August 24, 201411 yr comment_189596 I love the asylum music, it creates so much tension and is so menacing. This! Such a good piece of music. If you listened to it without knowing it's for the attraction, you'd know it was Asylum themed?
August 24, 201411 yr comment_189599 It'll be A LOT better than what was playing last year! ("Perfect Day" wasn't it? Haven't the foggiest about the artist)Perfect Day was playing park wide but Asylum still had its fantastic theme music.
August 24, 201411 yr comment_189608 They really need to focus on queueline audio all round this year, as last year no maze apart from the Asylum had any sort of music playing in the queue, which is a shame as it creates a really tense and exciting atmosphere.
August 24, 201411 yr comment_189617 Yeah I'm sure with the link with lionsgate they are allowed to use the movie themes?
August 25, 201411 yr comment_189634 Sometimes film scores suck though. I would imagine that in some cases, a custom made track would build atmosphere much more. I know everyone disagrees with me, but I think that the 'Perfect Day' song that played everywhere last year ruined the atmosphere. If you haven't seen the film, it just feels so out of place. Music on previous Fright Nights has been so much better in my opinion.
August 25, 201411 yr comment_189643 Its funny because Perfect Day is only in the trailer it didnt even make it to the proper film.
August 25, 201411 yr comment_189673 ^ And? Maybe I didn't bother watching the trailer because I've heard bad things about the film? You know what I meant. They played it near the Asylum's queue last year and it killed the mood. Other people in the queue seemed to agree.
August 25, 201411 yr comment_189676 I seemed to hear the Asylum soundtrack quite clearly last year! (save for the Carousel music playing directly nearby)
August 25, 201411 yr Author comment_189681 Perfect Day fit well with the You're Next idea (because irony woo), and given some basic knowledge of the film's premise, it would make sense. I do think there are better choices to play around the park though. I always wonder with IPs how much parks expect their guests to know about the franchises. A basic knowledge of the film's premise should be enough (so even if you haven't watched the film, you know the general idea), but then there's also opportunities to extend on the story / replicate ideas from the film (for those who have watched the film). I do think MBV (and maybe even Cabin) failed at this a bit. I knew the general idea MBV for example, but was left confused as to why I was going from mine to hospital to mine to random area to woods to random area. I bet Cabin could have confused others too, what with the random rooms which don't really create a story. Hopefully this can be improved upon, and the new maze also takes this into consideration.
August 25, 201411 yr comment_189688 Don't know whether its been mentioned. But they will be doing Behind the scenes tours of the Horror Mazes this year! Exciting!
August 25, 201411 yr comment_189691 I love Asylum last year was the best since the opening of it also the music was way louder last year just a shame its now gone. I am sure this Fright Nights will be great regardless just hope they improve on the Blair Witch.
August 25, 201411 yr comment_189701 I was also told by a director of one of the mazes that this year Blair witch is having massive changes done to it, she seemed very excited by the changes but wouldn't tell me what exactly, it is still outside however.
August 25, 201411 yr comment_189712 Don't know whether its been mentioned. But they will be doing Behind the scenes tours of the Horror Mazes this year! Exciting! I think it would be interesting, but I go to Fright Nights to have fun and have a scare, not to trek around a museum (which will probably be in a shipping container)... The Asylum replacement will hopefully be fab. The building has a great layout for a decent attraction.
August 26, 201411 yr comment_189721 At work one of the security guards used to be a scare actor at Thorpe park and he said that the maze that is replacing asylum is going to be so much better. I see it on the 7th of October I think.

August 26, 201411 yr comment_189774 Someone said alton towers are revealing Scarefest infomation at the end of the week meaning thorpe park are probally going to do the same.
August 26, 201411 yr comment_189779 I doubt Thorpe will release any information they are usually quite secretive until about a week before fright nights start.
August 28, 201411 yr comment_189949 I hope Asylum's legacy carries on with its theme tune playing round the park
August 28, 201411 yr comment_189951 Will we see Saw shown in the 4d cinema to celebrate it's 10th anniversary
August 28, 201411 yr comment_189962 Too bad Thorpe and Rovio haven't done another film Halloween themed...
