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

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
May 17, 20169 yr comment_234834 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.
May 17, 20169 yr comment_234835 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.
May 17, 20169 yr comment_234836 I imagine it varies because the different routes and endings are not all the same length.
May 17, 20169 yr Popular Post comment_234855 58 instead of 60... the driver and conductor have to sit somewhere.
May 18, 20169 yr comment_234867 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.
May 18, 20169 yr comment_234873 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!
May 18, 20169 yr comment_234876 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. Actors, Pre-Shows etc

May 18, 20169 yr Author comment_234881 Just now, StevenVig said: I'm going to screenshot this, we'll see for the future Feel free - I just think maybe we should look forward to experiencing the attraction when it opens instead of assuming things will be cut in years to come?
May 18, 20169 yr comment_234883 Now less than 2 weeks left of May... that advert better be right This just appeared on YouTube:
May 18, 20169 yr comment_234884 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
May 18, 20169 yr comment_234885 Can't see them opening a ride on a Tuesday, personally... not the "done thing". You never know though
May 18, 20169 yr comment_234892 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...
May 18, 20169 yr comment_234897 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.
May 18, 20169 yr comment_234898 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
May 18, 20169 yr comment_234900 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
May 18, 20169 yr comment_234903 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.........
May 18, 20169 yr comment_234904 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...
