J.S217 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yeah, Jessabelle's released has been continuously put back - with it currently having a limited release in November 7th but no uk release yet sadly looks pretty good tbh.

c1hrisin Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Dead end was a crappy walkthrough that used all of thorpes "memorable" junk to create a creepy area (although it was advertised as a scare zone) which was a massive flop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Looks like a new maze is definitely on the cards: http://www.prweek.com/article/1307467/thorpe-park-hires-prettygreen-fright-night-sessions (Loving that MBV photo as well ) Here's the company Thorpe are working with - http://www.itsprettygreen.com/ . They seem pretty good; looking forward to seeing how they go about with the PR! FrightNightFan, pluk and BenC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 This is brilliant news. I am really looking forward to the event this year. I found the mazes last year amazing especially as it was my first ever time at fright night. However, I hope thorpe focus on a couple of things. All the mazes last year were brilliant(except Blair witch which I hope they can improve for this year!) and I hope they keep this high standard inside the mazes. However, I would like to see a few more roaming actors about as there were only ever a couple out and about. Also it would be nice to see more theming around the park and in maze queuelines. The maze queue lines were simply cattle pens and it would be nice if there could be some sorts of Halloween decorations or themeing inside them to make them look more exciting. I am also hoping that Blair witch has an increased throughput and proper queueline this year as last year it was a mess with the queue backing all the way down to samurai blocking up the pathway! I am really looking forward to the event this year and am excited to see what thorpe have in store for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchada04 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Blair Witch did eventually have a nice queue line like all the mazes (metal fences). There was also some work going on in Saw Alive today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Reading between the lines, there's a problem to come to terms with...what's gonna happen with Angry Birds Land during Fright Nights? FrightNightFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerfuffle Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Not during a horror movie takeover! Shouldn't think it would work within that audience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I suppose, but I doubt they'd do anything. Probably just change the music as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Universal dont change their kids area during their event... Granted its not in the middle of the park but even so... Thorpe wont change anything, at most will just tell any roaming actors not to go in there... Though from what I saw last year kids don't give two damns about scare actors...

Morgan Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Universal generally use Kidzone as the entrance to two maze locations, so generally there is a Halloween presence in the area, in fact I believe one of the mazes uses the Barney show queueline for it's own queue. I personally can't see there being any difference than previous years with Angry Birds Land, in recent years there hasn't been anything changed in that area other than the audio played.

JoshC. Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 ^Would actually love to hear that played in the area during Fright Nights! They probably won't change anything. If they go for park-wide theming, I guess we could see some small bits adding to the area. Given that Fright Nights is aimed towards the older audience, there's no need to do anything to ABL really, as the majority of people going for Fright Nights will be less interested in it. Roaming actors will probably be told to not focus on younger children I expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrightNights04 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 forgot to mension, at the big easter event, me and a friend were talking to staff about fright nights outside braniac:live. A couple of them who were involved in FN said there would be an archieves of all the mazes that have shut e.g. experiment 10, hellgate, freeser... It is not a maze but will be included. she said they hadnt confirmed where this would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 They might change Angry Birds Land's music as they changed the music on the carousel last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 They might change Angry Birds Land's music as they changed the music on the carousel last year. LOL carousel music. How I remember being stood outside The Asylum with that playing in the background every 2 minutes! "This is Halloween! This is Halloween! HALLOWEEN! HALLOWEEN! (Halloween! Halloween!)" Well that's ONE way to please the Tim Burton fans! FrightNights04 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I didn't like the music used across most of the park last year. Was too generic and all rides had the same annoying announcements "prepare to deliver an Oscar winning performance, lights, camera, action!" and "you've survived this appearance on set" So annoying and too much focus on "film" rather than "horror" in my opinion! Much preferred the midnight syndicate music where every ride had a different track. OldFarmerDean and FrightNights04 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkadder312 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I did quite like the new Announcements but still need to play the older music I love Samurai Loading Fright Night Theme and Detonators old Humpty Dumpty.

adam_sparks1 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 A quick question. Last 3 years me and my mates have come up to fright nights by car. This year we are going to have to come up by train to Staines station. The shuttle bus that runs to and from the station, will that still be running back to Staines train. station after 10 close??? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 ^ I think it does because there's always a queue half an hour after the park closes at Fright Night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I think that, when the park closes at 10pm, the shuttle bus riibs till 11pm, so you should be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
