MattyMoo Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I hope they look after the projectors better than those in the Smiler queue building Wizzerzak and dragon2000 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 The psychological tagline being used again? It does sound promising though, and Derren Brown... Never saw that coming lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Though It's exciting to finally hear that the ride is Derren brown, I'm still disappointed. Why can't they make their own theme? Saying that, it might not be a ride about him, but just a ride that he's helped create (I'm hoping it's the latter). We still don't actually know what the ride is about!

We still don't actually know what the ride is about! I'm hoping this ride will be 'directed' (don't know what other word to use to describe it) by him. It's his ideas and input and he has a massive part in it, more like a 'Derren Brown Presents' rather than Derren Brown the Ride. I wouldn't mind either, though, as the blogpost TPM just put up definitely sounds good! jon81uk, Kerfuffle and Tom 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graw Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'm hoping the ride still has its own story and theme created by Merlin and that Derren just has creative input. We'll see I guess . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Well Peaj won't be happy the next time he comes onto this forum and see's Derren Brown the ride. alexander, 400400 and MattyMoo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L7123456 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 You said 9am Thorpe. Where's my announcement. Exactly what I was thinking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Punchline Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 It's on their Facebook now, don't expect anything revealing though, just more "mind blowing" "world's first" "psychological" bla bla bla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Also if this is the park's biggest investment, it would add fact to the rumoured £30,000,000 budget - can't say if it will be worth the money, but my gut instinct tells me the money could be much better spent on a major coaster and several new flats.

Ryan Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 With the money they are rumoured to be spending on it, and Derren obviously not wanting to associate himself with something crap, this could be pretty awesome! huzzellio and Tom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyMoo Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Is the tied up lips significant? Would some sort of effect meaning you (at least think) you can't shout/speak be possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Is the tied up lips significant? Would some sort of effect meaning you (at least think) you can't shout/speak be possible? They match the linked people in the photo of the actors on the bridge and the photo of his coffee he tweeted. Don't know what it's all about though! 5 lines of string tying his mouth, 5 people linked arms and the same in the coffee: 400400, CharlieN and Phill Pritchard 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Well Derren Brown for me was highly expected, the dots from events recent and past seemed to connect quite well. Whilst I'm not one that's a massive fan of IP's (bar movie themed parks), I'm quite excited to see how his one develops and though Derren Brown will be a leading contributer to the project, I'm still hoping it will be an original ride with original storyline on top of being highly immersive experience. This probably means though we won't get an IMA score soundtrack then . The 13 minute ride duration could be either a good thing or bad thing, I just hope the throughput is good (needs to be at least 1000) as dark rides can go two ways with throughputs.

gabbygrace Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Is the tied up lips significant? Would some sort of effect meaning you (at least think) you can't shout/speak be possible? on the Instagram post they say "we've had to result to extreme measures to stop Derren sharing too many secrets" MattyMoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slendercat Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Just saw some more pics released this morning posted on Facebook. They're of Derren Brown sitting with a Brain in a jar, sitting with a skull in a jar and possibly drawing something while looking at the brain in a jar.

A 13 minute experience, not ride. I'd be very surprised to see a ride lasting that long, I'd think this time would include any pre-show, walk through or whatever other gubbins is going to go on in there...

Ryan Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Scruffy Dog have confirmed on their Twitter that they are working on this ride (can't remember if this was known fact already). Kerfuffle, MachoMachine and 400400 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhabbi Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 This must have been released early as well as some of the tweets about derren Browns new ride were on Twitter 10 hours ago!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
