pluk Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 You'd think people constantly forget how Merlin like to wind enthusiasts up with non-sensical crap like this... This is gonna turn into Thirteen's construction, where focus on the ride's background ended up being guessed as a dog because there was one in the promotional art... Then everyone will be upset we didn't get a Doctor Who themed ride... Even though the clues didn't actually point to one... I don't think anyone is taking these guesses too seriously, they certainly shouldn't be, and the speculation thing is all a bit of fun. That is until someone states it will or won't be something and gets aggy when people disagree (a la the washing machine element declaration by those buffoons), but no one's doing that here so we may as well play along with the parks little games.

TheBelgianWaffle Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 It would never be a Silent Hill ride. That'd be way too amazing. As too would a Five Nights at Freddy's dark ride. Waaaay too amazing. Ohhh please, not Five night at Fred's. That would be atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 None of the clues have anything even remotely related to Doctor Who. What does Doctor who have to do with taking minds, always watching, lights etc. That's pretty much what Series 8 was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altitude Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Where did the speculation of a doctor who ride actually come from? There was no evidence to ever suggest Doctor Who, it's just some people reading a little too much into things! If this thing does end up being Doctor Who themed (which I'm 100% sure it won't be) I'll admit I was wrong the whole time, but I just can't see this using that IP.

Nathanevans1010 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I have never been to thorpe park but I'm just wondering the picture with the lights are there any of these lights at the park if it is maybe they have clues on them on what the ride is. its a long shot but worth checking.

MattyMoo Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 On the website - Mind Gap... that's an odd turn of phrase, sounds like a play on words of "Mind The Gap" to me. Expect a train carriage I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Mind the gap was always something the old train conducted shouted at you as we you entered stations, I do seem to remember, along with don't stick your head out the window you f****** idiot. Maybe this is a Victorian train simulator, see how close you can get to the oncoming train before you head is sliced off.... MattyMoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxbennxx Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 This ride could very well be Dr Who. in the same breath it could very well not be. nobody can say 100% yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's joyous isn't it, not knowing something. Nearly everytime the spoilers are left right and centre but Merlin have been pretty good at keeping things secret until they're ready to announce.

mah boi Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Reading the mind gap page on the mindswanted website for 11th September, one thing that stood out for me is that it appears there is one person who is behind all of this. Rather then say we are watching you which would suggest a organisation or foundation, it just says 'I'm constantly watching' and 'there is nowhere to hide from my gaze.' I guess in a way this could rule out something like cybermen for doctor who and any other thing which involves a organisation.
