The mazes seem a bit stale and the actors do all the same thing?? Maybe I've done them too many times

Well we do have to remember most of them are Btec level 3 educated.

Going to bail on tonight as tired out after all the merlin attractions today and I don't want to be a lone ranger.

looks like we will be getting sideshows around the park.

An email reminder just came through:

The event starts from 6:00pm with an exciting show that you will not want to miss.The island changes after dark and with access to rides in the dark (limited availability), attractions and live events we can't wait to see you all!

bring back the day hell froze over

I was just wondering what does everyone prefer? A large PR campaign like Thorpe's where the ride is only revealed a few months in advance. Or Disney/Universals stance where the ride theme seems to be released years in advance.

I'm thinking of going but will be a lone ranger =(

So Katie horror Hopkins is the star of containment. This is the scariest thing that they could think of. Wow Thorpe park wow

really tempted to apply for an acting job now lol.

really tempted to apply foran acting job now lol.

Almost ready for giving up already!

I've tried everything to unlock the first clue! Don't understand how anyone has managed it!

It says watch the video on the mind THE gap page. Which page is this?

 

Do you have to watch the video at 7.30 or there abouts?

 

 

Would be interested to see who wrote about it though!

New teaser video!

If you like Merlin's customer service, you'll love PortAventura's 

I thought they had staggered opening on purpose.

I'm gonna be roaming this year

Thought staff weren't allowed on these forums.

That quote easily relates to themeparks.

"may find fright nights is more extreme than usual"...does that mean if you fail somehow the actors will pick on you more or something???

 

interesting video..

My bet is that whatever everyone fails every time. The breakout is impossible.

If you get saw do you interact with the traps like the shotgun carousel?!

I don't mind what it is as long as screens and 3d are involved after riding that bus at Shrek 

Well that definatly finally seals the deal of me ever going on this ride. At 6'7 it's just not going to happen.

How did you skip the photo section? At Blackpool (Tower) we had to explain to the person 'no thanks, we've got no money on us so don't waste your time taking the photo' and they let us through, is there a short cut to avoid it at Shrek or is it pretty much the same?

My son is a sucker for photo's and I don't fancy having to fork out £30 or whatever it is for the album.

I've also long suspected WC16 could be Shrek's big brother (since Merlin announced they intended to build a lot more of the 'ride systems').

I guess as I was just on my own and was only really there to see the bus.

Went today after a long interview. No queue. The bus ride is definitely one of Merlin's best attractions, its a shame they can't just build a load of these. Even if WC16 took on this sort of ride system I would be happy seeing as I was expecting some sort of Madedeme Tussawds esk bus ride. Although the 4d wasn't the best the ride felt intense. Skipped the photo section at the end.
