October 15, 201410 yr comment_194895 Now this is a hilarious publicity stunt, especially considering that Studio 13 is one of the tamest mazes there is: http://www.independent.ie/world-news/and-finally/panic-room-for-fright-nights-guests-30666460.html
October 15, 201410 yr comment_194896 The resort's new horror movie maze Studio 13 features scenes across 11 blood-splattered rooms. Clearly whoever did this article obviously hasn't been in Studio 13 because: 1. As Coaster Jamie correctly said, it's not THAT intense 2. It does NOT have 11 rooms! (meaning they must've got S13 confused with CITW) 3. Since when was there any 'blood splattered' on those dire black walls?
October 15, 201410 yr Author comment_194898 Ahh, it's been a while since there was a made up story about a new attraction at a Merlin theme park for publicity. Kinda missed them.
October 15, 201410 yr comment_194909 Has there been any sort of nod to You're Next at all in park? Asides from signage.
October 15, 201410 yr comment_194911 Has there been any sort of nod to You're Next at all in park? Asides from signage. None it's mostly Grants Characters
October 15, 201410 yr Author comment_194913 Has there been any sort of nod to You're Next at all in park? Asides from signage. Not even appearing in signage any more (unless there's one I missed!); the You're Next character was cropped out of the main promo image and the logo no longer appears on posters either. Can only assume it was the plan for a long time that they wouldn't return this year!
October 15, 201410 yr comment_194915 Having a room full of rabbits would actually make me visit the park...
October 16, 201410 yr comment_194989 Does anybody know from experience, or just knowledge, what day in the half term will be the least busy? or after that until the end of fright nights, not inculding the 1st+2nd of November??I originally planned to go the weekend just gone, then that got cancelled, so I planned this weekend coming up, but that's also been cancelled so now ive got myself into a situation where I sort of have to go after the 26th.. so any help would be appreciated, thanks!
October 16, 201410 yr comment_195003 I am doing this Sunday and 24th (a Friday). I expect it to start getting busy expect 60+ min queues especially more if you go a weekend.
October 16, 201410 yr comment_195004 Does anyone else think it's a bit odd that you don't actually meet the director in Studio 13?
October 16, 201410 yr comment_195005 The sooner in half term the better I'd say as Halloween itself is the Friday. Tuesday would be my guess as the best day to go out of them all in half term. Maybe Wednesday.
October 16, 201410 yr comment_195016 Just want to throw it out there, Studio 13 probably has 11 'rooms' without you realising, if you consider the corridor (1), reception (2), make-up (3) *forgotten everything in between* Motel (4), end corridor (5). Also the end corridor is definitely blood splattered And also I think it's down to personal opinion. Like I said earlier (admittedly never having been in Asylum) I didn't understand the fuss over Cabin as, whilst I wasn't leading my group, we had no real interaction from actors and that we did just didn't do anything for me. Whereas Studio seemed very heavy in comparison, and to be frank I didn't know a thing about the ending so I pushed kids out the way and was the first out the door
October 17, 201410 yr comment_195026 Does anybody know from experience, or just knowledge, what day in the half term will be the least busy? or after that until the end of fright nights, not inculding the 1st+2nd of November?? I originally planned to go the weekend just gone, then that got cancelled, so I planned this weekend coming up, but that's also been cancelled so now ive got myself into a situation where I sort of have to go after the 26th.. so any help would be appreciated, thanks! Past 2 years I've been on Nov 1st and 2nd and it has never been too bad, but bear in mind that at the time I think they were Fridays- now they are a weekend! Halloween would obviously be the worst day and perhaps the day before. Thorpe have once said on twitter that- in general- Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be the quietest in the week. Though that wasn't specific to fright nights I don't see why it wouldn't apply!'
October 17, 201410 yr comment_195027 Just passed round the Arena, there seems to be a cover over some of MBV's containers. Will take a picture later. Apart from that, Samurai is dead, no train on Flying Fish, and most rides on 5 min queues, apart from Stealth and Swarm, at 45 and 35 minutes.

Apart from that, Samurai is dead, no train on Flying Fish, and most rides on 5 min queues, apart from Stealth and Swarm, at 45 and 35 minutes. I assume RnR is trialling today??? Let us know how it all pans out on the mazes tonight, still debating bothering to go tomorrow if RnR really ruins it :/
October 17, 201410 yr comment_195041 Just passed round the Arena, there seems to be a cover over some of MBV's containers. Will take a picture later. Possibly a quick fix for the leaks which occurred last weekend?
October 17, 201410 yr comment_195044 RnR seems to be ok at the moment, however that is down to not many people on park and it has only just started. Currntly longest RnR queue is 8 minutes. You may be alright with RnR as no one uses it at first so you will be able to get on a lot in the first hour. Update: 2 mazes are completely full while the other 2 are at 1:30hr. Not looking too good.
October 17, 201410 yr comment_195047 It's not that bad. You have to remember most people don't know what it is or don't know how to use the system in the first place. Just looking now everything is under 90mins on RNR with studio 13 and saw under 10mins. I reckon it's actually a positive thing this weekend if used as most people won't have a clue what's going on meaning a higher rides count. 90mins for a maze anyway is actually pretty low.
October 17, 201410 yr Author comment_195048 Glitch with system. Things will be more reasonable quickly.
October 17, 201410 yr comment_195049 RnR is going horribly... Glitching like mad saying it's full for the day then resetting to let me on now with RnR physical queues being like half hour long which is annoying, but yeah at least I am not in the main queue which is about 90-120mins on all the mazes!!
October 17, 201410 yr comment_195050 Studio 13 and saw are under 10mins because they just reopened. They were closed a few minutes ago which lead to a massive increase in the other 2 times. Remember the park is relatively empty compared to what it will be tomorrow. 90 minute wait isn't good for a small number of the people actually on the park.
October 17, 201410 yr comment_195051 As it's running today... I feel so sorry for people going the weekend with it, it just is an utter failure in my eyes - and they've tried enough, I think they should just give up, plus the idea to rule it out across the park on the main rides just isn't going to work as there is not enough to do, I love thorpe park, but this is seriously ruining the experience for me.
October 17, 201410 yr comment_195052 The site is saying everything is an hour and a half or unavailable???
October 17, 201410 yr comment_195053 Let them know that. They are in this illusion that everyone thinks it is perfect when the reality is far from it. It will never work no matter what they try. They need to let the idea die. Yeah it keeps glitching, so things are becoming unavailable then no queue, its alternating between the two.
