Yeh i know its 10 months early but i just want to give a quick review.
I arrived with 3 mates at about 1pm, traffic was invisible and a normal 45 minute trip was wittled down to halfan hour. After my friends paid 24 quid for a ticket to get in and i paid a tenner on a really random ticket i got off a mate we began the usual walk across the bridge which manages to make you see all the major rides in one look ie. nemisis inferno, collussus and tidal wave and of course samurai - (Recently moved from chessington world of adventures). As a thorpe park addict you start to realise that Thorpe Park isnt the safest place when its open at night. Anyhow back on with the review- i started off with lunch at KFC which at that time on a fright nite was empty as the park is only 1/4 full at about 10 to 1pm. A tip i would give is to get to the park as early as you can get in all the rides and just try tidal wave at the end of the day. After eating a ringer burger jumping on to inferno we got onto the rumba rapids where fun was had by all.
Then it got to get dark....Gangs of teenagers roam the park along with security and police but mainly CSO's and the odd man in riot gear outside the freezer....
What is the freezer you ask?
Allow me to begin....As we strode up prepared for a 2hr que we were given an ultra-violet hand scan to check we hadn't already been on and joined the que. Halfway through the que which leedsaround the unused kiddys stage is a lovely wax model of a dead man with guts and bones where normally Freddy Fox presents the play on sharing with friends.
After about 1 and a half hrs we came up a got in lines of 2 to 5. By this time i was practically peeing myself and made sure i was in the middle. We all thought the 'actors' in theere would be in cages. The trauma has left me shaking while i write this.
We entered into a long white corridor and a poster of a blood spattered arrow pointed us into the maze. We entered the dimly lit maze with only strobe lighting to guide us. We were guided around the maze holding onto each others tops as directed by staff. By now there was an air raid siren going off and random screams. All 4 of us walked STRAIGHT into a mirror and screams were shouted all about.
We then turned a corner and found our first actor, he was swinging a chain and had a blood splattered shirt he then said ''im going to F****ing kill you".
We needed to walk past him so quickly trotted past onto our next actor. A cackling women who snuck up behind us, by this time i was whimpering like a girl....She chased us towards a fire exit but after she saw what could happen she kind of ran in the right direction....
We followed her and came to the image that haunts our mind as we turned round the corner a type of lookey-likey off that bloke with the spikes coming out of his knuckles and he exclaimed ''im gona f****ing stab you in the heart'' i ran and ran until i had actually lost my freinds and just stood there will they caught up. Then as we saw a couple of last actors and had to walk through hanging 'dead bodies' an actor jumped out and said 'feeling a bit sqeamish?'. This was the one actor who i laughed in his face. Then the last two actors one completely egg head man that slowly walked towards me with good effect of strobe lighting and a trickle of blood from his head (gun shot wound). And then the chainsaw man, he was at the end so had a chair to rest on they had replaced the blade with a plastic one so you could really 'smell' the petrol. And as we were walking down the corridor which we thought was all over he managed to creep up behind us and pull it one last time. I ran straight past the whole que whimpering like a girl and a bunch of CSO's burst out laughing. :@
I want to give the circue de freak who provided the actors a big :eusa_clap
And strongly recomended the high-ish price for going there!
