No surprises here really; Fastrack was always rumoured to be unavailable for the first month or so. But I guess if your paying up to £500 then you get the right to be above everyone else. Ugh, why can't everyone be treated equally and not go by the logic of 'more money equals better treatment'..
June 17, 20169 yr comment_236867 Whats everyone make of the tent a hint to opening day lingering on us or is it somthing thats nothing what you all think
June 17, 20169 yr comment_236870 People are discussing the tent's relevance in the general Derren Beown's Ghost Train topic.
June 17, 20169 yr comment_236871 4 hours ago, Martin.C said: 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. Hence why they haven't announced it opening... I think the limited timed tickets will happen. So noone can complain they're annoyed it ran out of slots. Well they will, but if it's not officially announced as open, then they haven't got a leg to stand on.

June 18, 20169 yr comment_236878 The tent is now gone again, and so this confirms it was for an after hours event only.
June 18, 20169 yr comment_236879 I won't be conTENT until they reveal to us what ideas they have PITCHED about this ride! Us enthusiasts are practically CAMPING outside the ride to find out any details possible! In all seriousness though, it's probably close to opening soon right? The mysterious tent just makes me more curious!
June 18, 20169 yr comment_236880 There's ALOT of staff milling around today... As much as I would love for them to open it today I don't see it happening. Maybe Monday or Tuesday? But I guess there just open it without saying
June 18, 20169 yr comment_236881 The tent is in there as well, maybe for hotel guest previews? As in a place where they can show their room keys?

The mysterious black tent is also there too...
June 18, 20169 yr comment_236883 So the train has been extended by 6 metres, or has it always been this length?
June 18, 20169 yr comment_236891 Loads of staff in the same place yesterday as well, saw them all from Inferno
June 18, 20169 yr comment_236899 We have people riding it! It can only be a matter of days from now until it officially opens! Now to hide from all the spoilerific reviews that will without a doubt show up
June 18, 20169 yr comment_236901 Diden't the park say they were going to do a soft opening for hotel guests? Shoulden't be too long before we get on it!
June 18, 20169 yr comment_236902 Hotel guests going on first? Oh well there's goes our hopes in trying to ride it first. Might as as well just wait until 2018 now.
June 18, 20169 yr comment_236903 It opening will of course be dependent on the response from hotel guests... Woe betide being on here if it's negative and causes further delays...
June 18, 20169 yr comment_236904 Wonder if any nerds have just booked a room for tonight so they can go on Ghost Train.
June 18, 20169 yr comment_236908 I understand they did this during park hours which frankly I find appalling. What a huge kick in the teeth for everyone on park today to see people being let in when they've spent all that money. Thankfully I wasn't there, I've lost interest in this attraction but yet again they've completely mismanaged something which will cause annoyance and upset amongst the majority of paying customers!
