August 29, 201312 yr comment_167188 One more place a maze could go is the Sunken Garden, behind Stealth where the Flying Fish used to be! Its unlikely but possible! I doubt they will add another maze now they've told us alot of the details
August 29, 201312 yr comment_167200 I think he's referring to location only, Sam. The locations aren't as well-publicised as the events themselves and only a few know where the mazes will be until Thorpe make a further announcement/Fright Nights starts. It doesn't look likely the Sunken Gardens will be chosen though.
August 29, 201312 yr comment_167207 I very much doubt a maze would go in Sunken Gardens, this is because the area is to small to house a maze as the paths are not that wide and long plus also the noise of nearby Stealth may also detract from factors as well.
August 29, 201312 yr comment_167261 It was just a thought being as everyone is talking about the outside maze, there is somewhere tucked away...but yeah as I said unlikely but you never know what Thorpe Park will do...hay to be fair they are having a Triathlon through the middle of the park!

August 30, 201312 yr comment_167348 It annoys me that they state "no entry will be permitted without a pre-booked ticket." It's false advertising as they do allow people in without pre-booking sometimes.
August 30, 201312 yr comment_167362 I don't think they're trying to be misleading, they're just trying to make sure people don't turn up and have to be turned away once they hit capacity weekend.

September 1, 201312 yr comment_167479 Seems work might have started. Scare Tour have posted this; We hear that a strange new construction has appeared by Nemesis Inferno at THORPE PARK Official. It looks like a bamboo hut with garden lights around it. Is this the first construction for The Blair Witch Project along the old Canada Creek Railway? Does anyone have any pictures? They've been doing a lot of work down there recently so wouldn't surprise me. Plus, having the building by Inferno would work with regards to the film with the only inside part being at the end, and it will drown out the noise of Inferno, because behind BK I expect it's quite quiet and with some work it could make you feel quite secluded. I would also guess then that the entrance will be CCR station and the exit will be through the gates next to where Inferno starts. Secondly, Theme Park guide have posted this today; Noises coming from inside the old 4D cinema Two weeks ago when I was there a few builders were digging up the paving and relaying it which I thought was strange considering it doesn't get used so surely other areas of the park would benefit more from this sort of work. So I can only guess we'll also see something in here. Exciting times!
September 1, 201312 yr comment_167481 I noticed the new paving on my last couples of visits. Personally, I thought it was just over a potential development of the building for future years (maybe bringing back a 4D film next year?), but it would seem early to be doing that admittedly.. It is the perfect place for some sort of attraction though if they can sort the building out. Only time will tell I guess!
September 1, 201312 yr comment_167486 OR, H&S decided the area was unsuitable for guests to be wondering around on as the bricks may have come loose from years of use? I wouldn't look into that much, they just redone a road near me but I'm not expecting a new building to sprout from it.
September 1, 201312 yr comment_167492 https://www.facebook.com/mystic.virgo/posts/615243015163647 The rumours around a maze on the old farm site would appear to be true, cabin in the woods maze sounds good to me http://thorpepark.com/frightnights/?utm_source=FB&utm_medium=FB&utm_campaign=Fright+Nights I am actually now really dissapointed to not be going to thorpe park for fright nights this year, it looks really awesome and like there finally attempting to compete with the like of universal etc on there mazes, if it's good this year I am so going next year

September 2, 201312 yr comment_167513 Pretty sure that's not Thorpe farm in those pictures... The person who took them is American so I would agree
September 2, 201312 yr comment_167515 I'm on park now, I'll look out for progress but I've only been on the Swarm/Stealth side today and there's nothing to report here. I'll post any worthwhile info I see here throughout the day however.
September 2, 201312 yr comment_167516 Just a quick question - did anyone go in The Freezer (before it became Asylum)? If so then what was it like?
September 2, 201312 yr comment_167517 I did. In honesty, I can't remember much of it (I was only 9 or 10 at the time, so naturally spent a lot of the maze with my head buried in the person in front of me's back..) but it was a strange experience. It had a lot of strobes and a focus on weird people who were trapped in the freezer. There was lots of mist to simulate fog and cold and that, and featured the usual chainsaw man at the end. All in all, it was pretty much the same premise as the Asylum. The big difference was it wasn't all just chain link fencing, there were a couple of 'scenes' thrown it too.
September 2, 201312 yr comment_167520 Different style of marketing now? They are using the #summerthrills font
September 2, 201312 yr comment_167523 hmm could this mean Actors on the rides with you so there is no escape?
September 2, 201312 yr comment_167525 hmm could this mean Actors on the rides with you so there is no escape? Well that would reduce throughputs! Saw is incredibly busy as it is without closing off the back row for actors. It would fun but silly tbh.
September 2, 201312 yr comment_167526 Just queued 2 hours for Saw and there was a pile up at the air gates, the last thing they would need at Fright Nights is screaming girls on top of the packed loading bay! There's practically nothing to report in terms of Fright Nights though. Nothing on the beach or in the arena and I could see nothing along the CCR pathway or on the Thorpe Farm site. No advertising either other than a slide on the electroning billboard by Nemesis. EDIT: The lights were on in Asylum but both the entrance and exit doors were bolted shut.
September 2, 201312 yr comment_167527 Just queued 2 hours for Saw and there was a pile up at the air gates, Was the batcher not batching again? (Something that happened on my parents visit yesterday)
September 2, 201312 yr comment_167536 Judging by that phrase on Thorpe's face book, I think it may mean one of the following. 1/ scare actors riding Saw 2/ Actors placed around Saw 3/ Saw will have trains. Going backwards (which may be a lengthily, random and perhaps pointless exercise) 4/ absolutely nothing and just more advertising for the event
September 2, 201312 yr comment_167538 3/ Saw will have trains. Going backwards (which may be a lengthily, random and perhaps pointless exercise) Whiplash.... They better not, I'd rather the also silly idea of actors in the back but I would want that, just actors roaming around.
