alexander Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Simworx are still relatively young in the theme park world, so it's hard to judge. I feel like they'd be more like the Gerstlauer of transits though, in a few years time.**** then Matt 236 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Dark ride systems potentially Dynamic Attractions = B&M Mack = Mack Sally Corp = Intamin Simworks= Gerstlsuer Vekoma = Vekoma I've probably missed at least one major dark ride builder here.

3Dimensions Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Intamin/Ride Trade? I hear their dark rides are similar in quality to those made by SALLY Corp. ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javs Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Call me old fashioned, but I love a traditional Ghost Train a la 'The Haunted House'. There is something exciting about being whisked off in a rickety old train into the darkness not knowing what awaits. The point is, it is fun as well as scary and the shared experience with friends and family is what makes it a joy. What worries me about this, is the notion of having an individual experience. Part of what makes a theme park fun is shared experiences. Am I making any sense here?! PS I'm not putting it down as we have no idea what it is yet, but it just worries me a little. pluk, SteveJ and CharlieN 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 "Ghost Trains are by their nature generally a bit rubbish" There's plenty of decent ones! Interesting interview though, though it doesn't really give anything else away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Other then he did say that each experience is different and personal so it will be rerideable and different from your ride neighbours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 My favourite bit of dark rides is discussing with your friends afterwards. After hex, me and my friend were discussing the story, whether we were actually upside down and how it worked. We won't be able to do that after this....

pluk Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 My favourite bit of dark rides is discussing with your friends afterwards... We won't be able to do that after this.... I think you will. The differences will have to be relatively limited and subtle as there's no escaping that yo will be sharing the same physical space.

Matt 236 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 The chances of there being a 'no cameras or recording equipment' rule on this attraction are equivalent to this ride having fastrack. AKA it's going to happen. On the positive side, it'll mean the ride's experience shall be in tact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There goes that plan I guess. paige and Zach 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 It won't have fast track for the first 6 months I don't think I guess it depends on how good the throughput is. Look at Swarm; that has a good capacity and did from day 1, so Fastrack was on sale from the get go. But the likes of Saw and IAC only had Fastrack introduced later when the throughput had improved / became consistent. I would expect it to be avaliable during summer unless there are major problems; too good of a profit avaliable not to really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Hutson Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I expect it to be timed entry with no fast track at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm expecting shorter queues around the park due to this ride. A few more flats and I don't think the queues will be too bad at all. Surely the majority would want to ride DBGT when they go to the park? After all, it's had a lot of publicity.

JoshC. Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I expect it to be timed entry with no fast track at all. As in the whole queueing system for the attraction is RnR style with no 'real queue'? Would seem to be a huge waste of the extremely long queue they're going to build, no? And would go against Thorpe's decision to pull RnR usage from FN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
