It's fine, all the anti-fracking posters have been pulled away from people bored in the queue line.

 

 

My problem with this ride is that it feels rushed especially when boarding the carriage. Has anyone actually had the time to watch the advert played on the tube yet?

The thing that amused me about Buffalo coaster was that despite it being a long, slow coaster it went round twice!

 

Coasters would be;

- Rita at AT.  Short yet completely dull, often runs badly and even with the new fences it's awfully presented.

- Galactica at AT.  I've never been a fan of Air but it was okay for a relax.  IMO the VR completely defeats the point of the coaster as well as destroying throughputs.

- Vampire at CWOA.  Whilst a fan of Arrow coasters I really don't get all the fuss with this aside from the theme (and even that's diminished somewhat).

 

As for non-coaster rides;

- Kite Flyer at PWH.  Hilarious, yet pointlessly uncomfortable and makes me dread going on Hero later this year! 

- Dragon's Claw at AI - just an uncomfortable headrush that left me feeling sick.

 

I feel like you are trying to be the "Katie Hopkins" of the forum.

This is a good move for DCA. I t will  be the centrepiece of a new Marvel land.

I don't know this but I did hear a lot of people saying £1000/ride/hour on Facebook, and thinking about it, it sounds about right if you factor in all the elements of operating the rides (and obviously Merlin will want to profit)

 

Stormzy isn't paying to rent out the park. This just a great Thorpe park PR/ Marketing stunt as it's a win-win for the park.

It does seem very early to start Fright Nights advertising based on earlier years, but I guess with no summer event it makes sense to start advertising it earlier.

So what do you rate the advert out of 10?

What's brilliant is how this whole campaign is also about 2 months behind schedule thanks to the delays of Ghost Train. Halloween events are essentially Thorpe's only event now so I expect it to be hugely marketed. Sad we didn't get to play a game and have Platform15 teased to us  it's always good fun trying to work out what we're getting.

 

 

Have we ever seen a fright night campaign released before August? If anything were in-front of schedule.

What the hell have I just read ? Haha it would be nice if the ride opened tomorrow though !! 

An ongoing joke.... possibly you missed the start of the ongoing joke.

Look's like it must be at least a 4.5 out of 10.

Just now, Coaster Jamie said:

That I didn't enjoy it enough to rate it 5, but I felt that 4 was too harsh considering that they tried a completely new concept.

But if you vote a ride a 5 are you enjoying it?

What makes it not a 5 or a 4?

Open's tomorrow. 

Evening standard article confirms.

 

 

 

4.5/10 did not add picture of article/ did not see this had already been posted. Poor work Dom

Isn't that the same video they posted on their Facebook in late April / early May?  Why have they uploaded it to their YouTube now?

Even better isn't the blonde lady on Thorpe parks marketing team.... hardly reactions.

It's all a mystery.

This image? You remember the image leaked in the tech mag about a month ago.... why does the interior look so sparse in comparison.

So staying away from the spoilers shall we talk about the vive as I know the first time I used it, I was blown away but that was for a video game. How were first impressions?

Let's think of this, though ..... Can Thorpe park really afford to drop one attraction for one which would only be effective after dusk if it is not in a tent / warehouse? Imagine how long the queues will be before dusk.

The old train path is where TWBP is right? So... Where's Blair Witch gonna go if the new maze is there?

 

 

No by the log flume that loop of the track. Those actors are outside and it does say overground would be weird to be all indoors. Plus log flume now in motion meaning no health  and safety risk. Time to theme it all up as well.

* I mistook overgrown and overground. Still it adds to the case also those images are taken in the wood and rockwork where the train used to travel through.

Chainsaw actor from asylum roaming the park confirmed? People in hazmat suits? The potential think of the potential or it could just be actors wearing black with a bit of fake blood on their faces.

Also from the description, it sounds like the old train path will be used for the new maze.

The guy in the picture is one of Thorpe parks main actors he does Celebrity and fright nights.

I'm not bothered about being one of the first people on, I would be bothered by seeing "select customers" being let on when the majority aren't.

 

And I commented because that's my opinion.

 

But if you were one of the first on, you would probably be boasting about it?

Press release on social media will go something like:

 

"We are excited as you are to finally ride the new Derren Brown's Ghost Train at THORPE PARK RESORT. However, we anticipate the experience being extremely popular, and because of this we will be introducing a pre-booked timed ticket system to minimise queues and ensure everyone has a fair chance of boarding during their visit to THORPE PARK. Only those with a prebooked ticket will be able to board DERREN BROWN'S GHOST TRAIN until further notice."

 

Wait is this a soft opening? Or is it a ballot? The word fair confuses me everyone will get on the ride if they queue up at the end of the day whether its 5mins or 4 hours down the line.

Count me in!

I was fearing for my life after being on a  Stealth rollback. .....Can see the headlines already.
