Kerfuffle Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Fair point - ABL was a last-minute investment, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 How was it a last minute investment? It was probably first planned art least a year ago, which I wouldn't call last minute for a small investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 If they put a 4D Saw film in that cinema I can just see you being totally drenched in 'blood' at every opportunity FrightNights04 and Kerfuffle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 ...and it'll also be in a family-friendly area! How will THAT work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 If they put a 4D Saw film in that cinema I can just see you being totally drenched in 'blood' at every opportunity Showing scenes from Saw 3D / Saw VII would also give a brilliant opportunity to utilise the seats during the car trap too!

Jordanluke2009 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 No saw is crap and we have learnt from saw the ride. Angry birds should be kept as the safe zone. Kerfuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 ...but with a 'spooky' sort of theme for the kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 No saw is crap and we have learnt from saw the ride. Angry birds should be kept as the safe zone. I'm sorry, isn't saw one of the most successful horror brands to date? And SAW: The Ride was possibly one of the most successful addition to the park since Colossus back in 2002.

Jordanluke2009 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Saw is a boring film series. That's why my mates like swarm and not saw. The ride is ok but not so cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Saw is one of the better received rides on park apparently and the film series is certainly iconic. Sure, it's not everyone's cop of tea, and the response is mixed from enthusiasts, but it's definitely been a great investment for the park!

Whatever Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Surely they might have a family maze this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 The park's website says that Fright Nights (or at least FN attractions) is only suitable for over 13s, so it seems unlikely. I was interested to see if they would do that, but there's nothing wrong with having a more adult event for a family park, especially for only a couple of weeks.

Tom Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 ^ It's more of a guideline than actual rule but it was probably 'Over 12s' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.man Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I don't think Thorpe would benefit from having a family maze or a 'safe zone.' They may have changed their target market as a whole but fright nights is so successful because people like being scared out of their wits. It would ruin the atmosphere if a family maze was added to the lineup especially only a year on from the Lionsgate partnership. Thorpe don't theme well anyway so theres not really any need for a safe zone. FrightNights04 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just wondering, didn't something outside The Asylum have 'You're Next' written on it last year (obviously to go with the roaming actors)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves me correctly, it was either a telephone box or a black sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 If it was a phone box, I just hope at some point last year they had one of the actors to stand right outside the box, inches away from the glass, while someone's inside!

McCleanyy Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Thorpe parks definitely getting something new this year, and exactly where the asylum was! But what could it be? '@LivvyGemStar: @THORPEPARK Hello will the Asylum maze be open this year for fright nights 2014 ?' '@THORPEPARK: @LivvyGemStar We will have a brand new experience in replacement but in the same location. It is going to be a unique experience!' Thoughts?

JoshC. Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Given that the past three Fright Nights have given new mazes with rather special / different twists (isolation rooms, bags on head, multiple routes in small groups), I'd expect something with an equally interesting twist. I don't think it had been confirmed it would be in Asylum's spot yet, so nice to have that officially confirmed. Really do look forward to what Thorpe give us!

McCleanyy Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I am really looking forward to fright nights this year, let's hope this experience really is unique! Not long to go now before it all kicks off, so let's hope we get some details soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Depends if they've realised that the term 'unique' doesn't mean 'take an idea already used by a smaller independent scare event' don't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrightNights04 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 or from an event in america Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
