^ Only 2 cars for the pull through. When opened it will have 5 or 6 cars i should imagine.

& To answer your second question, the logo/designs for the cars have not been applied yet. I believe it is a joint effort between Intamin/Tussaud Studios this time.

Yeah pretty bad. Even if it was better quality, it still wasnt as good as alot of others ive seen, the onride thing was the bad part. Other wise it was quite good. The station layout is the same as Ritas isnt it?

^Yes, it really does. Since the pic is kind of blurry, are the light shining on it on the ground or on the ride or both?

There is a light rig set up at the base of the top hat.
Basically there's one main light shining up onto the track, with coloured filters which change from purple -> green -> blue at timed intervals.


EDIT:

Short video to show some of the sequence:

They are them lights that move up and down the ride shining up on it from the floor apparently. BTW if anyone else is going, Hell gate is supposed to be better than the asylum maze. Just a tip, Hell gate is more pshycologically scary i heard.

Im going soon so YAY i wll get a video of fright nights, although i dont think im going in the mazes as tbh im just going to ride the coasters in the dark! [:D]

YAY you can actually see stealths height in this picture! [:D] thanks for that link Dragon! [:D]

EDIT: YAY ive been waiting for adz to update his site. He has an awesome mini site about fright nights connected to his normal site. Heres a link to the gallery of the mini site:

[:)] Cant wait to go [:)]

EDIT AGAIN: Ooooo i just heard another review about the asylum maze, and Hell gate. Apparently they are really freaky. The actors are allowed to grab you and stuff this year, and apparently they dont hold back. They poke you, push you (not to hard though) pull you and everything. They stalk you too, YAY. But the chain saw man has gone. [:(]

Wow, Dragon2000, taht pic is wonderful, and you can see Stealth in it.

JPE, that guy with all those slips on his face looks really creepy. I can't judge on how good halloween events are, as I have never been to one, as I never seem to have the time around October.
