jmgpannal Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 It was £5 with a premium pass for summer nights last year so assume it will be this year. JamminGamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminGamer Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Strange.... why would they post one thing in one place and contradict themselves :/ Ahh well £5 is well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Doesn't it say at the base of both passes, "some events may be charged at individual attractions"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminGamer Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I haven't got mine yet so I couldn't tell you Picking it up later for a more usable date interval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Checked mine earlier it does state an entry fee may be applied (this is on the premium pass) JamminGamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THORPE PARK Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Just to confirm, the reference to Evening Events pricing should not have been on the Summer Nights page and has been removed. The Annual Pass rate applies to all Merlin and Thorpe Annual and Season passes - including Premium passes Matt 236, JamminGamer, pluk and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Not sure why Fright Nights is free for Premium Pass people but not Summer Nights... Is it because it's not as financially assured to be a success? Probably... JamminGamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam P Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 More than happy to spend £5 on Summer Nights, one of the best parking experiences last year (once we had battled for the tickets mind!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 So does this mean Thorpe have accidentally confirmed there'll be evening events, similar to the Comedy Nights and such, a la last season? I wonder if VIP AP holders get Summer Nights for free (you'd hope so!) JamminGamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon81uk Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 The terms for annual passes do state 12. An Annual Pass is subject to additional charges for entry into: 12.1 any concerts taking place at the Attractions; 12.2 any themed and/or special events taking place at the Attractions; 12.3 secondary attractions at Chessington Resort; 12.4 all Christmas event openings; 12.5 secondary attractions at Alton Towers Resort Theme Parks including, but not limited to, the Alton Towers Waterpark, Extraordinary Golf, Alton Towers Spa and Scarefest mazes; 12.6 secondary attractions at THORPE PARK including but not limited to Fright Night scare mazes; and 12.7 any other event as determined by The Merlin Entertainments Group from time to time. see http://www.merlinannualpass.co.uk/terms.aspx I assume Summer Nights counts as a special event and therefore isn't included on any pass (the restrictions of the standard pass are set out separately in term 13). But £5 for an evening with shorter queues than usual isn't a bad deal and if you have a standard pass then its cheaper than parking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmgpannal Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Its a separately ticketed event that officially starts after the park closes hence the extra fee. Fright Nights is an extension to the day hence no charge for Premium Pass holders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamminGamer Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 On the subject of 2014, does anyone know if Loggers is getting a new tunnel? Maybe, doubt it's the thing they'd shout about right now though. Once we have the before opening day preview things we might find out what's been spruced up/changed/added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have to be a big budget job, a warehouse building (kept pitch black) with a wooden frontage would do fine.

FrightNights04 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 And maybe they could get rid of them green lights so its actually dark in there! Worthy9992 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worthy9992 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Green lights are the emergency lights and they have to be green for health safety reason as just in case of a emergency the lights will come on after all I don't wanna try an evac in the pitch black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 You can have emergency lighting which doesn't have a constant green light shining. They just chose to have that system without much thought process. Tbf, it's not like it makes a huge difference to the experience now does it?

Worthy9992 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 It makes the engerneers job more quicker in the morning to see the green light so he knows it's working properly then taking a key and manually turning them all on one by one every morning as the ride can not open if they don't work and I'm also sure they have the green lights in all there building can you imagine how long a ride like X will take if he has to go round manually turning them on every morning it never open by 9:30 or 10:00 And no it makes not a massive diffrent a it still very dark in the tunnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Excuses excuses excuses. It'd take a whole couple of minutes to test them. It'd be open on time regardless of if they had to check them or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not very emergency is it if it's on all the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
