adam_sparks1 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 It says 60 seats per train?... Must be a show I guess. Still really don't get the negativity. Really looking to see how this turns out. Derren knows what he's doing and like what has been said before really wouldn't want something bad with his name on.

B&MFTW Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 it says the train is suspended 3 metres above the ground, so it could be a like the soaring cinema at disney Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 5 experiences in one? The ULTIMATE Ghost Train? Using the Ghost Train name is interesting, since the general view of those would be cheap fun fair attractions... I wonder when we all needed things to be spelt out for us to know what it is... Dread to think what we're counting as the 5 experiences... Vr? Simulator? Mirror maze? Actors? Sfx? If we're still getting a real announcement I hope they'll actually say what's within hardware wise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I don't think I've ever been so disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 A 60 seat train carriage sounds like the bus thing on Shrek (although I'm not sure - haven't been on it). I'm not sold on it yet, and the name is uncreative to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggddffhh Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Ok interesting trailer and concept. Very confused by the train carriage suspended in the air. I presume the experience will be 2 large train carriages that will alternate to allow people to move through the ride fairly quickly. I presume it is simply a motion simulator with VR Headsets and live effects on the train or close surrounding area. I don't think this technology is explicitly sold yet by any company that we know of, but I think it is essentially a static motion simulator.

Nick Hutson Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Or this. http://www.simworx.co.uk/av-fx/agv-darkride/ Notice how the seats are placed longways in both this and the artwork for the ride. pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Despite it not being exactly what I thought, I'm still very excited for this! I think it'll be pulled off well, and those trailers really have set off the (Victorian steam) hype train for me! Kerfuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400400 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I actually love the name. Derren Brown's ghost train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Dimensions Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 All his language seems really lazy in the video, 'completely rewrite...' 'I think this represents'. Seriously Derren? I guess it is a good thing that he has time limits on his shows and has to act fast to fit everything in, sounds like a right plonker in the videos. Although I guess this relates to half of the audience you guys say attend Fright Nights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL1 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 How can so many people slate the ride already? Shall we just see what it's like once we actually get to ride it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L7123456 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm in A Biology lesson and being spammed by hype!! Have no idea what clue 7 is, gonna be a long time before I find it. Cant get a good look at the website or trailers so will have to check later. Really excited for this now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC! Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 My God I have never seen such a moany bunch in all my life, yeah some of the trailers aren't the best teasers in the world, but they are just that, teasers, we don't know what the ride is going to do or even what it 100% is. So before people jump to the "I'm so disappointed conclusion" remember to wait before saying anything like this ride is gunna be poo, as we know nothing, so people should stop acting like they have already ridden as we know nothing. I for one am I excited for this and interested into seeing what Thorpe can do with £35 mil GladiatorFanKyle, Nick Hutson and 400400 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsyturvy15 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 This looks really cool and definitely something worth being excited about!! I wouldn't want to know anymore about it as that would probably ruin the experience :/ afterall what's the point in a ghost train if you know what's around the corner!

TraX Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 "Next generation technology, 4D special effects and physical transit" = Some type of Immersive tunnel. Leaving Merlin to deal with "'grand illusion" (mirror maze) and "live action", which has since been cut or closed in all the other Merlin attractions that opened with them (aside from the midway attractions). Not being negative as it certainly looks interesting, but a large chunk of those 5D effects will come from the ride section. I imagine this will be pretty hard for marketing to sell.
