Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon

[MattyMoo]

It's times like these we need Jart to clarify things.

Re: Coming Soon - If you say a date then that date will be packed and all other days quiet, if you say soon, then people will not all aim for the same day.

[Coaster]

Derren definitely says July in the video. Will not be impressed if it is delayed by over a month!

EDIT: Actually I think he says "hope you enjoy", not sure though.

[MattyMoo]

Yes he says "Hope you enjoy it"

[StevenVig]

I think you all need to calm down and not take everything so literally, don't read into it so much. *rollseyes*

 

For anyone that wants to be technical, we have 2 weeks and 4 days until this is due to open, so it defiantly is 'Coming Soon'

It's the change of "coming May 6th" to "coming soon" that has people worried, the fact that they have changed what they are saying.

[Owen]

I think it's only natural people are worried, especially when people have paid £150 plus to stay over. So it's understandable that some are quite worried about the change.

I'm personally not too worried as I don't live far from the Resort and I'd prefer the attraction to be finished to the best quality it can be. However, I can definitely see why those who are concerned would feel that way.

[Nick Hutson]

They still had shots of the sign saying opening May 6th.  If this wasn't the case - they wouldn't've done that

 

Plus: 

 

[MattyMoo]

That's grand!

 

By the way, I'm no cynic, but I think the reactions in that CCTV footage are staged.   

[Dodge2002]

I know it's not likely, but the Vive headsets have been suffering big shortages and shipping delays. There's always an outside chance this could cause delays if Merlin didn't negotiate a special contract with HTC.

Here's a press release and a close up photo of the demon...

[Owen]

I believe the girl cleaning the bin is an actor at THORPE PARK, and it's likely they were staged - still cool seeing the demon in action!

[StevenVig]

The video was probably filmed the same day that Derren was on park and spotted at the gift shop, as he is wearing the same outfit

[Owen]

The article below was shared on THORPE PARK's Facebook, it states that the demon is actually an animatronic as opposed to a person in a suit! Amazing!

[Ian-S]

Not surprising given how many times it's going to be hit/kicked

Although the majority of those reactions in that video look staged, the guy with the phone looks like he's crapped himself until he realises what it is and starts laughing.

[swooddow]

Yer I think the reactions where staged for the video , but its still doing a great job at building atmosphere and anticipation for the ride! 

 

I hope on opening day they will have actors roaming in the ride area , and maybe even a cheeky appearance from Derren Himself ? That would be amazing ! 

[Ian-S]

Didn't someone here work out Derren was performing in Reading that week?

You could cycle that distance, although Derren be Derren so he could just teleport himself there.

[MachoMachine]

He's playing Woking next week as I'm going on the 28th, but from the 1st until the 9th he has nothing else on so I'd expect that's time for this

[400400]

It's the change of "coming May 6th" to "coming soon" that has people worried, the fact that they have changed what they are saying.

Would you rather they opened early and unfinished. Like the big flop ?

[MattyMoo]

Keep an eye on our inboxes chaps and chapesses, the lucky 1000 people in the 12p draw will get their emails by midnight tomorrow night...

[Ryan]

Stop crying would you rather they opened early and unfinished. Like the big flop ?

I am not crying. I completely agree with you, I was explaining to Steve why some people would be upset. Please, don't be so rude.

[ThemeParkCrafter]

Has anyone received any emails yet?

[swooddow]

nothing yet, presume when they do come around fb and twitter will be going off! , as well as on here also !, fingers crossed ! 

[ThemeParkCrafter]

Reading the terms and conditions, all four tickets have to be used on the same day.

[mah boi]

Has anyone received any emails yet?

If I remember correctly, the original e-mail said that the draw would take place at mid-night, where people would recieve e-mails shortly afterwards if they won.
