I bet Derren felt the same way.

Sums up the ride quite well surely?
 
No one else on it, badly acted scare elements and intermittent VR headset working.

Maybe they can save Rocky Express and Apocalypse.

I request that should TCaAM be 'better' than Phantom Manor by an unknown metric as yet to be determined by myself; @MattyMoo be banned.

I mean its just concept art there. The final product might look as dark and dingy as your local station's Pumpkin Cafe/Costa/Nero.

Year isn't too surprising, would've known the contract was ending and the likelihood of renewal was zero.
 
From the sounds of it they'd got Derren on board after the choice of system & VR inclusion, and probably means a lot of butting heads between those involved in the design. I'd imagine Derren could easily design an interesting attraction at first stage rather than having to work around the system in question. Resulting in the confused final product.
 
I mean they can't do any worse? But if it's going to be actor led again Metlin don't have the best record of the quality or consistency of those.

You'd hope that changing to a Merlin attraction would be done by their big in-house design team (even if they used to charge far more than external contractors for... reasons?) over the in-park entertainment mob.
 
Hopefully consideration for the long term is the big push there. Or at least making things at Thorpe that last slightly more than 2 years before it gets cut to pieces and mothballed.

Look's like someone has pressed the button too early on the Thorpe Park official site 😱

Silkstone's Ghost Train.
 
Try and keep up with the YouTube algorithm with the finale demon replaced by an apology video jumpscare.
 
Will probably just be that they've lost the IP (as much as it was) and being renamed with the NUMEROUS references to Derren Brown being removed. 

Who are these people though? Do they exist? Are they like Secret Tories?
 
The usual ones I see on forums are either keeping quiet or don't have anything to add on things going on. Usually get a few but if it's all theme park Twitter stuff then count me out.
 
There's literally no public knowledge beyond now a poster with a girl and some dolls heads. It really feels like many are putting 2+2 together and getting 5 because they want it to be rather than it actually is.
 
As a result, the designers love to tease people in such a manner. Especially with little nods and hints to the past like referencing Sparks in the poster. Riles up the goons no end.
 
I dunno. Maybe it's just me getting old and being open to whatever shenanigans happen inside rather than deciding early on it'll be a certain thing and clinging to it.
 
Would laugh if the ghost girl referenced in the posters was called anything else but Emily though. 
 
It COULD be a reference. Not it is. I still wonder why they would use a side joke that a number of visitors didn't even see and that only enthusiasts know the full story of (not that there even IS a story, it's a ghost girl who lives in a doll house and has a white cat, here endeth the tale).
 
I must be getting old and ranty. Maybe I'm becoming a Tory?

Is your confidence in this less than or more than your confidence in Rocky Express returning or Forbidden Tomb returning?
 
It is entirely possible you are correct, but don't claim you're somehow a knowledge on this because you've simply followed other people's speculation.

Instructions unclear, hope I did it right.

Kill it with fire.

No cat in the promo art.
 
Therefore no Snowy.
 
Maybe that's why the ghost girl is annoyed; like John Wick but ghosts and houses. Keep the blasters and its an easy connection. 
 
 
Look I can jump to random conclusions too!
 
 
Towers might need to get a priest in soon though. 3 cursed rides now. Plus an alien with a clutch of eggs. Plus In The Night Garden. Horrifying.

You don't find cursed rides at the UK's thrill capital for this exact reason...

That was a really humdinger on a marketing stunt, left everyone on the edge of their seats.
