September 10, 201213 yr comment_140999 Those signs have been used in that maze for at least two years now. The Asylum will stay the same (albeit the usual slight change of layout). E10 will return with the same layout (I believe). The curse won't change, unfortunately. I believe Se7en will not return and will be replaced with a new attraction. Sent from my iPad I never said that they were new signs, just hadn't noticed those small details before.

September 12, 201213 yr comment_141050 It's another maze... Themed to something scary... What do I win?
September 12, 201213 yr comment_141051 yes I no its a maze and hated is an anagram of death and It says rolling in ur grave
September 12, 201213 yr comment_141052 As a clever Facebooker pointed out, 'HATED' is an anagram of 'DEATH'. Couples with the turning in the grave thing, a maze themed around death / a cemetry seems likely?
September 12, 201213 yr comment_141055 Thats what I said and has anyone realised the swarm station is a church/cemetery!

September 12, 201213 yr comment_141060 Going back a step- turning in your grave.... a hint at claustrophobia?
September 12, 201213 yr comment_141064 E10 is the one I would regard as claustrophobic, especially near the start. There was a maze at Terenzi in a few years ago where guests were put into a very small, cramped corridor. A grim reeper would appear above you. Then the sound effect "You're all going to die down here" played, and you were plunged into complete blackness. 10-15 seconds later, a door would open right next to the guests and a figure would flash a light. Then, you "went over to the dark side" - travelling from life to death - the entirety of the experience was PITCH DARK - you'd walk into walls, suddenly flashlights and figures would burst into your face etc. A truly pitch dark maze is pretty intense.
September 12, 201213 yr comment_141070 I really do adore whoever is in charge of marketing at Thorpe Park. Cut past all the in your face brand imagery, and really they know exactly how to get people excited about their park. All you have to do is look at AT's pitiful attempt at hyping their new maze to see the difference.

September 12, 201213 yr comment_141074 The only difference is that Thorpe are using social media to drum up attention... You know, cos no other park in the world does this these days...
September 12, 201213 yr Author comment_141084 Looks like it is to do with dead people. I hope it's not something cheesy like a zombie takeover though...
September 13, 201213 yr comment_141088 A few twitter hash tags that noone actually knows about. It's not just that, it's AT in general. Marketing for SW7 has just been non existent so far. By this point we had actors, signs, countdown, even the rides name for THE SWARM. I'm not saying Thorpe are doing anything "revolutionary" but they certainly spoil their visitors compared to the meager effort AT put in.
September 13, 201213 yr comment_141091 It's not just that, it's AT in general. I'm not saying Thorpe are doing anything "revolutionary" but they certainly spoil their visitors compared to the meager effort AT put in. I thought that on Sunday when a reasonably busy Alton was closing its rides at 5 and I heard THORPE had extended theirs till 7. THORPE don't only spoil their guests with marketing!
September 13, 201213 yr comment_141092 That's usually because Thorpe's guests won't have been on as many rides as those at Towers... Of course though, depends on what the actual gate figures were at the parks on that day... And how much Fastrack was being oversold, which tends not to happen at Towers every single day... Literally the only reason parks ever extend their opening hours from the base time is to ensure guests don't complain that they didn't have enough time to ride things they wanted because it was too busy anyways... Either that or if you've had a reallllly crap day for maintenance you give everyone free tickets to return, which is kind of the basic piece of PR you'd expect from a park... Like how Towers dealt with the storm day earlier in the year...
September 13, 201213 yr comment_141093 Towers fastrack Is the same as THORPE nowadays over sold and over priced, queues were similar to be fair... Didn't notice any difference between them on Sunday anyway apart from the 2 hours extra at tp
September 13, 201213 yr comment_141094 Let's talk about Fright Nights and not which park is better yeah
September 13, 201213 yr comment_141095 A few twitter hash tags that noone actually knows about. To be fair, Thorpe's current promotion for the new attraction at FN is only slightly less cryptic than Sanctuary's, and as such is being prolonged over days, rather than hours. It will no doubt get a full announcement by the end of the week...
