September 28, 20177 yr comment_253012 Of course, Thorpe Park Mania will also be around giving updates from tonight's event. In fact, we've already got some updates on our Facebook page...
September 28, 20177 yr comment_253013 I will also be giving my 14 Facebook friends status updates during the night, as per the requirements of having entry to the press event. My advice to anyone going tonight is to make sure you ride Stealth early, just sayin'

September 28, 20177 yr comment_253019 And I give you... a fright nights mug! Taken from the tpg live blog. There’s an audio clip on the page as well for those that care. Enjoy the photos and videos from tonight. http://live.themeparkguide.biz/
September 28, 20177 yr comment_253023 Add Thorpe_park_mania on snapchat for maze POV's filmed on sexy Spectacles ?
September 28, 20177 yr comment_253024 So the merch is literally just the FN advertising poster stuck on whatever? Tad disappointing.
September 28, 20177 yr comment_253025 I love the lighting around the park! Great to see the park have picked up on geeks comments... http://live.themeparkguide.biz/

October 1, 20177 yr comment_253080 Somehow I just doubt that it was 3 hours long... Unless the throughput is insanely awful, but it doesn't seem no worse to other mazes.. Sanctum being 5 minutes is at least partially down to the location. It's quite tucked away anyway, and away from all other scare attractions. The scare zone / walkthrough style set up of the attraction means it probably does have a high throughput too.

Would the fact that it’s a short maze (based on literally eveyone’s reviews) increase it’s throughput?
October 1, 20177 yr comment_253082 Not really. With mazes, it's pretty much all down to the time between groups being dispatched. You could have a maze which takes 10 minutes and a maze which takes 2 minutes have a group go through every 60 seconds in theory, so long as there's enough actors and enough space to separate them throughout the whole maze. I assume that they'll also be able to batch in bigger groups for Sanctum because of the zone style, which will massively help the throughput. That's something that Blair Witch was able to do, but the maze didn't suit that idea as well as Sanctum does to be honest.

I was only in the queue for an hour
October 1, 20177 yr comment_253085 Living nightmare is possibly the slowest moving queue I have ever been in, however I must admit that it is worth it as your experience is very much just your group. Thorpe have also done a really good job of splitting up groups in maze this year: in big top you can be split up in the strobes, by the mirrors section, and the amount I was split up from my group in the final parts with the three doors was unreal.
October 1, 20177 yr comment_253097 Yes - as above, it's not easy staying together in Big Top unless you put hands on shoulders! At least those wait times are in keeping with how good each maze is
October 2, 20177 yr comment_253106 What's the best day to visit coming up in terms of queue times? I was thinking of going Friday 13th - any idea if that will be shorter than perhaps the weekend?
