I think this has been around for ages! The Haunted Mansion's Cast Members are not allowed to smile and the Dungeon's actors (though it may have changed now) were always told to be a bit "rude" to guests. I remember going up to the Kilimanjaro Safari at Animal Kingdom having a fast pass boo...

I wouldn't be surprised if they add a Smokehouse BBQ in the area, too.

Ha! That'll be the contrary motion chromatic scale.

Thanks!

No IPs are going in. However, I think the James Wan films are brilliant - (SAW, Conjuring, Insidious, Dead Silence, etc). Universal are the IP people now - which is a shame - as they once did brilliant original mazes. I am disappointed they're, once again, doing a Halloween Maze, the Exorcist maze ...

Still don't get why people say "on park". Anyway... It was open for an hour yesterday so I wouldn't expect anything major as it is nothing different to what we have seen before. They still had to sign NDAs and they were told the attraction is still not complete. Will be interesting to see ...

I think because the attraction relies on actors - they probably want to do it during the day whilst they're there as opposed to pay them overtime. Also - it's also for the actors' benefit that they get as much rehearsal time with the audience as possible - so there are more hours in a day than in a ...

No more water rides.

It'll be a woodie.

What late summer openings?

I believe summer nights have been cancelled this year, sadly.

Yes. This has always been more of a show; as it's a theatrical presentation - more so than a ride, I would guess. Derren has always been saying that from the beginning. Experience! :) Also - show is always used to describe indoor attractions - as it contains controlled show elements such as lighting...

The ride board says: Derren Brown’s Ghost Train is designed to test your mind to its limit with an ongoing theme of distorted reality. Dark scenes of twisted perception feature strongly in this deep psychological attraction. The Ghost Train features virtual reality, special effects, illusions and li...

And is that a creepy little girl on the top left?

Some interesting things, then.

50 Steps.
Live Actors touching you.
It's dark and scary

Why would they have a shop outside a shop?

Because no-one can foresee issues with construction, health and safety, external testing, technology, signing off, actor training, re-writes, AV installation, show edits to ensure better throughput.. This happens so much in the theatre and theme park world. It's painful to say - but we just have to ...

As much as I didn't want to like this ride, I can't help but look on and think how beautiful it is turning out. Never before have we had an attraction in this country that's so detailed. It's not in the league of Universal but it's great to see a lot of effort has been put in to make this attractio...

At least we will never see POVs

Nothing new of significance, but here's a video from ExposureDigital summarising the success of the MindsWanted campaign. https://vimeo.com/163804296" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Couldn't help but mention a couple of pointless world firsts when not required but that's Me...

No. This is a completely different system and all the reviews of HTC thus far in the gaming and tech world have far surpassed the samsung system. The joy of the HTC comes from the practicalities of it - not so much the graphical implications. https://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/articles/27-03-2016/HTC...
