September 8, 20168 yr comment_241075 Let's be honest, the poster is rather amateurish, the chainsaw guy especially so... Kinda does look like "My First Photoshop"
September 8, 20168 yr comment_241076 I guess the picture heard all your complaints and has now disappeared!
September 8, 20168 yr comment_241089 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!
September 9, 20168 yr comment_241137 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?
September 9, 20168 yr comment_241140 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

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.
September 9, 20168 yr comment_241142 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.
September 10, 20168 yr comment_241154 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.
September 10, 20168 yr comment_241156 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.
September 10, 20168 yr comment_241158 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..

The marquee I think is where the actors hang out to get food and rest so sadly doubt it
September 11, 20168 yr comment_241196 Hello again, thinking of staying at Thorpe for fright nights this year. I haven't before as I only live hour away. Is the campfire stories worth staying for as that is the only pull for me to stay
September 11, 20168 yr comment_241217 Wonder if the spinning tunnel in Cabin in the Woods will be fixed for this year?
September 11, 20168 yr comment_241224 After stumbling across a construction video for fright nights it appears the old Canada creek train might be the "sleeper express"
September 11, 20168 yr comment_241230 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.
September 11, 20168 yr comment_241231 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.
September 12, 20168 yr comment_241297 Thorpe just posted this rather graphic and disturbing video on their Facebook... Are we gonna have the butcher roaming the park this year? I hope not after seeing this!

September 12, 20168 yr comment_241301 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!
September 12, 20168 yr comment_241303 I am surprised there is no warning about its' graphic nature. I certainly was not expecting that amount of gore, specially on Facebook, let alone the event
