JoshC. Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago Well it's time to start that thread... Jack has shown a couple of new posters that appeared in Trailers' queue: Now there's lots of room for speculation here. It could be for 2 new (rethemed) rooms. The left poster could certainly be a retheme of the first room (the dentist scene). The right poster is a bit more open to interpretation. I've seen some suggest this could be a hint to The Walking Dead The Ride leaving, given that X was its previous name, and the right poster looks a bit zombie-like. Given the nod to the date (the start of Fright Nights), I think that's unlikely. The right poster has the glazed-over eyes look, which is vaguely reminiscent of Dead Beat's advertising too. I expect that whatever these posters are, they are some sort of hint to what is to come, even if very tenuously linked. But for now, they've done the job of getting some people talking about Fright Nights. --- As for a more broad thing for Fright Nights, I've been told that this is the last year that Fright Nights will have an in-house Entertainments acting team. 2026 will see the park shift to having an external agency provide Ents, similar to how the other UK Merlin parks are operating this year. I do wonder if that will affect things. On a personal level, the one thing I really want Thorpe to do for Fright Nights is a proper alone experience. Yes, we have Survival Games where you can be split up, but it's not the same as a proper alone experience. I'm not sure if there's demand for an experience like this. A proper alone experience is usually more theatrical and story-led, with less re-visit potential, and less jump scares. But they can be significantly scarier and more impactful than the types of mazes Thorpe offer. They warrant an upcharge, and a more expensive one at that, so can still be wildly profitable. Even looking at those posters, you could fit in the story of an alone experience. Being alone in a medical ward where something bad happened. The "unearthing" poster could relate to being 'buried alive'. This is purely my imagination running wild here, but it's something which could really work.

Inferno Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago The posters could be anything couldn’t they. Wasn’t the exodus one a hint to angry birds leaving or something? 🤷♂️ Jack’s video brought these posters up while talking specifically about fright nights however so I suppose it’s more likely to be related to Trailers rather than elsewhere in the park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing worse than shops putting Christmas stuff in shops in August is the people who moan about Christmas stuff being in shops in August like it's something new though... 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing worse than people moaning about Christmas stuff in shops in August is forums talking about halloween. JoshC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
