While I don't have an issue with this being implemented, it contradicts what support told me while I was trying to organise my FN booking! I'd been asking how accessibility would work with mazes this year for the past few weeks, since the RAP system underwent significant changes in general. I always thought it odd that there was no timecard for mazes. But yeah, specifically asked about that ahead of making a Shark booking, because I didn't want to go at all if mazes need RAP this year and I can't get RAP for the date of my stay. Initially, staff were uncertain, said they thought you probably wouldn't need dated RAP just for mazes this year, but said get one if you can just to be safe (I've been trying to get one since the release back in August, still no joy!) Just over a week ago, I asked again in case anyone had a solid answer, as I wanted to get on and book the stay before rooms sell out for the 1 specific date I can visit on. The final answer I got from support in the form of an email response was that a RAP booking won't be needed for mazes, only rides. For mazes, just show your access card and you'll be allowed to enter the fast track queue. You can safely go ahead and book your stay at the Shark Cabins... so I did! But then this new info suggests what I was told isn't actually true after all? Or do they not mean that you need a specific dated RAP? You just show your Nimbus Card/Merlin RAP App to prove that you do have an access pass, even if you don't have RAP for the day of your visit? I'm so confused and stressed out by all this, and I don't want any trouble/embarrassment on the day :(

I had an account here yonks ago and posted in relation to Fright Nights, but must've been attached to an old (now defunct) email address, as I can't seem to recover it! Anyways, mainly just wanted to have a moan, haha. Cos A: Why is Thorpe always so slow to release all the information on Fright Nights, especially so in recent years, with rushed VIP extras, etc. As someone who tries to fit in as much as possible in the way of scream parks & scare attractions during spooky season, TP make planning it all extra difficult compared to other places, who have all their packages up nice and early. I have been asking support for weeks when the hotel/short break packages will be sorted, and they keep telling me they don't know, to check back in a few days o.O Cos they've been selling short breaks with FN included for a while now, but with no free maze entry on the 2nd day like they've had in previous years, so the main thing I wanted to know was if that will be added at all, or if it's gone for 2026. Support just kept saying "short breaks packages for Fright Nights have not yet been finalised, keep checking back" ...then don't sell short breaks including FN then? Because people who book early will be screwed over when potentially better packages are launched! I almost booked one of the dates, just to make sure we had SOMETHING booked in, and to help organise the calendar better for October, when I did one last check of the TP website and saw the addition of Short Break RIP Stays "coming soon" that DO include the mazes + more. Now I'm stuck waiting again, because it doesn't tell you dates/availability, full t&cs of that package. I'm so sick of the "coming soon". I just want some solid info so I can have everything planned T_T Never have this issue planning a trip to any other scare event in the UK! And B: What is the point of even being subscribed to a newsletter anymore, when they're sent infrequently, and everything is just revealed on social media? I don't care for teasers or social media hype, I just want solid information T_T
