From theme park guide - great to see its popular!!
-
^ does show of the level of detail which has gone in to this thing - when on the ride you don't get much chance to appreciate how realistic that train in the station looks!

The same issue is present on Zufari - great to see some progress!
Does anyone know if the attraction is running on full capacity at the moment?
Aslong as there is enough guests waiting after the final photo point (which there always is) - they make no difference atall to the through puts.
Not sure if it's on full capacity but if it isn't it manages to eat through a queue fairly well!
-
Timed tickets were in use through out its first soft openings too.
Theyve extended opening of the coasters to 6:30 it's fairly busy!
-
I can't see them getting rid of Saw the ride just yet!
A woodie was proposed when they were planning saw but they went for Saw - to be fair to them it's been very successful!
we have a topic here where you can post exactly what you would do if you was in charge!

^yeah im not sure if the current lay out would be able to handle standing trains without serious work.
That said would love to maybe see the new Intamin trains on it with lap bars!

As people know - as the official fansite we have a close working relationship with the park - the park have kindly requested that the secrets behind how the ride functions are not spilt during this testing period and we respect that. I encourage people to discuss their experiences but will request that major spoilers such as how the ride system works etc are not posted here during this rehursal period
Feel free to PM me if you wish to discuss this.

I do understand it, very well in fact. My point is that thorpe have asked if we could please not go round telling everyone how it works etc, at least until it is fully open, working and everyone's ridden it.
No more to add - We cant stop the discussion about it but the park have kindly requested the secrets of the attraction are not revealed - this is especially more reverent during the rehearsal stage before the official launch of the ride
-
Hope you enjoy it!!
-
^Indeed - Thorpe have asked for the secrets to be kept secret for now even more so before the ride has officially opened - please respect this
-
The general public's reaction to this thing has been immense - its not very often guests in the UK will break out into applause at the end of a ride but they really do seem to be loving it.
I always thought a large scale dark ride would be a gamble for which ever Merlin park took it on but am delighted it seems to be getting such high praise from the GP.
-
It shutdown at around 2pm but has just reopened to a huge queue - fair play to them
-
They just said it should hopefully reopen soon
-
-
The park are keen for riders of the tech rehearsals to not spoil any surprises for non riders
-
-
Just a reminder now the attraction has started to open please ensure you use the spoiler topic http://forum.maniahub.com/topic/11243-spoilers-derren-browns-ghost-train/
The park has requested the secrets are not split during the rehearsals - please respect this!

They are still tweeting people saying they are hoping it will open today
-
Of course its worth remembering these are Technical Rehearsals - there are no guarantees it will be open and some things may still need fine tuning but we are getting closer!
-
Ghost Train is planned to open today to all for Technical Rehearsals and all going well will continue over the weekend
If your lucky enough to get on please remember not to spoil the secrets for others!!

^ impossible to tell - will have to see what next couple of days bring.

Merlin are not trying to compete with the likes of helix, baron etc.
Of course our parks could be better, but Merlin obviously invest in them the amount money to keep them at a bar which Merlin want them to be at - as a small minority of their customers I personally don't feel it's up to us to decide that their business decisions are right or wrong - Merlin need to aim to please the core of their audience and they do that successfully.

Saw it had 3 members of staff at the entrance so if it didn't open it was close to!
