An obvious way to batch people through isn't it? https://www.merlinannualpass.co.uk/membership £12 a month sign up now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An obvious way to batch people through isn't it? Space would be one major limiting factor I'd guess. The attraction is still effectively a narrow corridor with the occasional open space for the scenes. Fitting in doors would be awkward (not impossible mind, but just awkward). Equally, I don't think it would work or make it feel any better. With Hex it works because you have a payoff at the end. I personally think walking through a corridor, being stopped at a door, watching a scene, and repeating 4 times before being greeted by a mirror maze wouldn't work and would feel very tiresome. I guess the answer is from a creative standpoint, the positives would come with as many negatives, and at an extra cost and effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already have automated fire doors between scenes (or at least Hocus Pocus did and it would be part of regulations for this to as well) so it would actually be pretty simple to have gates or something along those lines. The reason is probably cost. I think it would be awkward but would at least make the format work, ideally they should have ditched the stop and watch format altogether and just have a jolly good walkaround Ringo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
