Celia Mae Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 They aren't random numbers though, are they? Experiment 10 opened in the 10th Fright Nights, Studio 13 opened in the 13th, I believe Seven opened on the 7th... Also, there are other parts of the old train line that aren't he part with BWP on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Interesting that they've revealed this so early considering that it's usually around August that they reveal the lineup - I thought the Lionsgate contract was finished as of this year though? From the description it sounds like Platform 15 could be partly outside, maybe with some of it being located inside a mock-up train carriage? I can't say I'm enthusiastic about The Big Top returning after last year (terror of the curtains), Cabin in the Woods is good though.

Mitchada04 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Didn't they also try and haggle Studio 13 as the 13th maze they'd done? Saw Alive isn't in a place to build a flat, they have many other plots of land they can use first. They were going to announce their lineup at ScareCON but didn't want to do so until DBGT opened in the end (note, it hasn't been announced as such yet, just found on that always useful Short Breaks website!) Big Top has potential. It just needed more time which hopefully they've got now, especially as they should be able to build the basic layout much quicker now! As for the contract, they could have done another deal with Lionsgate for Cabin and BWP as they're popular. The original contract was up, didn't mean it would go, can always resign if both parties are happy (and I can't imagine either weren't after the popularity).

No by the log flume that loop of the track. Those actors are outside and it does say overground would be weird to be all indoors. Plus log flume now in motion meaning no health and safety risk. Time to theme it all up as well. * I mistook overgrown and overground. Still it adds to the case also those images are taken in the wood and rockwork where the train used to travel through.

Owen Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Like I say on the previous page, I can see the queue being on this train line, with the maze being in the storage shed. I also could see a Feild of 1000 Screams finale with a train at the end, so you're chase out the exit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'd be surprised if the maze is in the storage shed for the CCR trains, since the trains are still in there and still has the track in (I believe?). But who knows. Platform 15 sounds like a nice concept, and it's nice to see them chugging along with a train theme to help bounce the marketing between that and Ghost Train. The bringing back of past characters sounds cool, but I'm not sure how many are very recognisable? Of the past mazes, there aren't many characters from within the mazes... -Chainsaw patient from Asylum. But do they reallllllllly want to go there? -Goodwill family from Studio 13. -Hazmat suit guys from Experiment 10. -Harry Warden? Feels a bit...odd I guess. Could work great, but could be a bit weird at the same time. Should just keep to generic creepy / dark humoured characters in my opinion.

JoshuaA Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Honestly I thought the roaming actors were awful last year. Specially compared to Tulleys's roamers.. Tulleys's roamers are everywhere and offer fun banter. I really think Thorpe should introduce more fun roamers as currently they are just meh.. Overall I'm a little disapointed with the lineup, but hopefully they can improve the event this year.. The event needs serious Improvements. Fright Nights were a joke compared to Scarefest last year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Thorpe retaining lions gate? Well that was highly surprising. Platform 15 sounds interesting though, and could well be open before the ride itself for all we know. 400400 and JoshuaA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I don't see why the Lionsgate thing is so surprising now, seeing as it was confirmed at the start of the season? The roaming actors for me last year fantastic in terms of interaction - however they didn't seem to move from the Bush BBQarea which was an issue, especially when you'd expect them to be lurking near THE BIG TOP...

TarinMaria Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'm really disappointed in the line up, BWP is exactly like the film - nothing happens. CITW is a good concept but always poorly executed, it gets far too busy inside. Saw needs to include all 7 films this year, and then it needs to go. Big Top was laughable last year, and the queuing system even more so. I didn't get to do Containment cause the day we went only VIPs were allowed on it. I like the fact we have a new maze, I was also confused as to how it'd be on the train track, but BWP was still around. To be very honest, I might give my money to Towers this year...

Owen Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I must've caught Witch on a good day last year because it was absolute brilliant! There wasn't one group that stayed together one group of girls were split by one of them being chased to the end of the attraction - boy did she look freaked. I feel if this standard is kept every year it'll be a good year for FN's, we'll just have to wait and see... CharlieN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celia Mae Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 BWP was definitely a lot better last year than it had been the year before, and it seemed a lot longer. As for parts of the train tracks that could be used, there's always that section by Samurai where the cherry picker gets parked maybe? In regards to the actors I believe there was an incident a few years ago which means the roaming actors now have to be kept in one group and accompanied by a member of TP staff in uniform at all times. Unfortunately due to them always going round in a group there's a lot less park coverage, though often I've noticed groups of people who are there to visit the park who dress up in sometimes brilliant costumes and almost do as good a job as the TP official actors... Sometimes it's difficult to tell if they're real actors or not. Olistjj and Owen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 The new attraction could also start at Nemesis inferno at the exit of BWP and finish at swarm island or similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Let's think of this, though ..... Can Thorpe park really afford to drop one attraction for one which would only be effective after dusk if it is not in a tent / warehouse? Imagine how long the queues will be before dusk.

0wl Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Am I the only one who thinks it might take place behind loggers leap where CCR used to be? One of the photos you can see in the background the tent of which the train is still kept next to loggers Olistjj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holtjammy16 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Their new mazes all have felt so forgettable, I miss Asylum, Se7en etcetc.. I always heard people speak the worst of Hellgate but my run in that compared to my run in CITW last year, Hellgate wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
