Matt 236 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 TBH people have been told off for trying to take pictures outside the attraction, let alone trying to sneak a go pro onboard. If overreacting to things was a degree, Merlin would have a PHD there. dragon2000 and PJ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Cameras are not permitted on any of the rides at Thorpe - enforcing rules for H&S is not over reacting. KingNemesis, David B and Chaz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 People might think Merlin over-react, but it's nothing compared to some other parks (glares at Phantasialand and their forcible removable of photos online...). You can't blame them for not wanting to have people record on rides. Nor for wanting to keep a big secret new ride secret.

Again, taking this as a pinch of salt as staff have said this - although it's certainly intriguing? Where did u hear this too ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben199 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I want it open ASAP as much as everyone else but you can't complain about the delays and then not giving us a timeframe in the same sentence Lucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 If I spent £30 million on a ride I'd certainly 'over react' about anyone spoiling it! It it may also be a safety concern if actor interaction occurs, as they may hit it and hurt you or themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucy1996 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah I juat feel wont be open for a while I think no one really knows people claim to work at the park but somtimes you just dont know so I'm just gonna wait till it opens really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 The fact that Merlin Magic Magic (the people who mainly piece it together) are gone is a pretty good indicator that the ride may open soon... Also, Theme Park Guide have posted that bin bags were believed to be added into the bins in the queue line. All I can think of is the amount of bin bags this ride will go through!

Owen Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 The scan your ticket booths are likely for on ride photos, this can be confirmed as there are ticket scanning points where photo op's are speculated to be and where you buy you photo. I believe pluk was referring to the way Insider was adamant that there will be timed tickets and that we should believe them, essentially a form of confirming it. I have no have to idea about timed tickets, but for now the only ones officially confirmed are for wheelchair users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATF Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Looking at the spoiler image of the inside of the carriage I realised that there are no headphones to go with the headsets. This probably means that every rider will be hearing the same things in the carriage. So the 12 alternative experiences either share the same story (audio and narrations would be the same), or they happen at different times (I.e. everyone has the same version at any given time) OR the 12 different experiences don't happen in the train Edit by Tom: In future please use spoiler tags or place in the spoiler discussion found here Edited June 17, 2016 by Tom Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Some members may be overjoyed if this turns out to be a tuned ticket booth. That's one journey I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Would the staff/Derren previews not count? If you mean annual pass previews personally I don't see that happening anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marhelorpe Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Seems odd if this tent is for timed tickets because Thorpe generally like seeing big queues on their rides so they can sell more Fastrack to the guests, so wouldn't this reduce Fastrack sales instead? Either that or we could be seeing something similar again to Vampire in April 2015 where it only ran a 1 train operation and unless you made it to the ride's entrance before 10:15am just after the park opens, you couldn't get on it for the day as they sold out of time slots. Hopefully that won't happen if it does open this weekend as it will annoy a lot of people who arrive later into the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Fastrack will be unavailable to regular guests for awhile after the attraction opens, with only VIP pass holders being able to use this line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
