mrmatt Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Looking at the towers times fright night thread it looks like a walking dead living nightmare attraction might be happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quorn Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Pretty much sums up what has already been announced but they posted a blog about what's happening this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Do you think containment will return as containment? Or as something else in its place? because last Friday when I walked past it I noticed that all signage had been removed. Don't know if it was just so they could keep it nice for FN but just intrigued to know if anything is happening with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshuaA Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 From inside sources I've heard that replacing Containment will be "Katie Hopkins: the escape!" (Basically just being locked in shipping container with Katie Hopkins.. scariest thing ever) Anyway back on topic- I really hope Merlin don't mess this up, if the IP is the walking dead then black felt walls or long unthemed tunnels (like what they pulled in Platform) really are going to look silly next to the high budget effort of Universal's take on the IP..

I remember a lot of people saying that Thorpe would look terrible compared to Universal when both parks did the Cabin in the Woods maze. But, at the time, people were impressed by Thorpe's effort and photos did make the two seem of similar quality. And Thorpe's scare tactics are very different to Universal's, so the way they are received is wildly different. As ever, any IP will have input into the quality of any attraction they're involved in. So there might not be any room for Merlin to muck up. JoshuaA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattgwise Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Walking dead really is worth looking into. It's a fantastic series full of drama, character and emotion. I'd be very surprised if it didn't get you hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexLyons Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Mind the profanity in this clip folks, but for those with three minutes to spare, and a desire to not spend this Halloween scratching their heads, here ya go! Only objection to the whole video is Michonne being called out as the best, but I'll leave that debate there, wrong forum for that... Also of note, your friendly service remainder that with today being the 29th of July, we have exactly two months to wait before FRIGHT NIGHTS commences! 400400 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkEwan Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 This year is gonna be my first fright nights and probably my only one (because of how far I live away from thorpe) so I might only end up doing a couple of mazes because I also want to ride the coasters at night. So which mazes are worth doing? (I get that a few of them aren't coming back this year but I mean out of the ones that we know about like saw alive) and also does anyone have an idea of how busy saturday 7th will be? only day I can really go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wait till it's dark to do the big top. Marc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
