October 12, 20159 yr comment_220679 Also someone posted earlier that containment needed a room where the crew can watch was going on & just wanted to say the do, it's the first door of the container when your walking past flying fish towards swarm, the door was open last night so had a cheeky look in.

October 12, 20159 yr comment_220696 Anyone actually done containment and is it worth the money? Considering it for next visit...
October 12, 20159 yr comment_220698 Anyone actually done containment and is it worth the money? Considering it for next visit... In short, I thought it was worth doing for the one off to experience it, but me being someone who is scared of mazes didn't find it scary, although the pressure of time did make me panic a bit, and in general it was a decent attraction, I'd feel a bit ripped off if I didn't make it to the last room though, as in theory you could run out of time in the first room after 5 minutes and then that's your experience over.
October 12, 20159 yr comment_220699 Such a great day on Sunday. Park opening seemed busy with a massive annual pass holder queue but everyone seemed to disappear and we were left with empty queuelines pretty much all day. Knew the travelling folk would be there, being the first Sunday of Fright Nights, but they didn't cause us any problems. Can be quite intimidating when they congregate in large numbers however.

See that's exactly what I was worried about :') knowing me I'd probably manage to run out of time :') I'm at a stage where I literally don't even flinch in mazes so if this is even less scary then I pretty much definately won't be scared. Still, may give it a go, thanks for the info
October 12, 20159 yr comment_220702 Yeah, could someone pm me how to get to the control room too? I would love to know how to do it!
October 12, 20159 yr comment_220704 Containment would be worth the money as a one off! Reminded me of that show Release the Hounds on ITV2 or Crystal Maze, great fun! Not too scary but yes very good in my opinion.
October 13, 20159 yr comment_220724 Unless it's changed since I went on it, you progress to the next room whether you fail or not in containment. Personally if you're after something new, I'd rather save the money and pay the extra fiver to do a face it alone instead. £10 is way to much for what they're offering.
October 13, 20159 yr comment_220734 could someone pm a detailed description of what exactly goes on in containment?? thanks
October 13, 20159 yr comment_220735 could someone pm a detailed description of what exactly goes on in containment?? thanks I will when I get home Containment was good but not scary. Just about worth the £8. Glad I experienced it but like said I wouldn't do it again, once you've done it once it would be pointless doing it again.
October 13, 20159 yr comment_220738 One of the worst things about yesterday was the sheer amount of smokers/vapers in queue lines. It's disgusting. Late response but what's wrong with people vaping in a queue?
October 13, 20159 yr comment_220739 Some people don't want smoke in their face probably, and I wouldn't want it all in my face either
October 13, 20159 yr comment_220741 but it's not smoke, it's water vapor and would pretty much have no effect on bystanders in an outdoor situation? (sorry I've gone off topic) just a thought

October 13, 20159 yr comment_220753 Can we please not argue about vaping . Personally, I think it's harmless, but also sends the wrong message to kids standing in line that it's 'cool'
October 13, 20159 yr comment_220754 Mix your liquid up at 100% PG and you won't produce any 'smoke' at low voltage (up to 3.6v, or minimal smoke that most people won't even notice), I don't know if they still sell them but there used to be keyring size atomisers you can easily conceal in your hand. Sorry for going OT, but I don't see the fuss either, vaping in a queue line is no more dangerous to other people than breathing in their direction, but I can kind of understand why it causes issues, unless you're a vaper for an everyday layman it's virtually impossible to tell the difference between smoke and vapour, people see 'smoke' and automatically think someone's smoking, plus the fag industries propaganda campaign against vaping just makes things worse as there is so much wrong information out there, it's also impossible to tell anybody they are wrong, simple solution to save hassle is just don't vape or take a small unit that doesn't produce 'smoke'.
October 13, 20159 yr comment_220755 I still think the non-smoke cigarettes (or whatever they're called) in queues are wrong, it sends the wrong message to people (especially smokers who then think it's okay for them to smoke). As for people smoking real cigarettes in queues, it's just gross and very selfish, but sadly it seems to happen a lot at Thorpe.
October 13, 20159 yr comment_220756 Smoking in the queuelines can block key points of sight in cameras, and can annoy other guests and trigger thing such as asthma if other guests in the queue line have it which the park would be held responsible for. Also sometimes ops can't tell if it's a vape or a cigarette so the same rules apply. Furthermore cigarettes have proven to be quite dangerous in areas where the fences are made of wood, and in some places they can mess up sensors.
October 13, 20159 yr comment_220758 Believe it or not I do agree with you, I tend to respect 'smoking' rules at places and try not to vape, but sadly the small majority of fat shell suit wearing over makeup'd chavs who think they can vape wherever they want **** it up for the rest of us who know how to be discrete.
October 13, 20159 yr comment_220765 Right, let's call a halt on the vaping discussion..... anyone been on park today, anyone going before the weekend, or anyone going on the weekend?
