    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    Your apologies have been noted. I just personally feel that there are more important issues than a maze. And I know many others agree. Many people are ridiculed and stigmatized, but I happen to think this happens far more in real life and online than in theme parks. Surely, if we're all going to...

    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    Then maybe she should go and do more, because apparently when I struggle at school due to my mental health issues, they kick me out instead of helping. Which is far more damaging than a stupid maze. So politely, please be quiet.

    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    I highly doubt this was about people's suffering, I think this was a way for someone to cause a fuss over very little. If miss Katie really wanted to help, she'd be out there changing the views of schools and workplaces when it comes to mental health. Instead, she preys on a large company and...

    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    I have very little problem with anything, when it is an unrealistic portrayal of something, and never claims to be one. Please tell me, in which part of the maze, it attempts to be anything like an asylum. Because I went through it, and I don't think it really tried to be anything like that...

    TST Film Review Thread

    We're gonna disagree on this, I thought Salo was an utterly dire waste of my time. None of it made my stomach turn, the prosthetics were so fake, I didn't believe any of it. I'd watch A Serbian Film with its far more hidden messages over this any day. I'd recommend AntiChrist if you're looking...

    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    So, I'm guessing you want to ban all films and tv shows based in asylums then? Since they are artistically also using this cruelty for the entertainment of others? If we're going to prey on one thing for this reason, then lets not leave out the rest. That would be discrimination. I'm sorry, but...

    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    I'm sorry, but I don't see where they aim to go with this? Go and raise money and awareness, help people with mental health issues with support and care. This whole 'campaign' was a pathetic attempt to make the critics look like saviours of mental health, and Thorpe/Merlin look like the evil...

    TST Film Review Thread

    Eyes Without A Face I finally got around to watching this, and I was not disappointed. As a black and white film, released in 1959, there were definitely limitations with make up and special effects. And when a film is about a doctor removing girls' faces and transplanting them onto his...

    Teach Me Something!

    I'm just going to agree with everyone about their descriptions, got a great giggle. All I know is that if anyone wants you to go to some unknown park somewhere in the UK, you're probably going to have a lot of Pinfari. My back still hasn't recovered from Scotland, although the bruise I had has...

    The Smiler - General Discussion

    Am I surprised they've had problem after problem? No. Let's look at Saw, for example (simply because its another one Merlin have had issues with, and manufactured by Gerstlauer) which has had several issues, parts of track dropping due to subsidence, down-time (even last year for Fright Nights...

    Game of Thrones

    Season 3 episode 9 - The day I died on the inside. I plan on rewatching all three seasons (minus above mentioned episode) just before season four starts

    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    Oh no, haven't you heard? They aren't OFFENDED, its supposedly DAMAGING... Yeah, damaging to teenage girls who have a panic attack at the end. There are bigger issues to do with MH than a maze at Thorpe. End of.

    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    By Thorpe? Why would they do that? I know all press is good press, but people are calling to have the maze shut down

    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    Haha, what a beautiful name you've given her. What makes me angry is the fact that they refuse to acknowledge the people who disagree completely, I must have tweeted five or six times and not once have I had a reply. Its not as if they have bothered to say 'excuse me Mr Thorpe, your maze The...

    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    I don't hate people with mental health problems, because that would be very hypocritical, but I do hate the fact that the people 'defending' people with MH issues tend to end up being more cruel. One twitter account is using '"scary mental patient" horror maze' instead of calling it The Asylum...

    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    Personally, as someone with family members with serious mental health issues, and myself also having mental health issues, I find the way people respond to things far more offensive or damaging than a scare maze or a film. When even teachers cannot understand the struggles I have, that is more...

    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    Surely, if we're going to get technical about it, there are hundreds of films that should also be banned in that case. For example, the brilliance that is Psycho, as it deems those mentally ill to be psychotic maniacs with dual personalities. Texas Chainsaw Massacre would also have to be banned...

    The Asylum "offensive to the mentally ill"

    I've never done this maze before, but what a ridiculous thing to comment on. And there is no way to protest the stupidity because there aren't any comment buttons on the article or petition. Some people irritate me beyond belief, if you don't like it, then don't go through it. Seriously.

    TS Scarefest Meet: 19-20 October 2013

    'Uncharacteristically shy' - Well, there were lots of people and I only knew you :P Anyway, I would like to thank Will for putting up with me all weekend, again. I would also like to thank whoever arranged the Q&A with Pete, and Pete for making time to talk to us, it was a new experience for me...

    TS Scarefest Meet: 19-20 October 2013

    I have been unable to get the Freedom Pass for the mazes, due to not having any money until today, what slot should I choose for the combi maze tickets?
