New series starts tonight guys at 9pm...
It kicks off with a celebrity version tonight... But I'm hoping it will be back to using total fukwits next week...
I'm quite looking forward to it...

Glad it is back. The new set looks identical to the 1990s set, must have used the same architects designs.
Welcome Back Industrial Zone. Good riddance Ocean World, not a time zone really.

Yes it was the same architect. James Dillon. This new set is apparently bigger than the previous one.
Richard O'Brien is 75 now so I doubt he'd be running around like a blue ass fly like he did at 50 in the original series. I was shocked to find he was 50 in 1992, he looked 35.

Glad its back, a pity it has the wrong presenter. I know O'Brien is an old man now but he could adopt a more supervisory role, perhaps oversee the game from a throne in the middle of the Maze? I just don't find Ayoade very interesting at all. Never liked him in the IT Crowd.

Never knew Mumsey in last years special was a different actress to the 1990s one. I thought the same actress but Sandra Coren played her in the 1990s and in 2016 was Maureen Lipman.

Enjoying this. When I heard that Richard Ayowhatdoyoucallhim was hosting I was a bit free-rolleye-smileys-323 but he's good, being a big fan of sarcasm he's making me laugh!
I hope they do another series with members of the public rather than celebs though.

Yes we want Joe Public rather than some of these so called celebrities.

Everyone. What is/was your fave zone out of the 5.
What was your least fave zone?
Here are mine
My fave ever was Industrial.
Least fave is the current future world, it only vaguelly resembles the 1990s one.

Best game show ever is The Crystal Maze.

I am doing a Google Sketchup simulation of The Crystal Maze in the 1990s. One with Industrial and one with Ocean World.
My only drawback with the modern series is Future World is significantly different to the 1990s version.

On again tonight.
The 1990s series was filmed at Hangar 6 of North Weald Airfield in Essex. The hangar nearest the M11 motorway. I went to Blackpool in 1994 as we went to visit The Cyberdrome Crystal Maze as we saw it advertised in a brochure but it did not state that it was not the actual set but an experience and the real set was a disused aircraft hangar in Essex. Back then with no social media we could not research properly.
Ironically I have been past the Essex aircraft hangar many many times.

They currently have two CM experiences in this country... One in Manchester and one in London... The Manchester one is quite a reasonable price at £30 for 8 people to compete... I'm thinking of rounding up a posse and having a go...

Oh and the Manchester one is on the site of the old Roys Rolls...
