Ryan Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm surprised that they're not adding VR to it!. They are. Matt 236, paige and Tom 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm surprised that they're not adding VR to it! In fairness it's good to see improvements being made, but it won't change the fact that an attraction like that doesn't work in a theme park environment, that's just my opinion though. By not working in a theme park environment, do you simply mean by the fact it's a low throughput attraction? I only ask because I feel that an attraction like this - a themed, interactive, walk through experience - can and does work in a theme park environment. So curious if you disagree with that, or of it's down to something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So curious if you disagree with that, or of it's down to something else? The low throughput is the fundamental flaw but the choice of theme was a strange one IMO - interactive attractions are good and IAC is done to a high standard, but the idea of having a theme park attraction themed to I'm a Celebrity just doesn't work for me (and that's not because I dislike the programme, I quite like it). Â It didn't seem to have many people queueing for it when I saw it on various occasions last year (apart from when it first opened), though obviously it would have taken quite a while due to the throughput.

CharlieN Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I just hope the experience will revolve less around the actors and it should be more intuitive as to where you are supposed to go. I did enjoy the attraction on my only walk through but our actor was really cringe worthy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celia Mae Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 2 hours? Seriously? Not too surprising given the size of the queues around park and the throughput it had already, let alone with it being made longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Not too surprising given the size of the queues around park and the throughput it had already, let alone with it being made longer It's just a shame that throughput wasn't one of the improvements - not sure what could realistically be changed but I think that designing a permanent attraction with a throughput of less than 200pph was a very bizarre decision from the park.

It may have been, but it's been done now so I think they're just trying to make the best of the attraction they've been left with. At least they've tried to update it to keep it relevant and current to the TV show that a lot of people watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretchy Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yesterday we joining the queue at 14:05 and got into the ride at 15:45. It was the first time I had done it. Â My thoughts. Â The actors were good, they all, without fail, acted their hearts out. The experience didn't quite knit together correctly I answered incorrectly in the booth and nothing happened. In fact all of the challenges were kindergarten level The only vaguely interesting challenge was the star one, which got people working as a team. Â If it wasn't for the acting it would have been a pathetic experience, The actors brought it up to an ok experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han30 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 ^ I preferred the revamp compared to the initial version although I would never be prepared to wait anything over 25 mins to go on it. All they've really done is added a section where you search through underwear and a very short outback shack section. Probably the worst "revamp" I've ever spent so much time on queueing for (2hrs). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk  erm....search through underwear?!! and you waited 2 hours for that? - go work in a charity shop and you get to do that for free plus no queueing! Hmm I hope the pants were clean  I've only done the maze twice - first time was ok, second time was terrible so I wouldn't go on it again unless it had no queue (the only reason I went on it the second time was due to no queue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan.B Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 The queue was only five minutes the other day so I decided I'd give it a go. Â Huh, what? Awful- just awful. Theming was good, but it was just a boring and bland experience! The most exciting part of it was when we were evacuated during the Outback Shack scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400400 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I find the best thing about iac is when u get some banter going between the actors. Some of them aren't in the mood but I've had some pretty funny times in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeah Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Okay, so my friend went to Thorpe yesterday and was evacuated in IAC. In his words "We got to the bit when you go down the slide, all the lights blacked out, all the airbags deflated and a message played saying "We are no longer able to continue operation, please make your way to the nearest exit immediately" Does anyone know what happened?
