^^ so, basically, nothing has happened :P. However, this confirms that all IPs are returning. Plus the big top. AND something else... Let's just hope that something is something everyone can use, and not some crappy overpriced overnighter like last year.

I don't know what the overnight experiances are even like? My friends always hear about them and think they sound coooool when I am old enough I would certainly consider trying one out .. the Alton Towers ones look good not heard much about Thorpes

 

There's reviews of the Blair Witch Overnight Experience on ScareTOUR.  Their first try on one of the first nights was pretty disastrous, but a follow up visit proved much better...

First try:  http://www.scaretouruk.com/review---blair-witch-overnight-experience---thorpe-park.html

Second try:  http://www.scaretouruk.com/review---return-to-blair-witch-overnight.html

 

 

Even if it is good, it's never going to be better than a free of charge fright nights attraction that will run every day for everyone...

 

Think about it from an even larger perspective.  The park are trying to market themselves as one of the scariest places to go to.  As their Fright Nights video says, they don't do clichés, or trick and treats, they do scare.  They want to attract the bravest of the brave, the people who really do enjoy their scare attractions (a market which is surprisingly large).  In ordinary conditions during the day, they can't offer the scariest of experiences for many reasons (time constraints, no age restrictions, etc).

 

By offering out-of-hours and overnight experiences, they can draw in the people wanting the extreme scares, without scaring away the people who don't want something that extreme.  So I think overnight experiences are something that Thorpe genuinely need to improve their event as a whole.  Of course, they shouldn't lose focus on the ordinary attractions that operate during the day, but they aren't really - 5 free mazes and continuous additions to that line up since 2010 shows their commitment!

I'm guessing this is a mistake but Fright nights Website says that My bloody valentine Will be in the arena Obviously the arena doesn't exist anymore so surely this is a misprint?

Yeah that'll be a mistake, like you said, there's no arena any more :P They'll update it eventually I'm sure.

Probably just haven't updated it. It took them a while to update the site in 2011 when they moved Se7en to the Beach from the Arena.

With noting that The Big Top is rated 5/5 for scares, along with MBV. Asylum and Studio 13 were both rated 4/5, along with Cabin and Saw. BWP remains 2/5.

The website also suggests that the overnight experience will have a story related to the Figaro brothers.

Everytime I go on the website to check for Fright Nights, it keeps saying 404 error... I can't see anything! Anyone else?

Try this link: https://www.thorpepark.com/fright-nights/fright-nights/ (found by Googling 'Thorpe Park Fright Nights')

If you go to the main TP website and click on Fright Nights, it takes you to https://www.thorpepark.com/island-beats/fright-nights/ , which is now an outdated link since Island Beats is now finished. :)
