My prediction is that it'll be deemed "BEST DARK RIDE IN THE WORLD" for a few weeks; then some key effects will break, not be repaired and will slowly get mothballed until it closes forever.

Never gonna be the best dark ride, this definitely going to be Thorpe Dungeons. After this, Thorpe doesn’t need any more experience led or actor led attractions. Physical ride hardware purely

I think that maybe they could go down the route of you 'dying' somewhere in the ride and then being 'rebirthed' later on. Then the shop scene could maybe be some kind of thing when there's a total denial that anything ever happend on the train with you 'dying' and stuff. You're about to walk out then a ghost appeares acting as a jumpscare and also mentioning something about what happend when you were 'dead' and adding extra detail maybe. leaving the ride on a cliffhanger. I hope some of that makes some sense...

My predictions are: - Heavily similar to dungeons, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same team. - Layout the same, lack of a screen based preshow in favour of actors. Floating carriage gone and just the same shell throughout. - I still don’t know how they are going to do that room with the massive space underneath - Onboard there won’t be any smoke due to extraction of the smoke, it will become hotboxed quite quickly. So effects fairly limited, lighting sequence, 3D sound effects, maybe leg ticklers…. - I would have hoped for screens as windows however we are going to get some blacklight and some UV paint. - Basically the train will be like The Curse At Alton Manor Preshow. - The experience will be less rushed, so the tube station scene may have some graffiti but there are going for more an erie experience. - Scare maze portion could be massive, you’d think related to the grave yard. - I have no idea why you would get back on the train again but as we know you do. - Train scene has similar effects as to what I mentioned above. - Fake shop will still act as a big finale with a scare of sorts. Definitely a one time experience ride, no matter how good it is. I think people will come off saying yeah it’s good but I’ve done it now. Improvement over DBGT, but with what the setup is, you can only improve so much. As if the VR had worked 100% time, I believe DBGT would have been received the same. The detail outside makes me hopeful for this ride, it being fully dependent on actors doesn’t and I don’t think it’s going to become a key part of my day at the park.
