Graw Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 planning to go here on Sunday. how essential is fastrack? and is there a bus to and from the farm to the nearest station? going from London on the train. cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cian Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 It's unlikely that you'll need to fasttrack anything if you're willing to wait up to 30 minutes (usually less as Tulleys throughout is fantastic, the max I queued was about 15) excluding the hayride, which tends to gain larger queues as the night goes on. I'd advise either getting on it first thing or fasttracking it in the evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 There is a bus from three bridges station to the park £3 each way limited buses each way though so check bus times on the tullys website before you visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Just came back from tonight. Overall there was some heavy changes from preview night, most actually being positive! The Cellar Had a odd run-through, didn't go in a conga line. But actors still got some strong scares, and the theming is stunning-7/10 Hellements Hellements is probably the weakest maze of the event. I had a lucky run through on preview night so I kinda was too light on how bad it is.. It still has some redeeming features like the fire, but most of it is a tad dull-3/10 Haunted House As good as always, the theming is fab throughout, and with a few actors, its a nice little gem-6/10 Haunted Hayride As fun as always, the attraction is a random jumbled mess, but its a amazing jumbled mess. The attraction is full of brilliant theming, brilliant actors, and a great mix of fun and fear-7/10 Pandemonium Pandemonium was one of the best experiences in a maze I've ever had. Due to me actually knowing some of the actors, I was constantly stalked throughout the maze. The mazes seems to have quite a few more actors than preview night, and OH god where they entertaining. One clown in particular followed/stalked me throughout the maze, this clown followed me for 10 minutes! They had our group in stitches too, they even called a bald guy in our group "Mr Potato Head" The maze was more fun than scary, but there was still some good startle scares. Pandemonium is by far the most entertaining maze I've done this Halloween-9/10 Coven Of 13 I was initially quite harsh on Coven, maybe a little too harsh. The concept and idea for most of it is quite original, and the problem on preview night was mainly down to execution. The swamp scene is cool, and the finale is something very different. Some scenes have had some changes, and overall the maze felt more effective. I think Coven still needs some work, but with some tweaks it could be a standout-7/10 Chop Shop Chainsaws.. Donald Trump.. Chainsaws.. AHHHHH-8/10 The Colony The Colony had some tweaks done to it. The claustrophobia tunnel was so long our group where left desperate to get out! The maze still had some of the great scares it had on preview night, the loud car-horn, the beehive scene, ect. Though the chainsaw? It does not make sense at all, though the rest of the maze is brilliant-8.5/10 Cian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Doyle Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Is it me or did the amount of chainsaws in Chop Shop dwindle this year?? Had a few goes through it when I went and I must of only of had 5 chainsaw encounters compared to over double that last year. Don't get me wrong, I still loved it and still found it to be one of the best mazes I've done this Halloween but it just seemed the ending wasn't as packed with chainsaws as last year. All other mazes I found to be really good (Cellar is simply a masterpiece!!) but I think Hellements needs to be moved on next year as I find it stale now (then again I'm not a huge fan on hood mazes). Overall I really enjoyed Tulleys this year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's decreased as the event has gone on for some reason? Martin Doyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshuaA Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Ooooh! I think this is the most days they've ever done. Its crazy how much the event has been growing recently, I can't wait to see what they do this year! Hellements needs to go though..Like Now.

RobF Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Tbh most of the 2016 event was better in 2015, although I did like the 1st half of coven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or some big changes and allowing actors to touch. I think touching in this would enhance it massively but yeah as it is it is stale as anything.

JoshuaA Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I sadly don't see them implementing touch scares, but I think at this point nothing can save Hellements.. Overall I think we'll see Coven, Cellar, Hayride, and Haunted House all return this year. The rest of the Haunts I'm not all that sure on, though I guess Chop Shop is a fan favourite so I doubt it'll get the.. Well. Chop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYNAW Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Allowing touching is never going to happen with Tulley's I don't think. But there are some good reasons for it however, that if you were to ever go to the auditions and training would be explained to you (I'm not allowed to say anything about the training particularly). All I'm going to say is think how many shut downs there are at thorpe mazes due to guest action and then think about how many shutdowns there are at Tulley's... pretty much none in an evening. As a Chop Shop chainsaw actor for 2016 I can confirm that with Chopshop it honestly depends on your run, due to the way the maze is laid out and if a slow group stops and blocks an actors exit or there needs to be a chainsaw refuel/swap-over you may miss an interaction with an actor. You were almost guaranteed at least 4 chainsaw encounters, but with any luck you would get a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben199 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think a bigger factor in the number of shutdowns is the parks clientele. Fright Nights is full of pikeys who like to hit people whereas Tulleys pulls a more laid back crowd who are more aware about this kind of event.Also Chop Shop scared the **** out of me last year so cheers dude!

JoshuaA Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 ScareTour have teased a little on some changes happening this year- and oh god, even if it is May, I'm hyped for Tulleys 2017! And longer mazes? I gotta say the majority of mazes at the event are already long as hell, so, just, wow Very interesting. (Sorry for bumping this topic like 5 months too early..)

If Colony gets an extension then I need to hit the gym before I go!! That maze is already an endurance as it is!! I predict Hellements will leave (its widespread regarded as stale now), Coven and Chop shop will get the extensions and Haunted hayride will get a makeover. I obviously could be hopelessly wrong about ALL of that but I see hellements going as being odds on. JoshuaA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshuaA Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I have no idea what happened though I guess the majority of the mazes at the park are long as hell anyway so I guess it would been stupid if they extended some of them (Chop Shop could do with a extra scene or two though) Anyway I guess last year was more of a low-key year for Tulleys anyway. I'm guessing this year will see more of a lineup shake around, like 2015 did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
