MattyMoo Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 What co-incidental timing http://www.halloweenattractions.co.uk/haunts/shocktoberfest This page shows the new names Twisted Clowns 3D and VIXI but the links don't redirect to the new pages yet.

Though obviously things can change from Preview Night! Coven last year for example was kinda terrible on preview night, though on my later run through the actors really found their feet compared to its opening night. I'm so hyped though, I actually bought tickets back last Christmas (please don't judge me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 VIXI better not be hooded, tulleys should announce a full lineup soon as Thorpe and towers both have now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing they haven't told us is much of a description on the mazes, though they have announced the full lineup. I really think some things are best left secrets though, so Tulleys current approach of not spilling much beans on VIXI is just making me more intrigued on whats gonna happen in the new attraction. Anyway we pretty much know what's gonna happen at Tulleys this year. Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I still think there are a few things that need updating from what I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quorn Posted September 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Thought VIXI was meant to be completely new? Apparently it's The Hellements VIXI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quorn Posted September 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Oh yeah and the other descriptions have been updated too, Twisted Clowns will still have the gimmicky 3D. The Cellar also hints towards another creature being featured in the maze, not sure if it's the same description as last year. Also believe this to be a new image for VIXI that I don't remember seeing in the Hellements gallery last year: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Well that's just utter **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 And btw the other creature referred to in the cellars description is the inflatable snake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Suggests to me that VIXI was always meant to just be a retheme of Hellements, but the name change is there to manage expectations. JoshuaA and Jack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 So I guess this will probably be a few changes to Hellements- which to be fair I was expecting the hooded element to return anyway, so I'm not too disappointed. Yes a ground up maze to replace Hellements would be better, but I think Hellements with the right changes could actually be a pretty good attraction. I do think Coven and Chop Shop will shine this year, as both with a few changes could be absolutely brilliant. I think Twisted Clown's 3D really depends on how they pull it off. If its a full 3D experience, then I think it might flow better than the abrupt 3D section at the end last year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Doing the tulleys escape room today, I'll see if I can get any pictures or see anything to update you guys on Mer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 No pictures but from what I could see everything looks ready, the only thing I noticed was that the two marquees out the front of the cellar didn't have their covers on, apart from that and the travelling rides I think they're all set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'm so hyped for Preview Night in a few weeks! Though the Funfair rides from my memory don't open on Preview Night anyway so it makes sense that there not up. I'm still intrigued to see if they do the yearly "world record" thing on preview night this year as they usually do a world record of some sort.. Like 2015's Zombie Conga Line, or 2016's Witches record, I hope they do something like this again as its a really nice way to open the event.

JoshuaA Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 How's construction going? I would pop down the road to go and check though I'm so lazy Anyway only a week Saturday before Tulleys begins, the hype is on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is pretty much ready apart from the travelling sim, flats, few food stalls and the tractors need connecting to the trailers for the hayride. The staff are so sick at tulleys, they took me for my own personal little tour around the farm and got to see behind the scenes on vixi and colony, and even got to walk the route of the hayride which took a good 25 minutes, it was bloody amazing!!!

JoshuaA Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Thats awesome! Very interested to see how different VIXI will be. That is pretty awesome by the staff though. Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 When's everyone going? And who's gonna be reviewing/ doing spoilers? If I'm the first one on these forums to visit on the 6th I'll make it my job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'll try my best to keep my preview night review spoiler free, though for those who want to get spoiled I'll probably some put some of it in spoiler tags. Can't wait for preview night though, the atmosphere is always so awesome when they open the event. Heck, the atmosphere is good every night.
