Dodge2002 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I don't know if this is something to be concerned about, but someone on their facebook page asked if they'll be charging for their mazes, and the response was... THORPE PARK Official Hi Hollie, further Fright Night maze information is soon to be released. We advise that guests under 13 do not go into the horror mazes however this is up to the individual themselves. I really hope the big top isn't an upcharge.

Never done a Scaremaze before, any tips? Don't withhold screams, the actors see that as a challenge. But don't scream too much either or they'll challenge themselves to see how many they can squeeze out of you. Morgan.B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope the big top isn't an upcharge. Big Top has been confirmed as a free attraction. Their response is probably worded like that since Containment is a paid-for extra.

Coaster Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 In reality it probably is the same set piece, just with heavy modifications. It's good that they haven't just reused it in the same state though, and it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry-go-girl Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 It's nice to see Thorpe putting a lot of effort into something, makes you confident there are still people working there with a passion for their work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Looks great ,Hopefully it will be way better than sparsely themed corridors the maze (Studio 13). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Just ripping it off instead ha, knew someone would mention it. To be honest, I'm expecting some similarities between the two mazes to a degree, and some will probably say the whole maze is a rip-off too I bet, but that's because CoS did the carnival / clown theme well, and the fact that it's quite a common theme. In reality it probably is the same set piece, just with heavy modifications. It's good that they haven't just reused it in the same state though, and it looks good. I do doubt it. They look different in terms of sizes (it's hard to be sure based on the photos of course) and it just doesn't seem to make sense to change something so much when they could get a new bit of theming for a similar cost. I genuinely think the CoS entrance feature is probably either destroyed or gathered dust in a warehouse. Looks great ,Hopefully it will be way better than sparsely themed corridors the maze (Studio 13). Interesting view. Whilst Studio 13 didn't have in-your-face, high quality theming from top to bottom, it did all fit in with the story of the maze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JammyBand Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Have to admit, I think it's looking fantastic. With the entrance being at the large white tent, do we think this will be the main maze area with the circular tent being an undercover queuing area, or do we think it's the other way around?

Coaster Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Interesting view. Whilst Studio 13 didn't have in-your-face, high quality theming from top to bottom, it did all fit in with the story of the maze. To be fair, if I hadn't already known the storyline for S13 upon entering the maze I don't think I would have understood it much. Apart from the pre-show, the only things explaining what each section was were signs that could easily be missed. The theming was great in places, but other places were just black walls and the maze lacked actual scares and atmosphere IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
