The length of the ride on the website has also been changed from 13 minutes to 10-15 minutes. They've always advertised it as 10-15 minutes haven't they?

I've heard 13 before somewhere I think. maybe the average experience out of the 12 avaliable is like 13 minutes, but some run to 10 and some last 15?? not too sure. does that mean people who you've gone on the ride with will exit at different times to you?? or something?? weird yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website did previously advertise the duration as 13 minutes but has now been changed/updated to just 10-15. 13 minutes may've just been an average length they established initially, and now the ride length varies somehow?..

Description states " THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND 13-MINUTE THEME PARK EXPERIENCE " Fact Sheet states " DURATION10 - 15 MINUTES " So as you say, may refer to the average, or simply a play on utilising the number 13 for a Ghost Train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Hutson Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I think they probably use 13 because it's a creepy number to use in the description - where as it will last anything between 10 - 15 mins - into which 13 falls quite neatly in the middle.

Joester Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Prehaps its varied as it counts on people walking through the attraction at different paces? Perhaps that could alter the amount of time it takes to get through the attraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I imagine it varies because the different routes and endings are not all the same length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 The 10-15 minutes could also be there because the time taken to put the VR headsets on and adjust the focus will vary from group to group. So maybe 13 minutes is the expected time, but depending on each group, it could be quicker / longer. Having the ride time carry depending on experience / ending sounds like an absolute throughput nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Throw seats may have been removed due to wheelchair access, or on the other hand there may be 60 seats overall, but only 58 or these can be used by the public with actors in the remaining two (we know this will be actor lead like I'm A Celebrity) and so it was changed to avoid confusion? Who knows, I guess with will have to find out in the next 10 or so days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 They've probably started advertising it as 10 - 15 minutes, to cover their arses for when they cut 50% of the experience in the future.

Mitchada04 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 The opening date has been staring us in the face the whole time. End of May, 31st May it is! Like we said, overthinking it when in reality that's what Derren wants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Allgood Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 If it's now 58 per train does that mean it could be less if there's a wheelchair onboard? I'm thinking 58 is the maximum per train. Then there could be a train that's 56 to allow the space for a wheel chair... All of this throughput talk has made me find this gif...

Owen Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I do like how people are already expecting the ride to have cuts in the future when they don't even know how far the conponents they're expecting to be cut will be used. Loving the positivity! In all seriousness Saw: Alive was becoming a nightmare to run and if they had it continually open it would loose its appeal for FRIGHT NIGHTS. That's the only area I can remember actors being cut. The actors are still used in I'm A Celebrity as its essential to the experience which I would expect would be the same with the actors inside the attraction. Derren has said the attraction won't feature scares as seen in horror mazes and so I'd be willing to bet they will be used in a similar way to IAC where they guide you through - this is backed up by the job listing stating they will be used in a similar fashion. Sometimes I doubt if people (certainly not everyone) even want this attraction to succeed, as all I keep seeing is constant bouts of negativity toward it, and it's future. Wait until you've been on it to pass judgement - otherwise you are just firing shots in the dark.

HeavyMetalPirate Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thorpe have said that X is going to be closed for a few days due to essential maintenance, could this be anything to do with preparing the ghost train? just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Based on the fact X has been having a tonne of issues recently I'd think it is related to the ride (referring to X for those who are seemingly confused), not to mention there is an access path for Ghost Train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Or it could literally be essential maintenance? Just because there's an access path there, doesn't mean that X is shut for DBGT If that was the case, what you are saying is that every time they need to use said path, X will need to be closed.........

Rach666 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Does anyone know why so many rides have, and continue, to be closed for "essential maintenance" since the park has opened this year? Saw was closed for nearly a week last month! Surely this should have been completed whilst the park was shut? Apologies for going off topic - just curious...
