Nice photos! Is that already a spoiler though? As in, you can escape through a fireplace. It's good to see a new tent too! Go to thorpes Facebook for annual pass link...

Do you reckon they'll be an age limit for containment???

I can't keep my excitement Contained .

Can't wait for Fright Nights this year- just three and a bit weeks until I visit! Never done a Scaremaze before, any tips?

Dont stop or look to scared. Apart from that good luck

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.

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.

Big Top has been confirmed as a free attraction.

Their response is probably worded like that since Containment is a paid-for extra.

Just came across this on Instagram

Great spot, looking very good!

Blimey, that's tall!

This should silence those who are worried that it will just reuse CoS sets too!

Looks good!

 

Annual Pass Preview Tickets are now available;

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/fright-nights-merlin-annual-passholder-preview-event-tickets-18435774899

 

Just a heads up, it says that Containment will not be available on the night (however passholders can experience it at a discounted price on another day), The Big Top will not be available until 8pm, and the only rides open will be The Swarm, Stealth, Colossus, Nemesis Inferno and Saw: The Ride.

I'm thrilled that Entertainments have been given the opportunity to pump some money into their attractions this year, theming is looking good so far!

Just ripping it off instead

 

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.

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. 

Looks great ,Hopefully it will be way better than sparsely themed corridors the maze (Studio 13).

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.

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.

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.  

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?

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.

It's looking good! Why 8pm before Big Top?
