Cal Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 They pretty much take The Asylum down on the inside every year... most likely outcome is that it returns in basically the same/very similar format but with a different name. Why do they take down the inside every year and how do you know this? I would of thought that the Asylum is going this year with what happened last year anyway...

paige Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I believe that the Asylum building also acts as some form of conference room for school groups etc. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 From what I'm aware, some years the route did stay up (around 2006ish if I remember correctly; there's some photos lying around on the internet somewhere when a scare-maze related website went in there during the summer one time I believe; though I can't seem to remember the site...). The room was used during National Science Week for talks and stuff I think. As Dan said, 'The Asylum' under that name is unlikely to return, but instead a very similar maze, with a very similar route, except with an IP attached what with the Lionsgate thing.

StevenVig Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 R.I.P The Asylum (2005-2013)... ...and I never got to do it! Actually its 2002 - 2013, as it first opened as The Freezer, which was always much better imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Actually its 2002 - 2013, as it first opened as The Freezer, which was always much better imo Though very similar, Freezer and Asylum were different. Different enough, I'd say, to say Asylum ran 2005-2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1hrisin Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I swear they've painted over the bloody hospital walls in back? They can't do that every year without it looking like the inside of a Jawbreaker underneath that paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I imagine they have installed black wall panels to cover up the theming, seems the most logical thing to do if said maze is to return (heres hoping!)

Benin Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 The maze is blatently going to return, it is after all their most popular one regardless of the so-called connotations surrounding it... It'll just get tied into a crappy IP this year... Panic ye not... Kerfuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 There will be a different live act on each day over the Easter Weekend. Up and coming artists: Prizma, VOIS, Littlejack and Manni. (Thorpe's post about it: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152334802060867&set=a.377923300866.202576.27217550866&type=1&theater ) Phill Pritchard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 This is by far the best Easter event they've done that I can remember! The Angry Bird Easter egg hunt was great fun and we were really surprised by the positioning of one of the birds (but it was great to see them using this area). The egg you win is also very nice! An Aero Bubbles egg with Aero Bubbles inside. Yummy! (They also gave you a blue pen which has a Thorpe Park logo on it so that's a nice piece of free merchandise ) Braniac Live was brilliant! Truly excellent show that was fun and enjoyable, something that has been missing from Thorpe for a long time. Much better than those stunt shows they usually bring in. Great use of The Asylum building too! I hope they use it over the summer for something and maybe even a Fright Nights show. The Asylum is gone, get over it. Brilliant event and definitely the way Thorpe's events should be going! J.S217, Marc and Cal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 ^ Completely agree with the above, went with family today and we all loved the easter egg hunt. The Brainiac show was great fun too, I'd happily go see it again and it was a nice change from the stunt shows they usually do. Afraid to say I didn't get to see the live act in the dome, although I'm sure I didn't miss much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 The Asylum is gone, get over it. Noooo! Seriously though, I'll be watching the show tomorrow. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
