JoshC. Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 The Big Top had been confirmed as a scare maze in its own right; the mirror maze is definitely part of the maze! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshuaA Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Don't see all the fuss about a mirror maze. if they do it right, with some strobes and no effort. it can be quite disorienting. 400400 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Oh fab - I'm definitely going to be face-planting quite a few mirrors Those things seriously disorientate me plus I am clumsy and have slight problem with spatial awareness #dammit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Is it possible that the mirror maze is the second attraction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrightNights04 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Fright Nights construction updates (yes I know the big top is going on the beech, I made this before that was announced): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 ^^ so, basically, nothing has happened . 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.

JoshC. Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Is it possible that the mirror maze is the second attraction... If the mirror maze was a separate attraction, they would have mentioned it. The second experience won't be a maze of any sort; it'll likely be a new overnight experience or a scare zone.

JoshuaA Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Or a new show maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Anything but an overnight experience.... *groans*. It's just an excuse for a money grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paige Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Well I should imagine that the theme for last year's overnight experiences shall no longer be as relevant, so it would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 It would, but it's not needed! I'm sure most people would rather it was A) a maze, an attraction/show that's open during normal fright night hours, or C) just spend the money on parkwide actors and theming!

lewumbrajumbos Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! spoon and Altitude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 also, I'm positive mixing scare actors and a mirror maze is going to result in at least a few injuries. fun times.. Chessie did it in Hocus Pocus Hall many times before... pognoi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paige Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Do you think they'd be like the actors in HPH though, or would they be a little bit more in your face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWOAfanMalcolm Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 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 They'll update it eventually I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 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. 400400 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I hope we will get new audio/announcements now that the director has gone, some of the old fright nights music sound really good. I also hope my bloody valentines queue line audio will also get replaced, as listening to a 60 second loop for over an hour gets on your nerves. 400400 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
