Thorpe Park Resort· 2018 — present
Fright Nights
Music for multiple scare attractions and for the park itself after dark — every coaster station, dispatch and island re-scored for October.

Fright Nights is not one commission but a park-wide re-score. For the 2018 season Nick wrote new audio for the ride stations and dispatches — Stealth's launch, Nemesis Inferno, Colossus — alongside the ambient beds for the Dome, the Bridge, the Jungle, Old Town and the Lost City.
The brief for park audio in a scare event is unusual: it has to raise the resting heart rate of a guest who is not currently being scared, across an entire evening, without ever becoming the thing they notice. The dispatch cues do the opposite job — short, loud and precisely timed to a ride system.
The season closes on its own cue. Park Close music was written to move tens of thousands of people towards an exit while keeping the atmosphere intact.
