PJ. Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Someone has filmed the new ending although not meant to (even on press night). If you search on YouTube for Derren Brown's ghost train new ending, it is there PJSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProSeems like that TP have got that video taken down already. Shame as some people would like to know how scary it is before riding. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Spoiler It appears that the crash effect is now back in operation and looks better than ever! Now lets see see if it stays this way... Marhelorpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marhelorpe Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Spoiler It appears that the crash effect is now back in operation and looks better than ever! Now lets see see if it stays this way... Rode it again today and I too saw it working finally. Rating for the ride has now gone from 7/10 to 8/10 for me after that! Thankfully it was, as predicted, a broken effect that clearly wasn't working until today. Wonder what took them so long to get it running again?

Hopefully it was off being fixed to be more reliable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuntman707 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Spoiler I wonder why they have started using the audio from Nemesis Sub Terra in the live bit? Just reusing old assets instead of making new audio? Just sounds a little bit out of place to me since I'd associate it with Sub Terra.

Stuntman707 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 This is the audio I'm talking about in my secret post: https://youtu.be/lK234OQmUYo?t=4m10s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Spoiler Likely because it fits and there wouldn't be any point making new audio. It's also a nice little Easter egg for enthusiasts! I'm sure they could make new audio as the majority of the ride has new audio, I just think it's a case of it not being necessary seeing as I'd imagine it'd more or less be the same announcement recorded twice.

SteveJ Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Sub Terra will never use its audio again, and since Derren Brown is literally Sub Terra On A Train it fits it fine really! Marhelorpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 So reliability is still an issue with ghost train but rode it twice today and wow SUCH an improvement on last year - I liked the original bar the second VR sequence but ROTD I think is fantastic Roodie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to begin acting somewhat dismissive and causing issue over minor things! However, moving away from the past I hope people enjoy my review! This is an issue? I am just merely correcting you, so you don't look silly. CharlieN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now lets see see if it stays this way... When I read about the changes to the live action scene I was a tad disappointed as I love the crash effect (and watching people's reactions) so was a nice surprise to see it yesterday- and watch people jumping out of the way I also saw at least 3 people in tears yesterday after riding DBGTROTD - felt kind of bad for them but..... maybe I'm a wuss - I screamed and swore very loudly on the second VR section the first time I went on it yesterday- that last VR bit and the ending have made a massive difference from last years version - love it Owen, Ryan and 400400 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Ahhh awesome that you enjoyed it! That effect really does make the difference for me too, fingers crossed it's more reliable this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 After visiting the attraction on Tuesday, I can safely say I wasn't wowed by Rise Of The Demon. The attraction for sure makes improvements, but I generally found the attraction "okay" rather than "WOW THAT WAS AMAZING".. The new ending was by far my favourite part though- I completely fell for it! Though the excessive VR just really isn't for me.. But the attraction seemed reliable throughout the day, which is a massive improvement on the train-wreck which was last year for DBGT..

TPGG Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 What time has Ghost Train been opening recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Opening time / within 30 mins of open time at worse - Based on my last few visits anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L7123456 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 From looking at the app it's been opening between 10 and 10-30 most days. On my last visit it was at 10-15. A lot lot better than last year when it would be lucky to open at 11 or 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Also when I rode on Sunday I beleve all headsets were working - makes the queue much quicker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marhelorpe Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 For now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L7123456 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 All the headsets were working on the two runs I had on Saturday, however they are all still very glitchy. Multiple times on the first section my head moved the opposite way I turned and at one point I fell out of the train completely. It wasn't as bad on the second section but they were still there. Not too sure what they can do to fix this though.. The ending wasn't working either on the first run either, which was disappointing as it meant first time riders missed out on the best part of the ride. It was running later in the afternoon though.

Marc Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Dont see why that shouldn't continue - its already running significantly better than last year - fingers crossed all the work its had will keep it reliable long term. Also @TPGG open now - 5 mins queue if your on park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkCrafter Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 It really shouldn't be so unreliable when I visit. August last year- opened at 5:00. August bank holiday last year- #unavailable all day. Easter holidays- 12:30. I sort of get the impression the ride isn't really the future of theme parks...
