Altitude Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I love the asylum music, it creates so much tension and is so menacing. This! Such a good piece of music. If you listened to it without knowing it's for the attraction, you'd know it was Asylum themed? Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 It'll be A LOT better than what was playing last year! ("Perfect Day" wasn't it? Haven't the foggiest about the artist)Perfect Day was playing park wide but Asylum still had its fantastic theme music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.man Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Perfect day was good for FN though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 They really need to focus on queueline audio all round this year, as last year no maze apart from the Asylum had any sort of music playing in the queue, which is a shame as it creates a really tense and exciting atmosphere.

c1hrisin Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Yeah I'm sure with the link with lionsgate they are allowed to use the movie themes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 That would be too logical a solution for a Merlin park though... paige, c1hrisin and FrightNights04 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Sometimes film scores suck though. I would imagine that in some cases, a custom made track would build atmosphere much more. I know everyone disagrees with me, but I think that the 'Perfect Day' song that played everywhere last year ruined the atmosphere. If you haven't seen the film, it just feels so out of place. Music on previous Fright Nights has been so much better in my opinion. paige and Mattgwise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.man Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Its funny because Perfect Day is only in the trailer it didnt even make it to the proper film. FrightNights04 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 ^ And? Maybe I didn't bother watching the trailer because I've heard bad things about the film? You know what I meant. They played it near the Asylum's queue last year and it killed the mood. Other people in the queue seemed to agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I seemed to hear the Asylum soundtrack quite clearly last year! (save for the Carousel music playing directly nearby) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Perfect Day fit well with the You're Next idea (because irony woo), and given some basic knowledge of the film's premise, it would make sense. I do think there are better choices to play around the park though. I always wonder with IPs how much parks expect their guests to know about the franchises. A basic knowledge of the film's premise should be enough (so even if you haven't watched the film, you know the general idea), but then there's also opportunities to extend on the story / replicate ideas from the film (for those who have watched the film). I do think MBV (and maybe even Cabin) failed at this a bit. I knew the general idea MBV for example, but was left confused as to why I was going from mine to hospital to mine to random area to woods to random area. I bet Cabin could have confused others too, what with the random rooms which don't really create a story. Hopefully this can be improved upon, and the new maze also takes this into consideration.

th13teen Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Don't know whether its been mentioned. But they will be doing Behind the scenes tours of the Horror Mazes this year! Exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkadder312 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I love Asylum last year was the best since the opening of it also the music was way louder last year just a shame its now gone. I am sure this Fright Nights will be great regardless just hope they improve on the Blair Witch. Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olistjj Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I was also told by a director of one of the mazes that this year Blair witch is having massive changes done to it, she seemed very excited by the changes but wouldn't tell me what exactly, it is still outside however.

I think it would be interesting, but I go to Fright Nights to have fun and have a scare, not to trek around a museum (which will probably be in a shipping container)... The Asylum replacement will hopefully be fab. The building has a great layout for a decent attraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordanluke2009 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 At work one of the security guards used to be a scare actor at Thorpe park and he said that the maze that is replacing asylum is going to be so much better. I see it on the 7th of October I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordanluke2009 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I doubt Thorpe will release any information they are usually quite secretive until about a week before fright nights start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
