I mean playing devils advocate, what would be a good replacement scene? honestly, I can see why they got rid of it as the same effect is technically used earlier in the attraction. I mean maybe not a scare, but I liked the idea of the shop having a 'window' into the platform that you just came from and the train disappearing into a ghostly apparition in a more theatrical ending Maybe not a replacement but its a shame they could of replaced the effect with something that doesn't require a actor or staff, something automatic.

I went on the behind the scenes tour a couple years back and allegedly Thorpe never wanted the fake shop in the retheme because the illusion was already done in the previous iteration, but the guys in charge of the refurb wanted to keep it - so that's what ended up happening. Kept the ending to appease the creatives for the first year (or two I can't remember how long it lasted for) before being removed once it was out of the limelight as the park's newest attraction. I've seen videos of them testing it in the morning, mind you... so never say never. Personally I'd like them to add a new ending to the attraction - because as much as the 'say it, see it, sorted' ending is brilliant - I feel as though it does need one final scare. I thought one final jumpscare after a bit of comedic relief was brilliant because the guests guards were totally let down at that point, but I would be very very surprised if we saw any additions or changes to this attraction before it goes forever. I was pretty certain we wouldn't see Ghost Train come back again this year (tbf I say that every year... unfortunately I do think its on borrowed time at this point), but with Rumba closing and no replacement attraction in the pipeline for the foreseeable future by the looks of things, I think it's pretty safe for now. Once the Rumba replacement is open though, I definitely do think Ghost Train will be the plot of land Thorpe will be eyeing up next. Thorpe - just don't build a coaster there please. I know it's daunting, but give a dark ride another crack when the time comes - I beg. Learn from your mistakes and go for something more traditional this time.

They've done quite a lot in recent years which has collectively improved throughput. - Increased the amount of bag storage - Pretty much always have 4 hosts checking restraints rather than 2 - Pretty much always have someone batching to fill empty seats - Pretty much always on 2 trains - New PLC means all restraints don't have lift all the way up - Queue line announcement with boarding instructions - Boarding instructions/screen before entering the station

It has also been announced that Vampire, the SLC, will close at the end of next year. No replacement has been confirmed, but the park have said they wouldn't close it with nothing in works to replace it.

It's time to get rid of Stealth.
