Kerfuffle Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Judging by the parkwide theming, I'm guessing Thorpe are starting to make an attempt at being like Towers by combining mature scares for older guests with spooky fun for younger guests?

James39 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Scarecrow has a huge rat next to him Although good, the theming is still only around calypso bbq. A lot more is needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Okay now this looks seriously good! Really impressed that they have put effort into some parkwide theming this year, and it looks fantastic! Roll on tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James39 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Saw a couple of groups with wheeled cases dressed in black with Thorpe park badges heading towards mazes late this afternoon. I reckon they were the actors for the staff event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewumbrajumbos Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Just had an "educational" (advertise all the events and rides at the park) talk which turned out to be much more interesting than I first thought! Containment spoilers below he went on basically explaining the concept of containment and explaining what we already know about the idea of playing with your fears and having to escape. But those might remember in advertising the statement "failing to escape might make your fright night experience worse than ever" or some thing along those lines I can't remember what it actually said but yolo swag doot that will do. The guy taking our talk revealed that if your group fails to escape in the given time you will be marked with UV paint and for the remainder of the evening the roaming actors will specifically target and terrorise those with said markings upon them. Exciting concept! Reminds me of the neat passing trick with the certificates but this sound a hell of a lot more cool! Staff preview is tonight! Big Top tents are still not connected in anyway and still all looks a bit shabby and all over the place on the outside but I'm sure it will be a quality attraction. Could see smoke and effects being tested with smoke piling out out of entrances and exits. Think that's all I really have to report I only have a few pictures to put up when I'm home James39 has covered most!
