Yay even less money for the Merlin parks which are already struggling with a lack of staff

Incredibly speculative, but I wonder if the 'The Village' part could possibly link to a new section of the maze featuring an open village rather than just a linear maze. Again, purely an ambitious idea.

Seems Pandemonium has been replaced with another carnival themed maze. Hopefully 'The Twisted Clowns' won't feature the ridiculous 3D effects in Pandemonium last year. Interesting name for the new maze, however. I assume this is the official name and not a codename, but what does it mean? It's not in standard roman numeral format which is what it seems to be. It is a Latin word which links to the theme: first-person singular perfect active indicative of vīvō "I have lived, I lived" "I have been alive, I was alive, I have survived, I survived" "I have resided in, I resided in" Also waiting for the website to be updated with the new info.

Colossus has a new theme?

Either the plans fell through or Thorpe will throw something together last second, true Merlin style.

I got the Sennheiser HD 518 and they are great. Clear sound from bass, mids and highs, as well as a wide soundstage due to the open back. If you want to spend a bit more the HD 558 are a good idea as well.

The idea was there for Hellements, just not the execution.

I'd prefer to see the medieval maze without a hood as they could do amazing theming with the idea. However, if they could improve the scare factor with unexpected screams and develop the story to make you a prisoner facing the death sentence, maybe feature bits without the hood, it would work well that way as well.

Last year was my first year and most of the mazes were unlike anything I had seen previously at Fright Nights etc. Pandemonium was new last year so at the very most I see them removing/adding features and keeping the overall maze. I think Cellar, Chop Shop, and Hellements have uniqueness and incredible theming which is a strong argument for them staying, whereas Colony has little theming from what I can remember so can easily be adapted to the new theme. Coven could also be replaced, but I'd rather see them develop the idea they already had, which was abstract and really promising, and perhaps extend the maze almost to the length of Colony by adding longer outdoor paths with more theming to do with the ritual and it could become one of the best mazes at the park. Regarding the two extended mazes, I'd like to see Colony extended and developed as previously mentioned, as well as Chop Shop being extended to feature more areas based around tension. This is because the maze last year seemed repetitive and had little structure later on in the maze. By splitting up the areas of loud chainsaws and in-your-face scares, I would like to see more theming in gloomier areas to make the maze more of an all-round maze featuring loud noises and aggressive actors as well as creepy corridors with blind corners with little lighting. What they have already is great, but could easily be improved to avoid it getting stale towards the end.

The most recent one was 2015 so I created one for this season:

Noticed the most recent thread for Tulley's was a 2015 one, so here is a new one to speculate ideas and rumours about the coming 2017 event.

A bit more evidence supporting the Walking Dead idea.

Pretty much sums up what has already been announced but they posted a blog about what's happening this year.

Agreed, towards the end of last season I noticed the mist effects rarely operating, but this season it looks better than ever.

Jart will appear when his presence is required.

Appreciated

Anyone got any pictures of this poster?

Alright cheers

Hi all, Is there any way to guarantee my entry tomorrow if I have an annual pass? I think I remember it not guaranteeing entry. Thanks.

Can anyone make out the title of the presentation? Just curious as to what the topic of it was.

Hi all, I'm new to the forums but was wondering if the Thorpe Park press night tickets were usable by other people. My friend offered me one because his dad, who works for a newspaper, can't make it. I was wondering if we would still be allowed in or if they would see it wasn't him and deny us entry. Thanks in advance.
