Mattgwise Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 OK fair play I take that back seeing as I can see fantasy Island, Chessington and towers already promoting fright nights. Let's hope something is mentioned soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntman707 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 They will have to offer a good refresh this year to get me interested and pay for tickets after all this Walking Dead year stuff. New audio, better atmosphere, improved mazes. If it's more of the same, I'd rather do more independant events this year especially since my annual pass has expired. I would like to try Towers Scarefest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1729 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Personally I be very surprised if Sanctum returned for a second year. Its construction of containers means it was completely removed and felt to me like a temporary maze rather than a maze used for several years. The location is also didn't handle rain as shown during the last year. Also to get to it required putting it in the backstage which not sure if could be handled well operationally Still could be surprised but it felt like a maze that wouldn't return again Still Platform 15 would prob have a few tweaks I be surprised if you get any more major changes (like a house being plonked in a railway trackbed) maybe they improve the tunnel more. not sure how, you cant make it shorter or wider due to it passing through a "ride area" of saw still we have to see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L7123456 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 The pop badge calendar tells all. I'd say it was irrelevant if not for the Fright Nights 2018 pop badge. If this is anything to go by, the lineup will be: Big Top, Platform, Living Nightmare, Saw Alive, Sanctum and a new maze. There's rumours flying around about what the new maze could be and where it would go, the strongest one being that The Blair Witch is returning. We'll likely find out on September 2nd according to this calendar. Realistically, the IAC area is the only free space I could think of for a new maze...

kainechris83 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Having never been to a fright night before, I know its really busy, but what days does it tend to be at the quietest in October. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 The event usually gets busier the closer to haloween you get, the start is usually the quietest time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntman707 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yeah, the earlier the better for FN. The park frequently reaches capacity after mid October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a reason why the tunnel is as long as it is, and never been broken up. WWTPRadio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know its ride area, however thats not to say it cant directly join a slightly wider room section without any gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I’m assuming the new maze will be where zombie hunt is now as I can’t think of anywhere else with enough space (apart from the beach which won’t be used due to problems in previous years), this also leads me to think that it is highly likely that the third maze will also be walking dead themed as Thorpe won’t put in the effort to completely change what is currently there. If this is true it’ll be a real shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true it’ll be a real shame Honestly I think the new maze this year will Most Likely be where the zombie Hunt exit is at the Moment and I've heard that a maze from the past is returning there's rumours of Blair witch returning which I think is not going to happen and in my opinion I think Studio 13 will return as it's not a IP Maze whereas Blair witch is A IP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben199 Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Looks like we're heading towards 3/6 of the mazes being outdoors. Really disappointing if so. Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I honestly think that Containment going really isn't a loss, honestly it wasn't worth the money IMO and I think it won't be missed at all. I wouldn't mind a third Walking Dead maze, I think as long as they make it well themed and fun that is one step above what Containment ever was. I think Platform and Big Top returning will be enough to make the event as good as last year, Living Nightmare is also a decent maze IMO. Sanctum I hope they heavily change and extend, if so then it could be a really good warm-up attraction for the bigger mazes. Saw Alive will probably be mundane as per usual, but if the new maze is good then I think this could be a great lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
