Hearing the news about the new destination for Derren Brown's Ghost Train, I'm hoping that they change it to include many more things that relate to the Victorian era. I'm not a fan of the storyline, as it doesn't feel very Derren Brown to me, and it goes against all the advertising it was going up for. I'm hoping they include some new features such as a steam locomotive which was featured in one of the development videos, and also on one of the posters for the ride in the background. If they do, hopefully something like this is done.

SouthParks have reported chessington submitting a planning application to move the carousel to the Market Square area. I'm surprised by this decision, but also welcome it as it is nice to see money being put into the park. However, I was surprised by how much chessington owns, (as the image shows) as I thought it wasn't much more than what the park is now. http://www.southparks.co.uk/2016/08/10/chessington-world-of-adventures-resort-to-install-new-carousel/

Well, my dog just passed away today at 3:15pm after having a seizure. She was 13 years old, going 14. Rest in peace Peggy, thanks for giving me happy memories.

Maybe it is SpinDoctor returning as another form to spread news of washing machine attractions.

I am very interested in the train and would most likely buy one. However, the last time I visited Thorpe was on the friends and family day and the shop wasn't open, so I couldn't register my interest. If thorpe allowed people to register their interest online, I would. It would be a bonus if they were able to post the levitating trains as well as I am not sure whether I would be able to visit thorpe during the rest of this year.

I posted a diagram of how I see the interior of the building will be like, as well as the Victorian carriage being a shell. Here is a link to the page if you are interested in seeing it and maybe build upon the idea. http://forum.maniahub.com/topic/11038-derren-browns-ghost-train-new-for-2016/?page=96#comment-234185

I don't like it how they spoiled the surprise, as such, of showing the actual interior of the Victorian train carriage. Regardless, it looks good and it will be interesting to see how it comes out.

That last rule will be a bit complicated on opening day.

Just a bit of speculation. I met with a friend of mine who said that they know why the delay happened on the ride. Supposedly, a ride vehicle collided against something and as a result caused some damage. They didn't say what the ride vehicle collided against, but that Thorpe are aiming to open the ride in late May. Take it with a pinch of salt, but who knows.

The leaked image also shows that the levitating train carriage is a shell, where most likely the underground train carriages will go into. I can only pressume that you will be held outside the building to the entrance where you board the ride, and are only allowed to enter in certain group numbers. When one of the underground carriages goes into the shell and the passengers disembark, then they will let a group enter the building to board the ride. That is what I think will happen. EDIT: Changed font colour of some of the words to avoid any spoilers.

The photo which was posted on the net with Derren standing at the bottom is photo shopped to have a wall in place there. After brightening up the image, you can see a mistake they made on one of the windows as it is partly straight at the top, and then it curves suddenly and straightens out again. The window is behind the carriage if you want to look it up.

Well, boredom has taken hold of me again, and so I decided to compile a set of images to form a interior view of the attraction through the outside. The quality is crap, which is my mistake, but I will link the images in a future edited post, as I have to go out soon for something. Anyway here is the image I created. Base image is from Total Thorpe Park, and other images are from enthusiasts. The reason why I included the leaked image box, is because it shows a series of supports beneath the carriage, which makes me think that the transfer track goes up towards the levitating carriage. However, due to what thorpe asked before, I won't post it here. Key: Black lines are the track. Red is the transfer track Yellow is the photo locations Blue arrows are the angle from where the photos were taken from

A bit late, but seeing that the ghost train will be delayed, I guess this song is fitting for the occasion.

With recent events, a video came to mind which is quite funny. I guess its a nice way to lighten up the situation of the passing of the celebs.

It appears that the continuation of the most iconic celebrity deaths strikes again. Rest in peace prince. Here's hoping that this will be the last celebrity death to occur in the next few years.

A bit late for thorpe to say that the shop is now open, but at least some more of the theme has been released.

If I remember correctly, the original e-mail said that the draw would take place at mid-night, where people would recieve e-mails shortly afterwards if they won.

I was looking through some photos which were taken by Total Thorpe Park, and I decided to brighten up one of the images where the inside of the building is exposed, where the carriage is. From what I see in the brightened image, it appears that there will be a transfer track system where the underground carriage sits outside the building. From this, I can assume that the system will follow a rectangular track system where there will be a transfer track at either end of the building.

In the general election, I voted for UKIP as I felt that they were the party who dared to challenge things that people were scared to talk about, and deal with issues which the country is facing sensibly. As many know, people kept calling UKIP racist and other tosh like that. I come from abroad (Colombia) and I know how it feels to be targeted because of racism, such as being called a drug dealer and such, so everytime I hear UKIP is racist, I get irritated. Only on one occasion I had to tell a fellow student at university to stop calling UKIP racist, as she raised things that she said was supposedly racist, but were no where near close to being racist, or offensive at that. Just them lot getting their knickers in a twist over something stupid. Sometimes I cannot understand why people cause a uproar over something that shouldn't be taken so heavy. But anyway, enough of that. In regards to the European referendum, I'm voting out. I don't like the control the EU has taken over from the UK and imposed restrictions. Yes there may be benefits such as travelling around europe easily and getting things cheaper, but I don't care about these benefits as the EU is putting people out of work and causing chaos. The steel industry is a example of this, and that is why I will be voting out. Since Jeremy Corbyn has been brought up, I would like to say something about him. He is a good man, I can see that in him. He does things in a way that is admirable. But unfortunately, I don't see it working as effective as it should be. As I said somewhere else, Corbyn feels like he should be in the green party, not the labour party. He is a somewhat softy, in my opinion, and doesn't make a bang as he should be doing in the world of politics. If he were to improve, then I would vote for labour in the future. But for now, I will be sticking with UKIP.

If the posters were old train timetables and other things usually found in victorian times such as beverages and destinations to travel to, I wouldn't mind. But I doubt Victorians had to worry with fracking, and the posters look modern. That is where my issue lies.

I'm glad that building is looking top notch in regards to theming, but I'm not to keen on how they are adding all these posters which for me, ruins the visual understanding that the building is abandoned. I enjoyed the somewhat Victorian appearance of the depot, but I would have preferred if they added these posters inside the building where they cannot be seen from the outside. Regardless, its looking good so far. Will be looking forward to the opening.

This video is quite interesting, and it shows the carriage which is outside the building of some kind of rail system, at 5:35, and a open door.

I'm surprised how no-one has recorded the music of the ride area yet. Anyway, here is a video with some music around the ride area. You can't hear it clearly, but it's better than nothing.

Wasn't expecting it to be that expensive, but I'll still get it anyway. However I hope thorpe sell it online as I don't think I'll be able to go to thorpe again this year and it is a limited edition thing. I remember seeing that the train would be on sale at a later date. Does any know what date that will be?
