    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?

    The I Feel Happy Topic!

    I got a job, so yeah, that's good, also teachers strike tomorrow, so no sixth form, and also scarefest, so a good week all in all :)

    CBeebies Land

    Re: 2014: CBeebies Land I have mixed opinions on this, mostly because Merlin have done this kind of thing before. First teaming with Lionsgate for Saw: The Ride and maze, then FrightNights this year, and Madagascar. Personally, I know that a lot of the shows on Cbeebies are popular in many...

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Re: Thorpe Park Finally did Fright Nights, a week late it would seem... Here goes: Saw Alive: Nothing changed - disappoint. However, they'd put a few more actors in, and in new places, so it was less predictable than before. But, and this is the biggest but, we waited AN HOUR AND TWENTY...

    Chessington World of Adventures Resort

    I've noticed it somewhat, but I feel like some areas of the park are more neglected than others... However I do remember being very happy when I saw they were making over Toy Town because that place looked so run down Don't get me wrong, I love Chessie, that place is my childhood, I'm a big...

    Chessington World of Adventures Resort

    Is that the one we listen to in the car when it gets dark? Also, I happen to think its wonderful Chessie are spending money; however, I wish they would have spent the money on something more important... Like making certain areas of the park look nicer, because places like Transylvania and...
