Graw Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Ah do you think you could post it here in spoiler tags because I reckon a lot of people like myself also want to know what it was! Also, I heard that Containment probably also had a lot of clues in it. Apparently a London underground map or something like that featured in it. can confirm I did containment and there was lots of random items in 3 of the rooms relating to london, and I'm pretty sure there was a tube map in the second room with the safe in it. nothing else really though except mentions of london were all I could see, and nobody really got a chance to look at them properly with the actors prowling around, and of course the time-limit and the fact that we were looking for clues to help us escape. the most notable mention of london would be: the fact that the passcode to escape the second room was hidden under a clock marked "london" next to all these other clocks marked with the names of other countries.. so yeah, lots of mentions of london in containment but apart from that...nothing else really. kind of grasping at straws to be honest , but it was definitely a reccuring theme. anyway I still have no clue where and what the clues to WC16 were in the Big Top..

stretchy Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 It is really good to see them bringing out merchandise to promote the new ride... ... but is anyone realistically going to buy a hoodie when they know absolutely nothing about what the slogans are referring to? Sorry for being late to this but yes. Look around you. 90% of people wear sweatshirts with slogans they know nothing about.Examples: Jw Tokyo Laundry SuperDry Corrected! I have t shirts with all of those slogans on. Haven't a clue what JW is. I have never been to Tokyo and definitely never needed my clothes cleaned there. My SuperDry jacket isn't even waterproof. And what is corrected about the smiler, all it does is hurt my back not correct it Regarding the clown. the only thing I saw at that point was the shadow of the clown behind a screen. I guessed it was to symbolise magic and theatre. Containment clue clock for us was labelled Tokyo not London Coaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Punchline Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Just googled "Whitechapel Automatons" and ended up on a Wiki page for a book called "Whitechapel Gods"- set in Victorian London, about automatons, interesting read EDIT: On a side note, one of the Cabin in the Woods actors stopped me in the maze and whispered in my ear " give your skin to him" JoshuaA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GladiatorFanKyle Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Any possible chance the old Vengance ride could be put into WC16 somehow?.... it's been sat at thorpe for 2 years now.highly doubt it but then again this is Merlin!

And yep - there was a tube map in Containment. I would've paid more attention in room 2 but the dentist lady was very distracting the dentist room was room 3...but I'm jealous. the 2 dentist people were absolutely shocking when I went, just shouted once when we came in and then sat there for the rest of the 5 minutes staring at us blankly, giving us no help or hints or even interaction. the rest of containment was great though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Bit off topic, so soz - yes you are right, it was room 3! I was very impressed with Containment. She was very good, telling me I should use my two brain cells, it's not difficult etc., how many people does it take to put a code into a keypad Graw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the code for the second room was under the tokyo clock as all of the documents in the room are referring to tokyo.

JammyBand Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Apparently some of the people on the forum know what IP the ride will have. It's supposedly all hidden on the posters in the Big Top, and the names of the characters have a lot of relevance to the IP? If you look on the Fright Nights topic in General Discussion you'll see that we're discussing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 So, there are a couple of Easter Eggs (not clues) inside The Big Top for WC16. For those curious, they are... -Madame Mephisto. How this has any relation to WC16 is not known. It could be that the character has some importance. It could be the name (is it an anagram of something maybe?). It could be the tarot cards she uses. Anything. -Kenny the Clown / The Figaro Brothers. Again, not indication as to how they relate to WC16. -The Wheel of Misfortune has the 'Minds Wanted' eye on the pointer. Our tour guide said it was because the eye is 'all seeing and all knowing, and has control over everything'. I've probably made that sound quite Big Brother-esque, but I certainly don't mean to - it's basically just there to show it has control. Also, there's something neat from Containment I noticed yesterday. I'll put it in spoilers for those who have yet to do it... In the second room, the computer screen features loads of code. I noticed that "Minds;Wanted" was part of this code. However, with everything else going on in the maze, I didn't notice is any other parts of this code could give any indication to the ride's theme. That's all I seem to remember. So, does this mean that WC16's theme is related to Big Top and / or Containment? I stand by my long-standing view of "No". These are clearly all Easter eggs designed to tease enthusiasts in my opinion. Once the theme and ride are fully revealed, I have no doubt in my mind that there'll be a few pages of discussion with all of us going "OOOOHHHHH, *that* was relating to this *this*" and the like. It's nice to see them doing something like that if that really is the case. pognoi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graw Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I didn't notice that on the code on the computer in containment, despite me looking through it all for a clue... good find! EDIT: if the clues in the big top are legit....the IP they seem to suggest is incredibly boring in my opinion. don't get your hopes up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 We can always stop playing the pronoun game and just say what you think the IP is. If they put it in the maze they clearly don't care people knowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Sort of defeats the point of a maze: Trying to find the answer/exit. Definition - maze meɪz/ noun 1. a network of paths and hedges designed as a puzzle through which one has to find a way. I think this is the first time Thorpe have actually conquered the definition of a maze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I guess Cabin could seriously be considered a maze. There is a couple of moments where you are walking back on yourself through the maze where you can walk in opposite directions to groups and the different routes can be very disorientating. I meant to say a similar point to yours Ricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordanluke2009 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Ryan just say what you think it is otherwise I'm calling it a bluff. I honestly think it's not an IP and it might just be an original storyline they seem to be doing a Smiler sort of path, where they have a maze linked in and have started to sell merch for the ride in hope people will buy it.
