April 10, 20169 yr comment_232085 I believe it will combine the Victorian theme with a modern day, London Underground theme (Possibly Derren's illusion, time travel or another method of transferring between 1871 and now ). Images of the VR content also showed some creatures in a modern city.Where are these images??Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk
April 10, 20169 yr comment_232086 Does anyone have any idea of how we could be seated, would people be next to me or would it be, perhaps an arrangement of seats opposite each other?

April 10, 20169 yr comment_232090 Was the 60 seats per train confirmed? If so; hopefully there is more than one train keeping a high throughput. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
April 10, 20169 yr comment_232095 It is confirmed each train will hold 60, with 3 rumoured ride vehicles. If this is the case you could have 4 batches of 60 in the attraction at once, from this it can be assumed it will have a throughput of approximately 1000pph give or take. Slightly concerning if you ask me... What I'm interested in is the fact we have a around 10 different groups of people working on this attraction, Intamin, Simworx, Merlin, Derren, IMAscore, Scruffy Dog, HTC, Figment Productions, Seven Lamb and one other. Very impressive line up - hopefully it all works together other wise this might be a disaster, also I don't know about you, but I dread to think what will happen if it has a major tech issue with the ride system with at least 3 companies working on the system. Could this mean having all the companies having to oversee the attraction?
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232107 An Intamin van/workers I believe were spotted on site a few days ago... Shall be on park today, will see if the train is still there and/or if there is anything else exciting is going on!

It's impressive with so many people working together on a ride how little has leaked, OK we have had a few blunders, but way less than usual. Well done Thorpe. P.s. the above post was NOT intended to be sarcastic p.p.s The above sentence also isn't sarcasm - Damn no sarcasm in a post at all. Maybe I am ill.
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232133 Just saw a company (PR Hydraulics) outside the big red turd who specialise in the production of hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors and hydraulic valves...could be a launch somewhere inside?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I don't think there's enough room for a launch inside that building?! Maybe something to do with raising or lowering vehicles inside the ride
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232136 Id suspect it's to do with raising and lowering the vehicles as James says, which could be more evidence supporting how you will be raise and lowered out of the shell of the 'suspended' train. I believe that during the periscope in febuary it was confirmed the actual vehicle won't be fast moving at all.
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232143 Agreed, the level of mystery sounding the ride has been quite impressive - fingers crossed this results in the public being intrigued and keen to visit instead of not being bothered because it's not a visible coaster etc. The adverts better be good
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232144 Just got an email from Merlin: "Dear Mathew On Friday 25 March 2016, our 12p ticket sale went live too early. This is the last thing we wanted, and understandably it left you frustrated and annoyed that your chances of winning may have been affected. We could continue to apologise, but actions speak louder than words. We promised we would try to make amends if we could, so as a gesture of goodwill, we will be more than trebling the amount of 12p tickets available for 2016 - a further 4,000 tickets will be made available as part of the draw! On Monday 18 April 2016 each person who registered to the site before the main sold out page went live on our website for all to see will have their details automatically entered into the draw which will be run by an independent adjudicator. You are one of those people, and there is nothing else you need to do to be entered." Fair play chaps, excellent work!

April 11, 20169 yr comment_232149 "DON'T FALL FOR IT" featuring a support structure very similar to TH13TEEN's vertical drop, and we know Intamin are involved? Could this be hinting at a vertical drop?

April 11, 20169 yr comment_232156 The themeing keeps getting better and better. Does the Derren Fortune Teller in the shop actually work? like, give out cards and stuff?
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232158 The themeing keeps getting better and better. Does the Derren Fortune Teller in the shop actually work? like, give out cards and stuff? Yes he does, at £1 a pop mind
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232159 It gives out a fortune and each fortune allows 20% off in the Ghost Train Shop (one per person obviously)!
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232160 It gives out a fortune and each fortune allows 20% off in the Ghost Train Shop (one per person obviously)! Only some of them have the 20% voucher on!
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232161 I am officially hyped for this. Track is enough to get me really excited. Is the track Intamin?
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232162 Only some of them have the 20% voucher on! And that 20% off you're getting, you just put into the fortune teller machine
April 11, 20169 yr comment_232163 And that 20% off you're getting, you just put into the fortune teller machine Have you seen the amount of cool stuff in the shop?!? 20% off what I will be paying is a lot more than £1!
