I think the outside section was actually pretty decent IMO.
I got few good scares in that section on my first run through, though some theming and more hiding spaces would be nice.
 
The tunnel is truly dreadful though..
As BaronC said some audio, and some floor type changes and maybe even some elevation and it'd be decent.
 
Though I think The Tunnel would work better in the beginning/middle of the attraction.
If you look at Tulleys the dark sections are usually used to build tension during the beginning/middle of the mazes, and with Platform this usually meant you were walking out bored from that annoyingly boring long walk in the dark you just did.
 
I don't think Thorpe are gonna be the able to do a full U turn like they did with Big Top, but I think Platform could be Ok/Decent if they give the Tunnel some actual atmosphere.
 
 
 

Everyone goes home because Rumba is closed.

Doing the tulleys escape room today, I'll see if I can get any pictures or see anything to update you guys on

Hmm maybe I went the second weekend then?

Suggests to me that VIXI was always meant to just be a retheme of Hellements, but the name change is there to manage expectations. 

Is it just me or does it look like it won't even take a minute to get through this?

They have announced everything though?
The only thing they haven't told us is much of a description on the mazes, though they have announced the full lineup.
 
I really think some things are best left secrets though, so Tulleys current approach of not spilling much beans on VIXI is just making me more intrigued on whats gonna happen in the new attraction. Anyway we pretty much know what's gonna happen at Tulleys this year.

Not really. Did it the first year was a bit silly. Not scary and it was all a bit rushed

Also noticed how they aren't rating the mazes with stars this year? I know it won't make any difference whatsoever to us enthusiasts, but the GP must be absolutely horrified? 

If my mates z list celeb brother can get me in then yes 100% but it's not looking likely 

Thursday 28th September 18:30-23:00

I hope they actually announce the full lineup tomorrow instead of just teasing us even more.

The pikeys come to fright nights every year without fail anyway, they don't care what's new And what's not. Thorpe know the gippos will give them money.

Oh I think it will. TWD is a massive IP which is of a greater relevance than any of Thorpe's current mazes. For the last few years the park have created one new non IP maze as that year's pull - so a large IP themed one would surely do more than that!?
 
2015: random clown maze - managed to pull guests in.
2016: random train maze - managed to pull guests in.
2017: a relevant 'global phenomenon' themed maze - Erm I think it will manage to pull guests in alright.

You're definitely overthinking it? I'm just expecting last years lineup with twd now

What day are you going then? If you're going before the 6th please do a review or write up or something so I know what my priorities should be!

I doubt the layout will change, but if they could I think it would work a lot better with the strobe maze as the second half after the actual themed scenes. Because then they could make the final chainsaw corridor strobed too and that would be so cool.

I shall be indeed as well as others, keep an eye around the forum and I'm sure many links will be posted  

Way better than walking dead

Way better than walking dead

no. 

Why on earth would the ouija board be for the big top?! Surely it's for the final scene of platform, I also thought that the flashlight could be but now you say it it makes more sense for Blair witch.

Us enthusiasts are commonly labelled as 'stupid' and 'weirdos', so I thought it'd be cool to see how everybody did at school as I know a lot of you guys are probably actually extremely clever!
 
I myself got 6 A*s, 3 As and a B at GCSE and just found out today that I got 3 As at A levels! Not trying to brag but I am definitely not 'stupid'...
the 'weirdo' one is debatable though!

Am I the only one who has never watched an episode of the walking dead?
