I am either planning on visiting This Saturday or next Monday, are school trips still likely for next Monday? I am unsure which day to choose
Next week will still have school strips so Saturday would be the better day. 7pm close on Saturday too

Not sure how representative it is but all the schools i know around here (South East) are breaking up this Friday so will possibly be a mix of school trips AND school holidayers

I’ve moved a number of not-irrelevant but largely off topic posts.
Please continue any discussion about seat belts on rapids rides in this new thread.
Thanks!

Website confirms a new maze, with all the others still advertised. I do hope they give trailers a face lift non the less…
Have we seen that office in the bottom image before? That could be a hint for the marketing campaign

Interestingly though, opening times are listed as 10am-9pm. Didn't Fright Nights use to be a 10pm close?
It’s been 9pm for a while now. Think it was reduced during covid and never went back.

Has been 9PM for the past five years or so. Should be 10, really.
That "from new heights... comes new lows" tagline is terrible! It might have been better with a depiction of an underworld of some sort on the graphic? Not a spooky office.

Unconfirmed rumours that it’s Merlin’s new motto.

"New lows" = Digging a hole. Back to the John Wardley playbook of building attractions, I see.That 'new lows' tagline seems to hint at a new maze set underground.
"Ok John, we want to do something new. Where do we start?"
"Have you thought about digging a hole?"
"We're on an artificial island John, there's nothing underneath us."
"Fine. Here's what you do. You get lots of material and build up a mound..."
"This sounds a bit better!"
"...and then you dig a hole!"

I’m guessing the new maze will go where black mirror was as that’s where work had happened recently.
I think hyperia will probably see some kind of scare zone or something as well. Then I guess everything else from last year will return, with the three old mazes, entertainment area near ghost train, high school thing near Stealth and the other scare zones returning.

Yep completely goes against their ethos of “open, honest and unapologetically authentic park”Criticism hurts apparently.
It reminds me of the 2016 -2019 period of where the only opinion that mattered to the park was vloggers / influencers/ mates of staff.

Big shame. I always thought it was a great way to see updates which the general public wouldn't necessarily be interested in, and also a great way for them to get and interact with feedback.
I did notice since Hyperia had opened it had been a lot less active, with them replying to less and less comments etc..
