adam_sparks1 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I hope it is the traditional Congo line hands on shoulder as I used to love it in all the old mazes before paramount. Glitch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 With Saw being re-released in America I with TP got a licence to show the film in the cinema after hours. I would pay for that as it doesn't look like the UK cinemas are re releasing =(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrightNights04 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Ive been told studio 13 will be conga line but will have elements none-conga line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I personally think Thorpe's non-conga line mazes have been pretty good, and don't see any reason why Studio 13 can't continue that good trend. Given the story behind the maze, I think there's good opportunities for the park to utilise a non-conga line experience as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammydodger Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think by the description of it, it sounds to me like a non conga line maze, but I would much prefer it to be like asylum. A nice traditional hands on shoulders maze. As if not, saw will be the only one... FrightNights04 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altitude Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I like both, probably free roam more though, personally. As nobody can provide a valid source either way, I'll guess it's like Experiment 10 was, but without the splitting of the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 As someone who's terrified of these mazes... The free roam cabin in the woods was my favourite. I also found Saw to be really good last year which is conga line. I think it's good to vary the form of the mazes which thorpe seem to have done well Altitude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I've always thought that you lose that sense of fear when you go in a Conga line. It is possible have a one route maze without a conga line though (see Passage Del Terror) but then it probably decreases throughput so you can't win. For throughput reasons I would like to see Studio 13 remain a conga line maze. Asylum always had the highest throughput at FN (as Saw Alive always has stoppages) and I think Studio 13 needs to retain this as the throughput on My Bloody Valentine and Cabin in The Woods is dire.

OldFarmerDean Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Well no one knows exactly what it's going to be like... Just speculating as it could be different scenes as you are going through a movie set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 On another note, I have already noticed something from Asylum being reused in Studio 13 The bottom of the wall in the photo released by Thorpe themselves (the one with the window etc) is the old "brick" fence from the queueline. Studio 13 will have a lower throughput than asylum and has a theoretical throughput of 750pph. How do you know this? And do you know what the throughputs for My Bloody Valentine and Cabin are/were last year? kinnaird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyRed95 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 This is kinda off topic but when I booked my fright night tickets, the only option was collect at park instead of print at home. unless I'm missing something or the tickets just weren't available to print on that day for some reason, since fright night is a pre-book only event, surely that means thousands of people queuing to collect their tickets? Aren't there like, 4 windows from which that can be done? From my experience this takes ages as letters of consent, credit card details ect have to be checked and tickets have to be printed so this could take forever with all guest having to do it! Surely that can't be the case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 ^ That has happened to me this year. I think it's because me and my group have also booked a VIP event with it. Also, on a different note... If you make a statement and then say your source is "some guy I know" or "my mate who works there", don't get upset when people don't believe you.

Graw Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Could someone explain to me how exactly you get split up in CITW & MBV? I didn't go FN last year so I don't know, and seeing as this never happened in the mazes before the overhaul, I'm kind of worried about being split up/put on my own. I'm aware that there's 2 routes (tunnel/the other way I think ???) on MBV, but do you get split up and then made to walk through the rest of the maze alone, or are you split up with more than one person? And same for Cabin, where abouts are you split up and are you on your own when you're split up, or with other people? And do you regroup with the rest of your group after? And does this happen every time, or is it inconsistent (from experience?) I understand that people who haven't done the mazes before don't want it spoiled for them, so if you're not comforable with answering in the topic, feel free to private message me! I'd really appreciate this information, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 ^ Okay MINOR SPOILERS... I didn't get split up in MBV, but if it's like Experiment 10, you regroup half way through. In Cabin in the Woods, you won't be split up if you grab onto a friend and go into the same rooms together! Remember some of the doors lock behind you! In Experiment 10, they pushed half the group to one side of a room and the other half to another. Then the two sides go off in the different directions. Nothing really scary! But like I said, in MBV I don't think we got split up. If we did it wasn't interesting enough for us to notice! Graw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really appreciate this information, thanks. I agree with Altitude above, last year there was a group of 6 of us on both CITW and MBV and on neither of them did we get split up. IMO both mazes was the weakest last year... Hopefully they can change my point of view this year. Graw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
