Take a look behind the curtain of one of Thorpe Park Fright Nights most iconic mazes: The Big Top. Featuring never before seen footage, untold stories and unreleased audio.
For the first time in four years Jack Silkstone brings together the original creators of the iconic horror maze to discuss it’s creation, failures and successes. Right from the 2015 version of The Big Top located on Amity Beach through to the fan favourite 2017 iteration of the maze.
The original team behind The Big Top discuss how the maze came to be. Along with discussing many stories from the mazes creation and construction period. As well as the possibility of the maze making a return in the future.

I would love to see this return for 2024. Time constraints might not allow it now but it would be epic The Big Top: Carnies Revenge or something like that would be sick. Maybe do a creek freak unchained with the clowns! Ive watched this documentary so many times, even 2 years later, this is epic!

What a documentary, what a maze, what a time to have experienced it! Not a year goes by where I don't miss this iconic attraction. The production of this video is incredible. You and Kieran are constantly improving and never fail to impress me with your super talent. Thank you for bringing this to us you utter utter legend!

I have so much respect for Thorpe Park and the team behind Big Top for sticking with it after a disappointing launch. It'd be so easy to just dump it, but by sticking with it, Thorpe produced an absolute masterpiece for 2016 and 2017, and full credit to everyone who pulled together to produce the attraction we all came to know and love

This was my absolute favourite ever maze… I was gutted when it left. Even hearing the music makes me sad it’s not there anymore 😞 it was just awesome!! I’m still really excited for Fright Night this year but I’m still a little sad…

What would be awesome is if you could do one of these but based on the swarm, where we could get a creative look into behind the ride, the planning, the design aspects etc. get some info into like what’s in a contract (maintenance etc) any concept art etc. would be really awesome.

I wasn't actually asked for permission for you using my footage of The Big Top, you have just ripped it from my channel without asking which is very off. I enjoyed the documentary but I would have appreciated you having the courtesy to ask first before taking my footage to use on what is no doubt a monetised video.

@TheJackSilkstone 2 жыл бұрын

I very much apologise for this. Ordinarily I would absolutely ensure to seek permission before using anyone’s footage. It was purely down to lack of time that I let this slip. I’ll make sure to learn from this moving forwards though, thanks for pointing out my mistake.
