  1. People need to chill out, it's delayed , we don't know when it's opening and won't until new info is released . We know by the statement made, that nothing is happening next week , so realistically we are looking at the 6th of June for any kind of speculation of an opening day . Anything sooner would be great, but at least knowing we have another couple weeks before we know any more means no reason for false hope.... So chill guys ... #justsaying #bobyourboots #inthefreezer
  2. I totally agree with James on his point. At the end of the day's what's another couple weeks in the grand scheme of things !
  3. I'm sure since the 5th many improvements have been made, themeing added and the illusions and special effects sorted out and perfected, as it has almost been 3 weeks since that day .
  4. I'm sure we will hear a date soon as its coming up to a week in advance , so hold tight for another few days !
  5. I was liturally about to get in my car and drive 15 mins to the park , to check if it was open [emoji23] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. Yer I would have to agree there ! , I'm sure they would have to go through all the rehearsals with the cast and ride staff training, so it's all perfect for opening day. !
  7. Yer while that makes sense I don't see if you are going to load one train carrying only 60 people , surly the throughput is going to be so slow? and if there is two trains how are you going to load the two together , when there is only one unit in the building ? , the ride is so clever and utterly mind boggling ! , it really is an illusion. I just hope it is perfected and performed correctly on opening day . So I hope they do a lot of tests before .
  8. I think it add atmosphere and captures the mood of the ride. And why he says my , is obviously because everyone who's who Derren is and would get quite intimidated by the idea of him consoling your mind ! Haha , that my thinking anyway
  9. The advert is perfect for the ride ! , intense and scary enough ! , think may half term begins around the 27th , so makes sense for them to announce it then?
  10. Yer I have to agree with you here mate , 13th does look a little unlikely , if they also still have to sort out that area . Although it is meant to be abandoned which would make sense if they almost left it , with some rusted items around the place , could make for some good themeing ! , and with a some picnic tables could be used as an extension for outside seating for the bbq. . It would be awesome for it to open this weekend coming , but we have to wait just that little bit longer. I cant ant seem them building a new stucture at this late in the game or anything in that space, so think it may be used as additional seating , or a place for a stand or stall ? That's my thinking anyway haha
  11. I don't know what would fill that space ?
  12. Sorry to double post . This was came up on theme park guides page today What are people's thoughts ?
  13. I'm in two minds about this opening date. While yes it does seem a bit late for Friday 13th , it also fits the theme of superstition. Could they open the attraction with only a couple days warning, perhaps ? Or they could have a trailer on the 13th for anticipation of the ride opening last week of May ? , who knows ?! On another note, I wonder if anyone can help me? , I bought a cog key ring for my car keys. I couldn't work out why the picture on the secand cog was a very weird shape and weather that was due to looking at it in a certain way with the 1st cog over the top of it. I can't really see why the picture cog has such an oddly shaped image on it ? , can anyone help ?
  14. On another note has anyone got any updates from today re DBGT ? I suppose nothing has changed or been added ?
  15. Lol that's so true !
  16. Yer oh definatly , it's great they have kept the padlock on this ride shut and I breakable ,but it just made me think , in the last few dates they have teased it so much , so I was hoping for another one today , but I suppose will have to wait till tomorrow haha !
  17. No update today on social media , thought they where going to continue with the hype today , oh well let's hope for tomorrow
  18. I think they will start appearing just after the ride opens perhaps ? I swear iv already heard some radio coverage on the attraction already , kiss fm ect. But I don't know !
  19. True but I doubt they would have given away all their secrets on their social media I'm sure there is more to it then they are letting on ! Haha
  20. I think the rules where no that legit and just a way to build up anticipation for the ride ! , who knows ! Also I thought this was rather intreeging as TP and saying maybe it's not only just actors that are the other creatures in there ! ... Hmm food for thought indeed!
  21. That's very true ! , lol so excited !
  22. That's very true about all these NDA's , basically we won't know a date until Thorpe officially announce it . Not gunna lie, I feel like we have waited a lifetime for this ride , I'm just so praying its going to be the most mind bending, eye popping, scariest ride. . I have no doubt it will be , and should almost challenge those out in the states , in terms of themeing and technology ! We we just need a date now ! Pppllleeaaasseee!
  23. The tidal wave sign is georgous and beautifully themed ! , it fits in perfectly with the disaster theme!
  24. That could be definatly used ! Although I swear the photo oppertunties, are in those small booths in the queue line
  25. This is a brilliant collection of information ! , I would think they would have some sort of themed uniform, it could be a small touch , to the usual staff outfits , but I am sure somthing will be added . In in regards to the non scare maze thing. I second that point that she said about the attraction not being a walk through , as on Darren's interview on talk radio a few days ago , he said it's a mix of a ride/walkthrough/show , elements of all of these put together. So while I'm sure there will not be a 'scare attraction' part as such, I am sure there maybe the odd actor dotted around that may or may not attempted to scare you . Thats my my prediction anyway
