JoshC. Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I agree about Se7en; it was quite an understated attraction at the time, but was a fab maze which was a true assault on the senses. It's last season was brilliant as well! I wouldn't want it to return as nothing is ever quite as good when it returns, but a maze of that format would be a welcome addition to the line up in my opinion!

holtjammy16 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yeah I guess so, it's just a shame they got rid of it in the first place, I feel Asylum and seven were pretty good staple FN mazes that had good enough themes to stay popular for a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmatt Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Do we reckon that platform is going to be the only new maze this year. I feel a bit disappointed that the lionsgate mazes are returning again. I felt last year was terrible for those mazes. I think they should either get a new deal with different movies or scrap the lionsgate ones and do brand new ideas and mazes in house or with a different movie company.

They did this with Containment I believe. When The Big Top was announced in August, Containment wasn't announced until mid September.

Owen Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 The resort have only confirmed a single new maze will be joining this year. If anything more is to be added it was not being planned before hand - this isn't to say the existing mazes won't be revamped. yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0wl Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 I think it can easily be suggested that the new maze could be themed around DBGT but does anyone think it could involve riding a train through the forest aswell as a maze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I wouldn't think riding a train (imagine the throughput!) but I could see a Field of 1000 Screams finale where you all board a train (a fake one) only to be chased out of it at the end maybe!

Owen Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 It's hardly a Merlin only thing, it's a different ending to a maze used all over the world. Platform 15 I am hoping will have a unique and interesting finale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Infected people from DBGT somehow got their hands on a chainsaw... I doubt P15 will have a chainsaw finale. It won't fit at all (Big Flops chainsaw didn't fit though so you never know) I would love to be chased out by a train coming at full speed down a tunnel! That would be pretty terrifying! Never going to happen unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt A Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Chainsaw finale worked well on Studio 13, with the lights turning on and off and altogether just working well. I hope Platform 15 is done to a high standard and has some original ideas to it, Big Top last year was a disaster. Although Studio 13 the year before was very good in my opinion.

MachoMachine Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Big Top's chainsaw ending did fit but only if you saw Campfire stories, explained the backstory of the brothers but they didn't manage to show that in the maze itself which is why it seems so odd. Was a nice touch in Face it Alone though... well ll we know platform 15 story is set on a deserted railroad so I'm expecting more metal cutting tools if I'm honest Celia Mae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 https://www.thorpepark.com/events/fright-nights/ Platform 15 teaser! The FN push is coming early this season! There's also posters on park advertising P15, and VIP experiences, including Face it Alone, BTS of mazes and a new Zombie Academy thing.

Mitchada04 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 What's brilliant is how this whole campaign is also about 2 months behind schedule thanks to the delays of Ghost Train. Halloween events are essentially Thorpe's only event now so I expect it to be hugely marketed. Sad we didn't get to play a game and have Platform15 teased to us it's always good fun trying to work out what we're getting. Annual pass reservation tickets are also available now! £1 for premiums but I assume that is still just the to guarantee type thing so if they do hit capacity. You could take the risk. £5 for standard pass holders atm. Also, with the park being closed more in the week between the FN dates, could this be the year we finally see more on park theming? They'll have more time with less people about in the mid weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I was under the impression that Thorpe were planning on revealing Platform 15 at ScareCON (in late May), but decided against it because of Ghost Train and wanting to keep the focus on that? So it wasn't necessarily the marketing campaign that was delayed, just the reveal to (scare) geeks. On 7/14/2016 at 7:23 PM, TallGuyDom said: Have we ever seen a fright night campaign released before August? If anything were in-front of schedule. Expand Not that I can recall, especially for a specific maze. Probably the only major campaign for FN that happened before August was back in 2005, when they bought Freakshow 3D back in summer, and pushed the fact they were getting 2 new mazes, so this was people's last chance to have a go!
