May 15, 20169 yr comment_234730 I agree with you! But I just think he is an all round attractive guy to be honest
May 15, 20169 yr comment_234743 I definitely am on the path of him sounding like a really possessive parent protecting his baby Though to be fair..... "This definitely feels like my baby, but it's a scary baby that's a train and it terrifies people." - Derren Brown 2016

May 15, 20169 yr comment_234745 Noticed that the advert appeared on ITV1 about 15 minutes ago, so that answers the question of whether it's gone live.
May 15, 20169 yr comment_234747 Advert was shown during the ad break on Celebrity Juice last night too
May 15, 20169 yr comment_234766 According to a guy called Dilan working on X the ride is finished and it's just staff training/ testing now. How much of that is true I don't have a clue but thought I'd slip it in.

May 15, 20169 yr comment_234771 Yer I would have to agree there ! , I'm sure they would have to go through all the rehearsals with the cast and ride staff training, so it's all perfect for opening day. !
May 16, 20169 yr comment_234786 Got an email this morning from the Retail Department, a limited number of Levitating Ghost Trains are now being reserved for those who pre-registered.

May 16, 20169 yr comment_234795 Just to add, the email also said the following message: Quote "Due to the limited number we are only offering these to you as you have registered your interest and are the first on the list. These will not be released for general sale for the time and will be held for those of you who wish to purchase one." It also said they can be held by the park in the Ghost Train Shop for up to 2 weeks ready for you to collect and purchase. Hopefully that will be it time for when the ride actually opens!
May 16, 20169 yr comment_234807 I'm desperate to buy a levitating train! I just don't have £50 lying around to buy one. What does look promising, is that it says that they will not be release for general sale 'for the time'. Hopefully this is hinting at the trains going on sale eventually to everyone, but they want to keep it limited edition for the time being!
May 16, 20169 yr comment_234808 I am very interested in the train and would most likely buy one. However, the last time I visited Thorpe was on the friends and family day and the shop wasn't open, so I couldn't register my interest. If thorpe allowed people to register their interest online, I would. It would be a bonus if they were able to post the levitating trains as well as I am not sure whether I would be able to visit thorpe during the rest of this year.
May 16, 20169 yr comment_234809 You could register your interest via Facebook messaging and email (like I did). It's only those who registered early on at the moment as they only have part of the order. Those further on the list will either receive emails if these trains aren't claimed or more come in. Patience is a virtue, wait and you will be rewarded!

I just emailed Guest Services and they have added me to the list.
May 17, 20169 yr comment_234818 How do I get a levitating train ive wanted one since photos and in this case I do have £50 I NEEED IT !!
May 17, 20169 yr comment_234820 Sorry if this has previously been mentioned, but on the website page for DBGT the number of people per train has changed from 60 to 58!
May 17, 20169 yr comment_234821 I wonder if in the testing phase they've found that certain seats don't respond to the VR very well or something, I can't think of many reasons why the number of people would change.
May 17, 20169 yr comment_234822 Slight reduction in throughput? Panic everyone, tear up your tickets, shred your passes. it's the end of the world!
May 17, 20169 yr comment_234823 There aren't very many reasons as to why the seat number would suddenly change like that, unless (as previously stated) the VR isn't working on those two certain seats. The length of the ride on the website has also been changed from 13 minutes to 10-15 minutes.
