Yeah that will be broken after the press event or switched off because a tree will set alight.
 

I love how this is Merlins 'most expensive attraction' to date, and yet staff have to bang on walls just to keep guests/riders from getting bored. 

Hi guys, let me just start off by saying this is my first time posting on here but bare with me as I've been doing some poking around for info on Platform 15. After going to Thorpe Park yesterday (September 30th) I've seen a few things regarding the new 2016 horror maze. The entrance is next to Samurai where the Canada Creek railway used to run past, there is an entrance to a long, black tunnel that is coated with a black tarp. After going on Colossus twice I can confirm it goes all the way back past Saw and Logger's Leap, takes a right turn into the trees around the back of Loggers and that's where the tunnel ends. After going on Saw 3 times in a row I am certain that the tunnel ends as it enters the trees near the place where the camera for Saw is positioned. The black tunnel is only 2 or 3 meters wide so I'm not too sure what to expect from there. After scouting outside Samurai (which was closed and testing all day yesterday) for around 30 mins we saw some staff wheeling a costume rail covered with a black tarp around. When looking underneath all that could be seen was some black and red cuffs at the ankle area of the trousers (relates back to the advert, conductor perhaps) there was also another member of staff carrying a sealed briefcase, can't give anything else other than that I'm afraid. The exit is next to the Canada Creek toilets and the railway track so my best guess is that it runs around loggers leap and through the trees. The exit (not surprisingly knowing Thorpe Park) is a shipping container. Some wood was being cut on a table saw in the creek railway station yesterday as well (presumably for Blair Witch) and from the exit of Nemesis you can see the hut at the end. Please see the images attached. That's all I could see. More coming soon! Thanks for reading my first post!

I'm all for theming, and I guess it looks good, but its sad to see a piece of history covered in graffiti =[

They've added theming? I just assumed that's what it looked like after not being used for years...

For that to be possible Chessington would need to actually have a project and or budget to cut from. Seeing as their annual budget is about £1

Got 2 rides on Ghost Train yesterday, each time I'm going on it I'm enjoying it more, however that 2nd VR section is still bollocks.
 
Operations towards the end of the day were incredibly poor, our group was held up in the area between the pre show and the ride for about 10 minutes, and by the time we got in the train so many people were put in in one go that the operators struggled to find everyone a seat, it was a bit of a mess.
 
One old guy attempted to sit on the floor as a form of protest but the operators were having none of it as there was definitely a free seat somewhere.
 

Wouldn't it be funny if this attraction is closed on the second AP Night, which has been devised specifically for this attraction! 

And what a wonderful twelve years it has been. 
 

The ghost train potentially being shut on the event to make up for the ride being shut?
 
The ride's biggest illusion is clearly it's availability.
