JoshuaA Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Anyway they could add a family friendly maze, there are going in that direction a little. The Back To Future Maze would never happen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

400400 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 What sort of mazes do people want to see next year ? Personally: I would like saw replaced or a new route to freshen it up a bit. Keep the big top just sort out some things (mirror maze and first tent). I like the Blair witch so similar concept but with an in house ip. Cabin in the woods idea is perfect maybe new a route different doors and an in house IP. Shipping containers the maze isn't staying because of the ware on them (unless they buy some new ones) so I'd say use the area they did for Brainiac and have that kinda like at Alton with ss where you get split off from your group.

JoshuaA Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I would say I would like Saw and MBV to get scrapped. And BWP and Cabin staying for one year or two more with TBT. But I think Thorpe will keep Saw,TBT and scrap the rest. If the Lionsgate contract does not get renewed I see BWP,Cabin, and MBV all going 100%. I think Saw Alive is a seperate contract so I think Thorpe may keep it,even though it is dire now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L7123456 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 After visiting Scarefest yesterday I can say that Fright Nights was very disappointing this year. Queues are always over 120+, the mazes are short and lacking in scares, The Big Top was missing theming when I went... I could go on. I got on all the mazes at Scarefest within an hour, in half term, with time slot tickets and each maze was very well themed, highly scary and were each unique. Thorpe Park seriously need to improve the event next year, with possibly the addition of time slot tickets. If they reduced the lineup to maybe 3-4 mazes and made them longer, then that would work also, but they need to improve the event badly!

400400 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Pay per go mazes you expect less then hour queues and. Timeslot tickets wouldn't work at thorpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L7123456 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Even if it wouldn't work they need to improve the event greatly next year to try and reduce queues and to improve maze quality (and maybe length). If it's another Lionsgate year next year I won't go because it will be exactly the same. They also need to get there mazes finished on time and ready for the opening day!

400400 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 The only way to reduce queues is to sell less fast track and less park tickets. And we know that's never going to happen because they try to sell as many as the can at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Would going to pay per use attractions keep the queues down for some of the mazes. It may help increase the quality. Everyones raving about the Towers mazes, but I've heard nothing but mixed reviews for all of Thorpes this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JammyBand Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Everyone will hate me for this, but I think a Reserve n' Ride type of idea could possibly work? If they do it just for the mazes, the idea in principle would be very beneficial, its just the question as to can Thorpe Park actually do it?

MarkC Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I don't know if everyone had bad days, but my fright nights was excellent, managed to fall over get pinned down and dragged in cabin in the woods...

JammyBand Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I had an awesome time as well. The Big Top was surprisingly good on my run, and of course Cabin was brilliant as always!! It was my first time on Blair Witch too and it was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Pay per go mazes you expect less then hour queues and. Timeslot tickets wouldn't work at thorpe I think they could work. It also means they could also make some scenes last longer due to the Ques not being 1-3 hours long. Like Madame Mephisto in BT, when the que was a half a hour(ish) we got some interaction with her. Yestaday when the que was 2 hours long we walked into the first tent for her to point at the way out with no interaction with her at all! Timed slot maze will improve the que times as well as letting Thorpe do more acor-led scenes. IMO the 2-3 hours ques are not something Thorpe should just ignore. Even if fastrack wasn't selled at all I bet the ques will still be bad. The only other way is to make more mazes, which with budget,space,ect, I doubt they will do that..

Marc Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 The problem with charging is people will expect not to queue - took us just under 3 hours to do Alton mazes on Sunday which I found pretty frustrating after paying.

yeah Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 If the Lionsgate mazes do go (not that I've been in any - or will go in any), then why not use an idea from Alton - They have Terror or the Towers, so how about Terror of the Dome! No? Why not Flying Fish Sub Species: Tsunami! Still not convinced? How about The Haunting of Big Bob Jones? On second thoughts, Thorpe should use their own ideas.

Glitch Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 In reality I think Thorpe could just keep the mazezes and change the names. As if you went into those mazes minus cabin you would not be able to put two and two together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I would like Cabin and MBV to be redesigned TBH. MBV specially will need a redesign if they scrap the containers. Blair Witch I would like to be kept the same, but with a different name. EDIT: MBV and Cabin also need decent rethemes too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L7123456 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I really just want a complete change of all the maze themes and layout next year. I wouldn't mind if Cabin stayed the same and even BWP both with different names but I would like most of the layouts changed with an original idea for a theme.

JoshuaA Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 A couple of names spring to mind. Field Of 1000 Chavs, Carnival Of No Halloween Decorations, Terror Of The Fastrack: What Lies Within.
