Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon

Recommended Posts

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??

These images were accidentally posted by Merlin (on their website) and were not meant to be seen by the public. They are still about online and so can be found, but should not be posted on here.

Ahh, that's what was meant by "That thing" Thorpe released earlier.

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?

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.

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?!

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

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.

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!  :)

This is good news

 

I'm assuming they'll be contacting everyone that applies to?

Is this email trustworthy? I have yet to be contacted.
