A preliminary studio plan for the original first series of The Crystal Maze has recently surfaced. The initial plan shows the difference between the final version. You can see that Zones are shaped differently - even the Crystal Dome is linked differently! Open up all the images bigger for a closer look.
Aztec Zone was called "Jungle Zone" in early ideas. The first series was filmed at Shepperton TV studios, before relocating to a massive aircraft hangar at North Weald, Essex from Series two onwards. (The hangar remains today).

The Crystal Maze Fan blog have recently acquired a similar studio plan showing the final studio version that we all know and love. It's huge - 63 inches! We will blog about that plan soon. We are excited to now be the proud owners of that valued piece of TV Memorabelia. Crystal Maze fans, you will like our next blog post...
