FRIGHT NIGHT’s is only 12 days away from the Annual Pass preview night and the park is continuing to get ready for the event. Signs have been added to Studio 13 to the entrance and exit with a banner / sign being built sounding the maze.

Following problems with the ride at the start of the 2014 season Safari Skyway is to be closed for the remainder of the year. The ride hasn't been open for a few weeks with a permanent looking sign put on the gate telling guests that the ride wouldn't be opening today.

For the past few years Miss Hippo’s Fungle Safari has been SBNO (standing but not operating) however it looks like all of that could be changing very soon! The ride was never taken out and the theming for the ride is still in place and can be seen below.

Work for Thorpe Parks biggest event Fright Nights is now well underway with mazes being constructed all over the park.

Starting Friday 24th October 2014 Chessington is launching its rebranded halloween event called “Howl’O’Ween” Previously known as Halloween Hocus Pocus the event will play host to 2 scare mazes and 2 brand new shows for 2014.

LEGOLAND Windsor has announced that LEGO Friends will be a new area for 2015, after there plans to the council to build a haunted house were denied.

Tonight Thorpe Park Resort have launched a brand new micro site for the up and coming Fright Nights event with all the information about this years line up. Replacing The Asylum is Studio 13 a brand new horror maze based on a audition for a new movie called The Motel.

With Fright Nights 2014 not far away the park is hard at work marketing the event with posters being put up all over the park advertising the mazes and sub events such as face it alone and vip tours of the mazes.

In its 8th year, Alton Towers Resorts ‘Scarefest” event is set to be the best and scariest to date.

Work on Thorpe Park’s next roller coaster / attraction looks set to start soon as work on the island next to The Swarm and behind Stealth looks to have had some work done to it recently. As shown on the map below the island is quite large meaning that this could possibly host a decent length.
