StealthRider Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Nobody has had a back stage tour. Ever. However I know somebody who was evacuated from it who said they could see various bits of hardware but I am unsure as to where they were.

StealthRider Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 That explains that then, they rode it and said "HEY THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED". Trust me, they're lying. And again there has NOT been a single backstage tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair they said no cameras and don't reveal secrets but let the press strap go pros on and film it and put online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlesberg Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 With this ride, I want to love it but I can't change it from 4.5/10 after yesterday. When I rode it yesterday I was hoping to maybe end up liking it and I was also hoping a few things would be fixed since the technical rehearsals. However, it gave me the same opinion as I've always had and it just left me saying "was that it?", like at the technical reheasal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different characters, ending etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more or less the same with some slight differences, there were more demons and there wasn't a guy getting snatched by a demon like before. Apart from that, it was the same.

Project LC Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Having gone to Thorpe today as part of a network camp I finally rode dbgt, much earlier than expected to be honest. Unfortunately first time the ride stopped at the beginning of the first vr sequence. So the ride skipped the first vr and we were rushed to the actor bit with no introduction to what was going on at all. The ending then looked shocking, some ps1 games have better graphics. Anyway we were then offered to ride again which we did. Unfortunately this time the actors didn't care. They didn't touch anyone and the whole thing was very disappointing. I can't give it more than 3/10 just because the way I experienced it. I wouldn't queue more than 20 minutes for it which is disappointing as it had so much potential.

I had a very similar experience to you last Sunday. Two rather terrible rides on it that lowered my opinion on it. Luckily, I got on a third time during the day, and the experience was a whole lot better! Loads of effects, very immersive VR, actors trying their hardest! The graphics of the second VR though are awful though, I do have to agree. It's the worst part of the ride for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 What is the process of cleaning the VR headsets? I would like to know at what point between guests they are all cleaned? Putting signs up in the queue line stating they are cleaned, doesn't mean they actually are. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 As it was my first time on it that breakdown ruined it. It spoiled the whole thing and now I don't value the attraction at all. From my view it's £40m down the drain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 To be fair, you could have Tower of Terror or Kong or Gringotts break down on your first ride and it could potentially ruin the whole thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I can see why people would like it and as you said dark rides do take that risk just unfortunate I had 2 shocking runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I must be very unlucky, fair enough I have only been on it twice but it was exactly the same for me each time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jormerod18 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 The first time I went on it I heard someone get snatched by the demon but didn't see it, you have to look to the right of the carriage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
