September 15, 201411 yr comment_191937 When is the best day to go on Fright Nights? Friday? Saturday? Sunday? Thanks jake
September 15, 201411 yr comment_191940 A Friday, not half term... So Friday 10th and Friday 17th I'm presuming would be the quietest, I've also heard the first 2 Sundays and the last Sunday can also be quieter as a late finish isn't always appreciated getting up early the next morning for work... My advice, avoid half term at all costs!
September 15, 201411 yr comment_191944 I think I'm going on the Tuesday of half term, it's the only day of the month that all of my friends are free Work commitments are so annoying </3

My advice, avoid half term at all costs! that is very true, also the first saturday isnt TOO bad either!
September 15, 201411 yr comment_191958 Tuesday in half term won't be awful. It's probably the better day in half term to go.
September 15, 201411 yr comment_191964 Tuesday in half term won't be awful. It's probably the better day in half term to go. how do you know this ? just out of curiosity
September 15, 201411 yr comment_191971 I'm actually really looking forward to this! Will be my first ever fright nights and it seems like it's going to be great.
September 15, 201411 yr comment_191972 Midweek is always better to go as less people take time off work. Also, the Monday and Tuesday pre book price is cheaper than Wednesday to Friday in half term showing that they predict less guests on those days. Of course it is all weather dependant but if you are unfortunate and have to go over half term (as Altitude is, not everyone can coincide with quieter days) it will be one of the better days to go to. On another note, last Sunday is amazing! We went on the 3rd of November last year and it was brilliant! The first Saturday is probably only going to be slightly busier than a standard Saturday. Probably.

September 15, 201411 yr Author comment_191982 https://www.thorpepark.com/events-experiences/frightnights/ - Page updated confirming MBV is staying in the arena this season. Don't think it's been mentioned yet either, but BWP is being advertised as a 'Walkthrough' now, as opposed to a Scare Zone - fairer reflection on the attraction to be honest!
September 15, 201411 yr comment_191998 how have you not been before? Due to me living so far away from Thorpe, Until August just gone I didn't realise how easy getting 3 trains down to Thorpe really is, so now I will be going to Thorpe more often!
September 15, 201411 yr comment_191999 Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but the "Director's Cut" maze fastrack is now available to buy - £25. This is for all 5 mazes, so a fiver each. It's the same price as an actual entry ticket, if bought in advance! Easily the most expensive FN fastrack to date; last year was £18.50 for 4 mazes (as Blair Witch wasn't included). What are the chances of the price rise putting large numbers of people off buying it? I suspect low...
September 15, 201411 yr comment_192000 Well seeing as I have seen so many people on facebook asking when ultimate fright nights fastrack and the mazes fastrack come on sale, I doubt it will make much difference. Thorpe just saw it as an easy oppertunity to make plenty more money for themselves...
September 15, 201411 yr Author comment_192001 Since you get one free Director's Cut ticket if you buy the Horror Pass, I expect the price rise is also done to make that seem better value too. Good idea making it more expensive, but I doubt it will discourage too many people from buying it really!
September 15, 201411 yr comment_192005 It's good that it is more expensive, as hopefully they will sell less. Yeah, right!
September 15, 201411 yr comment_192010 It's good that it is more expensive, as hopefully they will sell less. Yeah, right! no chance when people see a 2 hour queue they tend to pay out to the money grabber employees at the front of queue thus making the queue longer.
September 15, 201411 yr comment_192017 With Studio 13, something tells me that rather than the traditional walkthrough maze, it'll be somewhat like Chessington's mazes with different sections where the entire group stops, and the actors do whatever is scripted. If so, then like Altitude with the potential outdoor section, I'd also cream my pants!
September 15, 201411 yr comment_192022 Due to me living so far away from Thorpe, Until August just gone I didn't realise how easy getting 3 trains down to Thorpe really is, so now I will be going to Thorpe more often! This is my 3rd year of doing this, a train to Euston, take the tube to Vauxhall and then get a train to Staines, and trust me, if your friends are any good waking up at 5 in the morning and getting 3 trains can be hilarious
September 16, 201411 yr comment_192030 Don't forget, Thorpe will probably still sell the one shot Fastrack for each individual maze... That's what really kills the queues...
September 16, 201411 yr comment_192039 Thorpes Fastrack systems are utter cack. They're planning on using Reserve'n'Ride for the mazes this year BTW. They haven't announced it yet, but they fully intend on doing so. Screw you all in the main queue!!!!!
September 16, 201411 yr comment_192043 They're planning on using Reserve'n'Ride for the mazes this year BTW. They haven't announced it yet, but they fully intend on doing so. Are you actually having a laugh?
September 16, 201411 yr comment_192045 If they do end up running Reserve and Ride, wonder what days they'll do it on... Given that half term exists and a lot of enthusiasts in large groups will be visiting over the course of Fright Nights... I'll sit back and eat my popcorn should it be the case...
September 16, 201411 yr comment_192062 Does CITW still have the old spinning tunnel from Hellgate? I'm sure it does but can't remember.
