October 8, 201212 yr comment_142183 yes ive been in hell-Ements on Saturday I am suprised thorpe park haven't heard of it being reasonably close to Tulleys farm! Btw this is a video of Hell-Ements:
October 8, 201212 yr Author comment_142184 They mention being 'Bagged an tagged' in their description. This is a slang term for when they tie the hands of somebody behind their back and put a bag over their head to restrict sight and movement. Unless they tie your hands together, it doesn't look like there is a worlds first element that we currently know about. Whatever goes on in The Passing, it must cause a low throughput because of this fastrack/timeslot system so I guess it must be pretty impressive; be it a worlds first element or not.
October 8, 201212 yr comment_142187 Having been to Tulleys farm for the first time on saturday, I have to say HellEments was pretty good. I wasn't going to book the passing till I tried the one at Tulleys but booked it all now, as I know Thorpe will do something better Will be going on friday, and will try to get lots of pics!
October 8, 201212 yr Author comment_142188 Somebody said it a few pages back. But they were paraphrasing a conversation with a member of staff from the help line thingy. I wouldn't take it too literally.
October 8, 201212 yr comment_142190 The park has not officially claimed that there's a world first. Hours before the official announcement, a member on here posted this: This is what I said; ME: I am phoneing up to enquire about the fright night on 19th october. can I book that over the phone with you? TP: Booking details for the event will be released soon, it is going to be exciting as there is a new horror attraction coming your way. ME: I know I'm very excited about this, they are releasing details about this today arent they? TP: Yes these details will be released shortely, I have been told that there will be a £3 entrance fee to this attraction. ME: Oh right, Why is there an extra charge as the prices for fright nights already are increased? TP: It is because the maze includes a world first element. ME: Oh Right TP: Is there anything else we can help you with? ME: Yea can you confirm the family and friend discount price for that day using a merlin annual pass? TP: Thorpe Park have not eyt decided whether or not to put the family and friend discount in place for this event. But there final decition will be made and released in due course. ME: Ok, Thank you. Hope this gives a bit of outline as to how the conversation went ... to me it just doesnt seem fair as an annual pass holder! He also mentioned that the other mazes as usual would be included in the price. In the marketing of The Passing, there's been no mention of a world first, but just "Using cutting edge technology never before seen at Thorpe Park", so perhaps it was a case of the person on the phone got confused / said the wrong thing? EDIT: Beaten to it "
October 8, 201212 yr comment_142191 The countdown till fright nights is drawing to a close! Soon the topic will be moved to the normal Thorpe park page! Who's looking forward to The Passing and riding the superb THE SWARM in the dark?
October 8, 201212 yr comment_142197 The countdown till fright nights is drawing to a close! Soon the topic will be moved to the normal Thorpe park page! Who's looking forward to The Passing and riding the superb THE SWARM in the dark? I think I'm giving The Passing a miss tbh, I don't fancy going round any part of the maze on my own without being able to hold shoulders. Also I have this idea in my mind that parts of it will include lying down, I'm not up for feeling claustrophobic, the tunnel in X10 was enough : Will be interesting to read y'all reviews on it
October 8, 201212 yr comment_142198 Took on Saturday - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vqXJ-WGKcs&feature=g-all-u
October 8, 201212 yr comment_142201 I'm going on the day before it opens (Thursday) shall be taking pictures
October 8, 201212 yr comment_142226 Compared to hellgate, just looking at the one picture shows one hell of a rehaul has taken place in that building, which is good news. Was just thinking, I wonder how they'll utilize the old revolving tunnel? Seems like a perfect place for "the passing" into the afterlife to happen, no?
October 9, 201212 yr comment_142234 (First post here. Hello!) According to a retweet made by Thorpe Park on Twitter, someone posted a comment saying: "Spending the day doing the audio for Fright Nights at Thorpe Park - total change in how it'll sound from the past 10 years!" Interesting...... Maybe the audio across the park will be Halloween songs such as "Thriller", instead of the usual Midnight Syndicate music. If that's the case, I'm not to sure how that'll work though. But, lets wait and see!
October 9, 201212 yr comment_142242 Interesting...... Maybe the audio across the park will be Halloween songs such as "Thriller", instead of the usual Midnight Syndicate music. How did you gather that from the tweet?
October 9, 201212 yr comment_142255 Hey Guys Another photographic clue about THE PASSING has appeared on their Facebook Page! Check it out below!
October 9, 201212 yr comment_142259 Couple of things: First off - we've just had it confirmed that the mazes open at 3pm this year as our behind the scenes tour of Asylum has been brought forward to 2.30 Also - the "bagging and tagging" was done at Project Fear in Yorkshire earlier this year - check out my review at the time - http://www.scaretouruk.com/review---project-fear.html Michael www.scaretouruk.com
October 9, 201212 yr comment_142260 They had better not get rid of the Asylum queueline theme... yes I no the song was well good and I'm also going on the Friday so will make lots of videos

It seems like Thorpe are setting out to do a similar thing to that Project Fear thing.. (great review btw) sounds petrifying
October 9, 201212 yr comment_142268 How did you gather that from the tweet?I didn't say for definite that the music will be replaced with Halloween Songs, its just a guess judging by the sound of that tweet. I might be completely wrong, but who knows?Plus, in the "Questions to Thorpe Park" section of this forum, a member suggested playing Halloween songs this time for Fright Nights, and Thorpe replied hinting it might happen.
October 9, 201212 yr comment_142282 Maybe halloween songs around the park, but in the maze queues? No way, they need to keep the theme music!
October 9, 201212 yr comment_142289 Seems like they have updated their messege BEFORE: AFTER: Difference 1: The price has changed on the newspaper Difference 2: The text has changed on the newspaper Difference 3: The article name has changed Difference 4: The newspaper name has changed Difference 5: MOST EXCITING, the countdown is sooner Edited October 9, 201212 yr by Cookie Dough
October 9, 201212 yr comment_142293 Think you put the same image up twice CD. Something I didn't notice before though, £24 for the Surrey Messenger, that is a paper I won't be buying.
