Benin Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Let's be honest, the poster is rather amateurish, the chainsaw guy especially so... Kinda does look like "My First Photoshop" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Two photos from today; It appears that at least the outskirts of the marquee have more permanent walls (like there was in The Curse/Seven), so hopefully there won't be any curtains this year!

Cian Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 A another new (but very fake, like PrankInvasion fake) teaser has been uploaded..."Cuddles The Bear", reckon this has any actual significance to this years Fright Nights?

mrmatt Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'm still hoping for a last minute reveal of another maze or scare zone but I don't think this will happen. also, as Thorpe park are shockingly bad at replying to emails, does anyone know when we would expect to see fast track packages for fright nights and also do they sell Darren brown fast tracks in advanced over the phone? appreciate any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been at them for ages on the maze fast passes as well as the containment and brave it alone tickets. I've just been told, they'll be on nearer the time. It's less than a month till I visit, pretty poor they aren't available yet to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmatt Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 That's what I thought. It's basic customer service really. I emailed and literally didn't get a reply, though on the bottom of the auto email it says they will be back to me in 7 days. 3 weeks on.. I'm sat here like what the hell. silenthillXD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Use Facebook to message them - they'll get back to you much earlier. As for Ghost Train, it doesn't currently have Fastrack and is unlikely to have it until next year in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 I know all the hype is still here for this years fright nights and all, but I really think 2017 needs to see a complete re vamp with none of the 5 current mazes returning, the mazes need to be spread throughout the park, not just on one side along by Colossus. I think the event needs a good 6-8 scare attractions and I have a few in mind The Enfield haunting- based on the true story, follow the sisters through their house, be careful of the poltergeist, a very dark maze, a finale similar to Molly Crowe. Located in a well themed fassaud in the huge empty area on the left hand side of stealth plaza. 4/5 stars Epping forest- a very long maze based on the haunted Epping forest, will feature a few indoor sections like creepy huts but is mainly outside, similar to Blair witch just a different theme. The queue will start at the current finish for Blair witch by rumba and inferno and it will run down the current Blair witch layout and will continue round the predicted platform 15 route aswell, making it a very long attraction. 3/5 stars The titanic: what remains- located in the barge where saw alive is currently located, venture through the amazingly themed wreck of the world famous cruise liner, the maze route stays the same but six rooms have some great effects and new theming, the outside is themed extremely well. Some old props from the curse could be used. 4/5 stars The tribe- the most hyped maze for the event, located in the current location for IAC, filled with actors that are very physical and will do their best to separate the group. Doesn't need extra theming or effects as they are already there, just low the lights and fill it with Crazy actors and you have a great maze, the isolation chambers are used very well. 5/5 stars Cabin 13- the previous CITW just lost its IP and theming, the rest of the maze is exactly the same so the crowd pleaser doesn't have to leave the event. 4/5 stars The labyrinth- x is shut for the Halloween season and an Egyptian pyramid vinyl is added over the current fassaud, the entire queue and exit corridors are used for the maze, it is themed to an Egyptian pharaoh and is very scary, has the most actors inside. 5/5 stars Zombocalypse- a zombie apocalypse themed scare zone running from storm surge all the way down to detonator and nemesis. 2/5 stars phsycho lane- the path from the lost city flats past Colossus and ends by samurai is filled with crazy actors, not an obvious theme just hoards of crazy, chainsaw weal ding actors. The entire event will have amazing audio, fog and lighting effects and will have some fun interactive roamers. I know none of this will obviously never happen because it's Thorpe, but it's just an idea of mine. pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 I wonder whether they can use the Marquee near Swarm (Where Brainiac was)? Overall I think Thorpe lacks good places to put scare attractions TBH, specially compared to the Towers where they have a massive Gothic building at there hands..

mrmatt Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hello again, thinking of staying at Thorpe for fright nights this year. I haven't before as I only live hour away.

Coaster Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Is it just me who doesn't have any enthusiasm for Platform 15? It just feels like we may be losing a maze in favour of a (mostly) outdoor attraction, bringing the number of mazes down to 3. Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexLyons Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 The Big Top's posters are making their return, plenty of plywood walls are ready to be installed later today also. The Wheel Of Misfortune was also unveiled by five Creative Team members, they appeared to be in deep discussion regarding it for a good while, presumably due to the new mazes and VIP packages. Prevention of filming has been tightened too. Cabin's sign remains unmoved inside the entrance. L7123456 and Coaster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Last year the promotional video for TBT showed a scary-looking clown, however it wasn't actually featured in the maze. It's probably just for marketing, but I could be wrong! KingNemesis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
