I went tonight as well. Really good night with plenty of scares. I managed to do all of the mazes: Cannibal Clowns: Queue line was a bit unorganised, and signage isn't that clear. The maze was pretty basic, least favourite of the night. There were a couple of scares, but nothing to major. A maze more for a bit of fun really. 4/10 Wolf Creek: I thought this maze was the scariest of them all. Every area featured scares. The actors do a good job at hiding within the sets, and when it's almost dark, or there is lightning they really creep up on you. The extra little details such as hanging things off the roof were really good as well. 9-/10 Evil Within: This was the best themed maze, which makes the experience and tension within scenes really good. Having windows for actors to slam on and open were really good. At a couple of points the people in front of me ran though a couple of longer corridors because of the expectation something was going to appear, and it did. 9/10 Ripper: This maze was a surprise. After reading people's comments i wasn't expecting much, but I thought it was a really good maze. The first scene only features a long corridor, where not a lot happens, but then the scares begin. The actors hide behind doors, within the corridors. They run along and jump of crates with a number of scenes. Water sprays you which is a real surprise, and some of the actors come right up to your face. At times we weren't entirely sure which way we needed to turn, but the actors mange to guide you, without getting out of character. There are a couple of obstacles to watch out for, such as crates, which you don't always see. Surprise maze of the night. 7.5/10 Despite tonight being a sell out queues werent too bad. Cannibal clowns was the first one we did and we were only queded for 15 minutes. Wolf creek was 80 minutes. Evil within was 25 minutes. And we did ripper at 10:15 so it was only about 2 minutes. We also managed to get to ride Scooby-doo (the corridor to the left of the main queue area doesn't have the aircon switched on, so it does get quite hot in there. Overall I thought it was a really good night. Features plenty if scares and good theming for the majority of the maxes. If you went on the first weekend, I'd highly recommend going again because it seems like it has improved and the queue lines are quicker, despite a coule not being organised the best. Overall the night was a 8.5/10

Here is a newmap image taken in June, which I found in the "What could Wild be" forum:

^Possibly. Maybe it will use that land and the left part of the reclaimed land.

^Yeah you are correct, but the building shown in this image looks like that is in that area highlighted on the map: Hence, why in my opinion I think that this attraction will be on the reclaimed land.

Looking at google maps, I think that building in the first photo is the one positioned on the lake: Maybe part of the reclaimed land will be used for Creatures from the Deep.

^Obviously. But are many held there?

^If that's the case, maybe the attraction will be instead of Wild. The building in the background is what through me off. I think you could be right. Either it is getting an upgrade or will be where creatures from the deep will be. Does anyone know if that function room is used often?

The theme park social network posted these photos on FB: SW are already advertising the attraction. I can't really tell where this is, but could it link to the attractions location? This appears to be where the inside part of Dinosaur Island was.

^You can do that with the Green Room and RIP as well

For WnW GC it says on the website under 140cm and under the age of 10.

Do you have to put your hands on the person in front shoulders, like you did last year?

^In my opinion I would say that 2016/17 would be when we could expect a replacement.

^I would say that 'attractions' would refer to a new show and/or the 'creatures of the deep' opening next year

^Thanks for that With the ripper maze, is the entire maze bad, or is the theming good and the amount of scares bad? Also, has there ever been a year where all 4 mazes at fright night have been really good?

MW said that there would be plenty of Fright Night firsts. Besides the mazes and tours are there any other changes or firsts?

Good to hear last night was more of a success. Excluding the first night would people say this is their least favourite fright night? When I drove past last night the car park was full, so if queues were only around 40 minutes, they have obviously fixed the issues from the first night.

There is plenty of shade throughout the park, there just wasn't enough around the wave pool. I'm also surprised it wasn't down a few years ago.

I agree, but remember that it has taken WnW GC 30 years to add shelter for the day lounges around the wave pool.

I remember last year I was queued for an 1.5hr for the hillbilly maze. And 30 minutes for evil dead. When it comes to fast pass, there should be a limit on how many they sell because otherwise there ends up being no point in it. Spending money to line up in a queue almost or as long as the non-paid queue is pointless.

I'm reading posts on FB saying that people have been queued in lines for 1.5 hours. Some people are finding they that they will only be able to do 1 maze so far.

I'm not surprised that SW are getting an attraction like this. A replacement of Dinosaur Island sounds most likely. They might construct a new building on the outdoor section of Dinosaur Island since it isn't used anymore. From what I can remember and I could be mistaken, but the building used for Dinosaur Island wasn't that big for this attraction. On another note: The SpongeBob Parade is finishing on the 10th October. The characters will still be a part of the park.

When I ride it I only feel pain on my thighs once we pull into the station and then once the bar is released its fine.

I'd rather have saw legs thighs/groin for a couple of minutes than have a headache and saw ears for 30 minutes.

^No one knows. Wild could happen, but after SW delaying it from Summer 2014, to 2015 and now we haven't heard anything. I'm not feeling confident that it will happen. Time will tell. In my opinion I'm expecting SW to open/announce a new attraction/ride next year.

In people's opinions what have been the best mazes at Fright Nights?
