 Park News - (10/1/2026) In a fascinating move, Thorpe Park will introduce their first Fright Nights related attractions… OUTSIDE OF THE THEME PARK this year. On a sad note, this will be a one-night only offering, on the evening of Saturday, Oct. 3rd, Thrope Park will send out the “Nova Lux Express”, a blacked out bus experience that will expand the story being told at this years Tenement maze by transporting a limited number of passengers from the Staines Railway Station to Nova Lux Senior Living… the structure at the heart of the Tenement story.
I’ve got to say that I really like this idea… but unfortunately only 14 passengers will be selected at a time for the experience that will depart hourly from 14:00 to 17:00 on a first-time basis, and you must already have tickets to Fright Nights at Thorpe Park and the Tenement haunt to qualify for the Nova Lux Express experience!
If you go, I’ve got to hear about it… at least if you make it back and can tell the tale!

(9/2/2026) Thorpe Park will open a very fun sounding pitch-black scare maze experience this season for Fright Nights 2026. According to this report the attraction is called Tenement, and it will be a fully immersive pitch-black environment themed as an abandoned building where the power has failed, and all the tenants have mysteriously vanished. Guests will be sent into the dark maze of a building outfitted only for a shared hand-held flashlight that will gradually begin to fail the further into the maze you go. As the darkness begins to take you and you can no longer see, your other senses will take over just as you realize you are not alone and that there is something else lurking in the darkness nearby.
Check out the great trailer below as well… It gives off serious creepy vibes that remind me of the “REC” and “Quarantine’ film series.
2026 - The Launchpad - (2/23/2026) Blooloop confirms that Thorpe Park will be replacing the Amity Beach water play area with a new “recharge zone” that will be called The Launchpad. It’s just a place for guests to relax and recharge in-between ride experiences throughout the day, and will feature both places to sit and rest as well as food kiosks.
