    Derren Browns Ghost Train is a "Virtual Reality Advanced Dark Ride". This mini article from Simworx gives a little more information about the ride, and how it works. 

    Some parts of this article are not quite accurate though.

    "..effects such as smoke, lighting, vibration, leg ticklers.."

    There are no leg ticklers. Nor is there any smoke on the train...

     

    I did have leg ticklers once and that was the very time it during the technical preview 

  2. HI,

    Yes, this definitely helped. It's made me quite intrigued. So I'm guessing if this thing were to, perhaps, drop it probably wouldn't be too big of a drop but enough to make your stomach go a bit. Lengthwise is interesting. Imagine if some of the tracks go sideways, assuming there's a lot of movement of course.

    Would you guys say that immersive tunnels, assuming that's what this is, are more visual in nature, do they feel more like simulators with a lot of tilting, or does the vehicle actually move forward so it could feel a bit more like a train?

    I've done the Shrek adventure one and maybe if a lot of work was put into it then it could be made to feel like a train but it would need the VR and the use of some very clever audio as well
