Island? Or it may be something smaller scaled such as screening the show at The Dome?.
 
What do you think it will be and do you like the idea that Love Island is coming to THORPE PARK!?
 
I personally think it is quite stupid although it will attract an audience and will be pretty pointless even though I watch Love Island myself and enjoy watching the show I dont think it will be liked by other people but we will have to wait and see what it is and if I and you enjoy whatever love island brings to the island like no other!.
 
-I LOVE THE ISLAND LIKE NO OTHER-
