March 31, 20169 yr comment_230945 Few snaps from me today. Nick Varney was also there just before 3pm. I'll have a construction video update soon.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_230986 Went into the shop Today. it is wonderfully themed and Looks amazing. it has a very creepy atmosphere that made me feel very uneasy so goodness knows what the ride is gonna be like. Was nice to see a shop with a bit more variety then most of the shops at Thorpe. I honestly feel like this ride is gonna be a success it feels part of the park already and it's not even open yet!
April 1, 20169 yr Author comment_231032 Saw some workmen with Intamin clothing on today heading into DBGT - that means severn-lamb, Simworx and Intamin have all been spotted around the attraction now!
April 1, 20169 yr comment_231036 Saw some workmen with Intamin clothing on today heading into DBGT - that means severn-lamb, Simworx and Intamin have all been spotted around the attraction now!It's sounding quite possible this is a multiple party contribution project now. Or there will be several rides/moving sensors as part of this attraction.I wonder.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_231037 Intamin do do transport type attractions... Unless I've been misinformed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 1, 20169 yr comment_231039 Didn't Intamin do the Moscow Monorail system? Pretty sure they made the moving floor walkways you see in airports too.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_231040 Didn't Intamin do the Moscow Monorail system? Pretty sure they made the moving floor walkways you see in airports too. Some of the trains used on the Moscow Monorail are from Intamin, yes. As well as a small selection of dark rides and simulators, they also do several transportation things too.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_231043 They were probably well hidden behind a tree, just like that pesky non existent Loggers tunnel
April 1, 20169 yr Author comment_231044 Not calling you a lair... Any photo of the intamin people? No - sorry!
April 1, 20169 yr comment_231059 May have been mentioned before, but today a shutter to DBGT was open directly opposite the x queueline fire exit, and there was what appeared to be a very thick grey metal track like structure? Any ideas?
April 1, 20169 yr comment_231061 May have been mentioned before, but today a shutter to DBGT was open directly opposite the x queueline fire exit, and there was what appeared to be a very thick grey metal track like structure? Any ideas? Did you manage to take any pictures?
April 1, 20169 yr comment_231062 Nope sorry, had a stream of people behind me. Have a look if you can next time you're at the park the shutter may well be open like today.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_231063 Saw some workmen with Intamin clothing on today heading into DBGT - that means severn-lamb, Simworx and Intamin have all been spotted around the attraction now! I've learned never to believe anything like this posted here on the 1st of April April fools or nah? (not that this seems important enough to be worth posting as a joke but just checking) May have been mentioned before, but today a shutter to DBGT was open directly opposite the x queueline fire exit, and there was what appeared to be a very thick grey metal track like structure? Any ideas? as applies to this
April 2, 20169 yr comment_231076 Only a cynic would suggest Marc made up the Intamin staff sighting to drum up website traffic...
April 2, 20169 yr Author comment_231088 Honestly it's not a 1st April prank They were heading into the gates around the side - if I see any Intamin people again and can get a picture without looking too strange I will
April 2, 20169 yr comment_231183 Didn't Intamin do the Moscow Monorail system? Pretty sure they made the moving floor walkways you see in airports too. Interesting, as the track that is visible did look like it could be some sort of walkway or flat moving system May have been mentioned before, but today a shutter to DBGT was open directly opposite the x queueline fire exit, and there was what appeared to be a very thick grey metal track like structure? Any ideas? This is 100% true and is visible from the top of Slammer, left hand side. It does look like some sort of walkway, but its definitely a track
April 3, 20169 yr comment_231236 This all seems very interesting, especially if both simworks and Intamin are involved somehow. I'm actually wondering something though. I hope this attraction will be OK for blind folks. I went to fright nights one year and, well, came out feeling really disappointed and not just scared. I like being scared, but... every room sounded the same. Then there was Chessington's mystery of hocus pocus hall where every room moved along a story and also sounded different, it was such a better experience for someone who can't see. About dbgt though, much like the rest of you, I'm wondering how much will be vehicle and how much could be other elements.
April 3, 20169 yr comment_231285 The building looks very ominous and intimidating when walking up to it, also, on the posters near Colossus there is some sort of track in the bottom right that doesn't look that much like a train track to me. Any thoughts? Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk
April 4, 20169 yr comment_231380 Can someone please put the height of the building into perspective for me - give a rough estimate in meters or ft? A photo won't really work for me as my screen reader will just say the word graphic. @ChessingtonSam thanks for that last post, instead of just putting a photo you gave a sort of description of what it contained. It really helps me imagine things a bit more, and lets me speculate with you guys a bit. What sort of tracks were on the poster? I'm assuming train tracks to be paralell ish, but am I right in thinking that the poster has more... well... random looking tracks? Not straight at all? Or is it just a different style of straight track?

A photo won't really work for me as my screen reader will just say the word graphic. I believe the warehouse building is around 10m and the shed is about 7m
April 4, 20169 yr comment_231386 Can someone please put the height of the building into perspective for me - give a rough estimate in meters or ft? A photo won't really work for me as my screen reader will just say the word graphic. The main part of the building (the warehouse) is about 10 meters high and about 35 to 40 meters long. The other part of building (the red shed) is just over 7 meters high, but about 70 meters long. So it's nowhere near as high as X, for example, but a fair bit longer. Hopefully that helps!
