jessica2 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I wonder if the roaming actors will do a lot of interaction with people or just walk through, I remember the monks and the you're next ones but sometimes there were too few actors to make an impact! The monks kinda just walked past everyone staring lol which was cool too.  So excited to go next week  not long to wait now...  Does anyone know if detonator still does the creepy music during fright night, despite now being angry birds themed?

MachoMachine Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Thorpe are doing some marketing on twitter by making actors hold pictures of celebs in some attractions! Gives a look (a very small one) into the Big Top, Platform 15 and Saw.

They are wearing the robes so that guests do not interact with them while they move to the other maze.  Also, its Fright Nights, plural.

Matt 236 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Well I think I know what the wood for the trees is hinting here perfectly, Loggers Leap is for the chop.

Never a roaming actor with cloaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I'm pretty sure they were a group of roaming actors. They wondered Swarm island and would stop and intimidate groups. Especially as you would also still see maze actors roaming from their mazes to the actor rooms etc in their maze costume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never a roaming actor with cloaks.  You've completely misread my post.   In 2014, one specific season, there was a large group of actors who roamed the park wearing cloaks and robes.  They would go round being generally creepy and intimidating.  After going round the park once, they would go backstage, decloak, and go round the park again, being much more active and scary.  Since they were seen in different clothes and had a different character about them they seemed like a different group of actors.  Below is a picture of said actors, from 'findascare'   Maze actors are in all black, and have their hoods up to cover their faces.  They almost always walk alone on park too. jessica2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CianBasq Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hi guys, let me just start off by saying this is my first time posting on here but bare with me as I've been doing some poking around for info on Platform 15. After going to Thorpe Park yesterday (September 30th) I've seen a few things regarding the new 2016 horror maze. The entrance is next to Samurai where the Canada Creek railway used to run past, there is an entrance to a long, black tunnel that is coated with a black tarp. After going on Colossus twice I can confirm it goes all the way back past Saw and Logger's Leap, takes a right turn into the trees around the back of Loggers and that's where the tunnel ends. After going on Saw 3 times in a row I am certain that the tunnel ends as it enters the trees near the place where the camera for Saw is positioned. The black tunnel is only 2 or 3 meters wide so I'm not too sure what to expect from there. After scouting outside Samurai (which was closed and testing all day yesterday) for around 30 mins we saw some staff wheeling a costume rail covered with a black tarp around. When looking underneath all that could be seen was some black and red cuffs at the ankle area of the trousers (relates back to the advert, conductor perhaps) there was also another member of staff carrying a sealed briefcase, can't give anything else other than that I'm afraid. The exit is next to the Canada Creek toilets and the railway track so my best guess is that it runs around loggers leap and through the trees. The exit (not surprisingly knowing Thorpe Park) is a shipping container. Some wood was being cut on a table saw in the creek railway station yesterday as well (presumably for Blair Witch) and from the exit of Nemesis you can see the hut at the end. Please see the images attached. That's all I could see. More coming soon! Thanks for reading my first post!

JoshC. Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 The entrance has been confirmed to be at the Canada Creek Railways station, to the left of the Blair Witch entrance.  So the route goes in reverse to what you were suggesting and finishes by Samurai.  That brown shipping container has been there literally years; no idea what it is used for though!

Wow, that is going to cause a lot of commotion in the Canada Creek area isn't it? So presumably they were touching up the station by cutting wood? Forgot to mention there was also a metal catering car outside what has been called the entrance for Platform (behind BWP) painted in a blood theme. Not sure if for attraction or just the park in general... Thanks for correcting me though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yes, I was on park yesterday and from Samurai I could see this black tunnel you were talking about. And, it's huge! Â It seemed to follow the railway for as Iong as I could see and was still there all the way past saw. So a considerable portion( if not all) of P15 will be indoors. jessica2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you pick the fastrack times Hey 0wl,  If you have standard annual passes you have to pay £5 on the website on the date you want to go and that will confirm that u will have a guarenteeded entry but if you dont and go thorpe park you may not get in.  No, you can not buy fastrack online individually, but you can get the feared five and if you get it on the day go to the NEMESIS INFERNO FAST TRACK SHOP as the Depth Charge fast track shop gets long ques and the Nemesis one is always empty.  I'm not sure, but I think they just give you a time dont quote me on that tho. ----------------------------------------------------- If you have anymore questions just ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
