stretchy Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenVig Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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' Glitch and 400400 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Hutson Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 They still had shots of the sign saying opening May 6th. If this wasn't the case - they wouldn't've done that Plus: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 That's grand! By the way, I'm no cynic, but I think the reactions in that CCTV footage are staged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge2002 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Here's a press release and a close up photo of the demon... http://thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/18-04-2016/Terrifying+Creature+from+Derren+Browns+Ghost+Train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3545498/Is-terrifying-prank-Disturbing-moment-Derren-Brown-unleashes-grotesque-demon-unsuspecting-Thorpe-Park-employees.html alexander and adam_sparks1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoMachine Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400400 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) 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 ? Edited April 18, 2016 by Tommy Rudeness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkCrafter Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Reading the terms and conditions, all four tickets have to be used on the same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mah boi Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 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.
