October 1, 20186 yr comment_260492 In a frankly unheard of twist of events, I'm going to Thorpe on 4th, 11th and the 13th so will be interesting to see the difference in mazes, queue management etc. over those days... the initial reports are a little concerning but will reserve judgement until I experience it myself. (Tulleys on 6th.... shhhh)

October 1, 20186 yr comment_260511 Those who are keen to try out the mazes before they open on Friday can book into the Shark on Thursday and get access to Fright Nights and the mazes on the press event ?

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS, I blagged my press event ticket under the premise that general riff raff would NOT be allowed in. Unbelievable. Now I know what the MAP holders group feel like - FUMIN'! ??
October 1, 20186 yr comment_260515 @MattyMoo Whats the betting all those VIP passholder are frantically booking shark stay just to go to press night ? Then they’ll have a meltdown when they are told sorry you aren’t VIP enough to queue jump
October 1, 20186 yr comment_260516 Still confused how Terror at Amity High can’t be a scarezone when it’s just actors even without theming; when Towers tan Freak Show and the one in Forbidden Valley - which was literally just people with chainsaws - and continue to advertise Ancestors and this new Galactica AIRways thing as attractions when they are, oh, just actors. I also see other people’s points this year was quantity driven. Don’t think they were as bad as some are saying but yes, even compared to Scarefest it lacks; and nothing is coming close to Big Top etc.
October 1, 20186 yr comment_260517 I’m still concerned with the lack of fright night fast track packages ?

October 2, 20186 yr comment_260552 It's £111 for 2 people. I think that's very good value bearing in mind that includes park tickets as well at £33 each if you don't have an annual pass

Members on Towers Street figured that type of accommodation is normally worth about £40 a night max.

Yeah, it includes park tickets, containment at a tenner each, car parking, breakfast next day and fast track on all the mazes for an hour. Park tickets, containment and car parking alone comes to around £90 - £95 ish so I think its really good value.

Fastrack is £28 for The terrifying trio (Walking Dead: Do or die, SAW Alive & Vulcan Peak) Triple threat is also £28 (Living nightmare, platform 15 & deed creek woods) or ultimate £150 which includes all mazes and rides (excludes containment)

Blair witch isn’t included on any of the packages. Be good just to have one package for all mazes. This is gonna cost me £60 nearly pp last year ot was £30 for 5 mazes. Why couldn’t they just do £40 for 7 mazes. This is very disappointing

Maybe it’s to push people to fork out £150 which I personally think is a downright greedy price
October 3, 20186 yr comment_260584 This is my 13th year going to fright nights and they have definitely ****ed it up for people this year. I’m not buying them I’ve decided. I always have before but it’s not worth the money. It works out at over £9 per maze

I believe the “new attraction” will be another package with Blair witch.
