October 26, 20159 yr comment_222138 I hope they look after the projectors better than those in the Smiler queue building
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222139 If you go to mindswanted.co.uk/iseeyou there is a small image gallery.
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222140 The psychological tagline being used again? It does sound promising though, and Derren Brown... Never saw that coming lol!
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222141 With official announcements now made discussion on the theme and ride experience speculation continues here from the old speculation topic
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222145 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!
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222147 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! 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!
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222148 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 .
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222149 Well Peaj won't be happy the next time he comes onto this forum and see's Derren Brown the ride.
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222151 You said 9am Thorpe. Where's my announcement. Exactly what I was thinking!
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222152 It's on their Facebook now, don't expect anything revealing though, just more "mind blowing" "world's first" "psychological" bla bla bla
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222155 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.
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222156 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!
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222157 You said 9am Thorpe. Where's my announcement. http://forum.maniahub.com/topic/11038-derren-brown-attraction-2016-theme-discussion/?p=222135 I don't know what else you were expecting?!
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222159 Is the tied up lips significant? Would some sort of effect meaning you (at least think) you can't shout/speak be possible?
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222160 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:
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222161 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.
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222164 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"
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222165 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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222166 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. 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...
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222167 Scruffy Dog have confirmed on their Twitter that they are working on this ride (can't remember if this was known fact already).
October 26, 20159 yr comment_222168 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
