mrmatt Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 I'm so excited for this. But... saying this year is the biggest ever is a bit of a lie as they have replaced two mazes with two mazes so not really bigger. I believe the most mazes fright night has had is 6 a few years ago. Hmmm. Unless there is more they aren't telling us. Quote

Hmmm. Unless there is more they aren't telling us. With the popularity of The Walking Dead id say its by far the biggest in that respect even if not in the count of mazes. Also mazes will open at 3pm this year but will open at 12pm during half term which will help queues! Quote
MarkC Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 Looking at the updated website it doesn't seem to state that Containment is a paid extra? Could this mean its free this year... Quote

I'm not gona lie I just read it and is a little disappointed that there doing two mazes on this one like topic if I'm honest after all the hype they say that but I'll probably get shot down for saying this ??

Marc Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 Website also states we will have "THE FINAL CUT CINEMA" Quote Haven’t got the guts to endure our scare mazes? Get your dose of horror at The Final Cut Cinema, now showing highlights from The Walking Dead series so far, plus the trailer for the upcoming season 8! Quote
MattyMoo Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 Hilarious that one of the press releases says "The living billboard which soaked unaware passing commuters in blood and guts this morning in London...." No it didn't. You'd get a lawsuit on your hands. ConnorJ and jessica2 1 1 Quote

This is what I'm saying. I feel a bit deflated seeing as we pretty much knew from the beginning it was walking dead but I was waiting for thorpe park to pull something else out the bag. And where are the promised scare zones. Because even though the outside mazes are great the good thing about scare zones is that you don't have to queue Quote
Themeparkadict Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 How long till the fastracks will be released do u think Quote
mrmatt Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Soon hopefully I think they still editing the website Edited September 5, 2017 by mrmatt Quote
1729 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 Hmm this is very interesting, 2 mazes based of the same IP, thats a unique move (though I say location is X for the indoor one and Blair witch for the outdoor one, unless plat 15 becomes even longer ) But if done right and with the right effort this could become quite a interesting event and that talk of using the cinema for walking dead clips a nice idea (throw in a actor or 2 in there for good measure though ) Quote

JoshuaA Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 I'm pretty happy with the lineup this year. The Walking Dead has been known for ages now- but I think the IP is very relevant and quite popular even over here, so I bet it'll bring in tons of people. Two attractions on The Walking Dead I guess is milking the most they can out of the IP, but overall the lineup looks pretty good. The Cinema is a nice extra too, and I think this might be one of the better years of the event if they put enough effort and theming into TWD. I'm actually a tad disappointed that Containment might be free this year, as in 2015/2016 it generally had no queue due to the slot system which meant it was the only thing in the lineup you didn't have to wait 120-180 minutes for..

mrmatt Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 The website have added two teaser videos for the mazes under their respective descriptions don't know how to link sorry Quote
TPC Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 The park have confirmed in Twitter that containment is not free Quote
Joester Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 Apparently platform 15 is getting an upgrade. I don't see what that could be though since there hasn't been much construction near it Quote
Themeparkadict Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 once the ultimate fastracks is relaeased can someone tel me thank you Quote
