October 25, 20159 yr comment_222028 SCB did Sub Species yesterday, and the 'touching' was extreme - he got yanked from room to room, dragged down a tunnel, pushed, as well as the normal stroking, poking etc we'd see at Thorpe. You get that at Thorpe
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222029 You get that at Thorpe Having done Thorpe's mazes for several years, I have NEVER seen anything on this scale and neither has SCB
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222031 Having done Thorpe's mazes for several years, I have NEVER seen anything on this scale and neither has SCBExplain what you mean by "on this scale"
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222038 I'll post a review tomorrow but Sub Species is in its own league. Nothing Thorpe has done can compare. It's not cheap, every room is fully themed, music, story. It's complete. It's not just cheap jump scares that Thorpe abuse, there is so much more.
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222039 BIG TOP was good, although the most inconsistent maze I've ever been in and average theming inside the tents. Cabin was great again although needs renovation as another year of it will be stale, and they need someone stood at the cabin entrance as it was too easy to loop back in and do the maze 6 times in a row. I thought MBV was really good, don't understand the negativity, and BWP is actually the best imo even if its the simplest. Fright Night has been so good this year, although yday was just ridiculously busy and too over capacity. I enjoyed Containment and it was worth £8, but only works once. I hope next year we see some original IPs, or if the Lionsgate rumors are false we see some new films coming in to replace these that will be stale by next year after 3 years of use. (the control room is absolutely useless)
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222045 (the control room is absolutely useless) Yh but its fun to look for
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222046 Yh but its fun to look for suppose so. Really, really easy to find though.
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222047 suppose so. Really, really easy to find though.When they moved it we spent ages looking the new door is hard to find unless you know it is there
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222049 Explain what you mean by "on this scale"After going on Sub species yestaday and today I have to say it is on its own scale compared to thorpes.It isn't just touching, I got shoved into a room with one other person and for the whole maze it was just us two! For the whole of it we were pushed, split up ect. Sub species: the end games is rightly in its own league compared to thorpes mazes.
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222050 That's why everytime we do Thorpes mazes we've been attacked with makeup attacked pinned in corne s attacked and what not. Mainly cabin but Big Top as well.
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222052 That's why everytime we do Thorpes mazes we've been attacked with makeup... This happened to you in a maze...?
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222053 Yup Cabin lot have been relentless this year last Friday they attacked us with makeup and whatever condiments they had. My friend got the same Friday just gone. The actors are very very intense in cabin this year.
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222057 wasn't aware the actors walked around IN character, holding their makeup....
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222060 Yup Cabin lot have been relentless this year last Friday they attacked us with makeup and whatever condiments they had. My friend got the same Friday just gone. The actors are very very intense in cabin this year. Are you talking about standard run throughs or Face it Alone?
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222061 Standard runthroughs. Brave it alone felt comparatively weak in cabin but is the best I've done out of the 2. Perks of knowing the actors they will make your experience amazing.
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222062 I would say "attacked" is a exaggeration. If a actor "attacked" someone I'm pretty sure that's called assault.
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222063 No in the scare industry attacked is being scared with different props getting attacked with the makeup adds to the experience.
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222064 No in the scare industry attacked is being scared with different props getting attacked with the makeup adds to the experience.Been to thorpe millions time to FN and that has never happend. And I'm familiar with the scare industry, but being attacked with condiments and facepaints sounds odd.Has anyone else been "attacked" with makeup, sounds more like FIA. Sounds very fun for people who have a allergic reaction to face paints...
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222065 Regarding the makeup, did they actually put it ON you? Because a high percentage of people are allergic to typical face paints (I've seen some hanging around in big top, they're just cheap ones) and I know this as I study SFX make-up! The only warning I've seen regarding makeup is on a sign outside MBV where they say the actors wear liquid latex and other special effects. I have heard of people getting fake blood in their hair but that was probably an accident! Can't see too many people being happy if they get a lovely rash from a maze...
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222066 Yeah but Amy you don't understand, Jordan Luke is best mates with all the actors he does what he wants.
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222067 Ryan most of the group last week came out covered in some form of makeup. They remember us from brave it alone that's why we keep getting an intense experience on a normal runthrough.
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222068 Even if true, it's a moot point considering that's not a standard run through. "Hey pals, JORDAN LUKE is coming through! Get ya makeup out!"
October 25, 20159 yr comment_222070 Standard runthroughs. Brave it alone felt comparatively weak in cabin but is the best I've done out of the 2. Perks of knowing the actors they will make your experience amazing. No offence but that just makes your point invalid. The "standard" person who doesnt know the actors doesnt get this more intense experience during a normal run through of a maze. Therefore the touching at thorpe is less intense than that at AT if everyone is getting thrown about etc regardless if they know the actors or not.
