So it wasn't necessarily the marketing campaign that was delayed, just the reveal to (scare) geeks. It was going to be revealed at ScareCON yeah, and yeah the focus was still put on Ghost Train, but that was because it was delayed. The announcement would have created marketing. Remember, the BBC were at ScareCON and Thorpe would have pushed the 15th year thing when they announced it so something would have come about. And even if it was for the geeks, all those FB pages would have posted about it and it would just get about.
July 14, 20169 yr comment_238461 It does seem very early to start Fright Nights advertising based on earlier years, but I guess with no summer event it makes sense to start advertising it earlier.

July 14, 20169 yr comment_238470 Thorpe Posted this trailer to their Facebook too, looks promising! https://www.facebook.com/thorpepark/videos/10154172614915867/
July 15, 20169 yr comment_238485 Is it me or does running down a train track spell a health and safety minefield for people falling over?

You could take the risk. £5 for standard pass holders atm. Where can I get the reservation tickets from? I can't it find anywhere on the Fright Nights page.
July 15, 20169 yr comment_238503 Go to buy tickets, scroll to the date you want. Click and it should be one of the 3 ticket options for the date you're after.
July 15, 20169 yr comment_238504 Tickets aren't 16p for premium reservations? What a disgrace and missed opportunity. 4.5/10
July 15, 20169 yr comment_238507 I can't buy tickets. The dates for October are not a link on my screen. Anyone else know when this will be sorted? Literally all other dates are fine and when I go to October it's just grey apart from a few days in the week, I can't imagine tickets were sold out over night

July 16, 20169 yr comment_238536 I reckon a train will be used in this attraction as the final scare.
July 16, 20169 yr comment_238564 This is what you should see. First two weekends are £5 for standards. Half term a tenner bar the 27th-29th which is 15 (guessing that's when they expect to be busy

July 23, 20169 yr comment_238818 Lionsgate have announced the reboot/sequel to The Blair Witch Project "Blair Witch" releasing just in time for Fright Nights. What could this mean for this years Blair Witch Project maze, an overhaul doesn't sound unlikely if you ask me...
July 23, 20169 yr comment_238820 I personally think it looks quite good and would be happy for the maze to be updated...
July 23, 20169 yr comment_238824 Lol that film announcement came out of nowhere <3 Given that they've been marketing the maze as 'Blair Witch' and not 'Blair Witch Project', it makes me think that they'll try and push the link quite a lot. Whether we'll see many changes is different, but I'd be quite happy to see it return in its 2015 state to be fair.

July 23, 20169 yr comment_238831 That film does not need a reboot! I thought the first one was OK but rebooting it would ruin the entire point of the movie since it will almost certainly have a big budget. But then again they *might* be able to pull off a better one depending on how it's done!
July 23, 20169 yr comment_238832 It's a sequel, but rebooted for a new age group. Similar to Jurrasic World and Star Wars. I did notice in the trailer they said "we've just went around in a circle". If they could manage to make TBWP into a similar style to Sub-Species where there's no set tour that'd be very interesting - although probably very hard to do in its current location.

That's more than likely a nod to the original film where... the group realise they've passed the same log a couple of times and hence are going round in circles
