Fright Nights 2013


Confuzzled

Recommended Posts

Sorry, I'm visiting with my friend next Sunday and was hoping to use the Tesco Clubcard vouchers? I just wanted to check that this is ok as we don't want to end up not being able to get into the park! Will it just be like how you use them usually, scanning the print-off voucher on the turnstiles or will we have to get some extra ticket like the AP holders do?

I don't like the fact that they are using the same fences as last year and on MBV and the fact that it looks like a cattlepen queue. I know its easier to have these fences but I would much rather if there were more 'decorative fences' in a cool layout. I hope they at least decorate the fences for fright nights because they don't look very attractive...

Even banners that just say "THORPE PARK FRIGHT NIGHTS!" would be an improvement...

One of the main reasons why I'd like to see the park get permanent fences at the entrance, because it looks dire... Legoland have started doing it as well and it doesn't give a great first impression...

Isn't this an ample moment to shout 'cost-cutting'?

You have to remember, there's going to be hundreds of thousands of people brushing past these fences, holding on to the sides, swaying them back and forward. The only way you'll be able to get a themed fence that is durable enough to withstand this is if its cemented in, and the theming made a permanent fixture. And we all know this isn't an option, as the arena for example is used at other times.

I would definitely say its more of a practicality issue rather than a cost one. Its not exactly cheap to buy that type of temporary fencing (that's if they even own it, it could be rented?). I think its just one of those facts of life that you have to accept.

As for the entrance, its been agreed a long time that Thorpe hate the fencing, but there's no point making a permanent fixture if they're going to rebuild the entire entrance when the hotel finally gets built.

Talking of that. I found this on twitter.

Scroll down to the work time one it shows this years entrance.

To be honest if those fences were painted black then they would look much less tacky.
