The Nation's Thrill Capital, THORPE PARK has unveiled plans for its premier Halloween event, Fright Nights, which, for the first time, will be presented with Lionsgate UK - one of the world's leading global entertainment companies.
The chilling and thrilling event, which will take place over selected weekends in October/November, and across October Half Term, will be the Park's biggest in 12 years of scaring, and will present terrifyingly entertaining scare experiences based on some of Lionsgate UK's most iconic and award-winning horror films.
Visitors will be able to experience immersive, live-action horror attractions based on You're Next, the upcoming must see summer horror movie, being released in cinemas on 30 August 2013; cult classic The Blair Witch Project; the dark My Bloody Valentine 3D, the twisted The Cabin in the Woods and not forgetting the menacing SAW, already the inspiration for the world's most terrifying rollercoaster and live action horror maze at the Park.
Jason Wills, THORPE PARK Marketing Director, commented, "We are hugely excited about this partnership with Lionsgate. Fright Nights promises to be horrifically immersive, yet entertaining. A team of specially-trained scare actors is being recruited to deliver what will undoubtedly be the UK's premier Halloween event - near London, without the need to go to Florida"
Guy Avshalom, COO, Lionsgate UK, "We are delighted to be partnering with THORPE PARK particularly following the success of our collaboration on the world's first horror movie themed rollercoaster SAW - The Ride and live action horror maze, SAW Alive. The mix of the Park's world-class rollercoasters and our acclaimed horror films will be a surefire win with thrill seekers and horror fans alike".
In addition to the live action horror attractions, visitors will be able to experience some of Europe's most exhilarating rollercoasters in the dark. Visitors to Fright Nights will be able to face rides in the dark including THE SWARM, the UK's first winged rollercoaster, which guests can now brave backwards, Stealth, one of Europe's fastest and tallest rollercoasters, Colossus, a ten loop rollercoaster and Nemesis Inferno, a feet-free, legs-dangling coaster experience, as well as SAW - The Ride, all in the dead of night and all included in the Park entry price.
Plus for the first time, guests will be able to 'stay and scream', in THORPE PARK's new onsite accommodation, The Crash Pad, which opened this Spring.
