I think the tube station or London underground definitely has an influence on the theme if not the actual theme. In clue 5 if you look closely at the background you can make out the structure of the tube train, it's very distinctive it cant be anything else.

Also I think the green might have something to do with the district line because it's green on the map of the tube

^ You have to watch it at 7:30am/pm - 8:30 afaik.

Is it possible someone who can remember the clues create a separate topic on how to do them?!

At one point somebody did, it was locked quite quickly...

I do hope the ride/attraction is highly fear-based. Whilst I know that they have the mazes on Fright Nights, i hope this serves as a much better version of Nemesis Sub-Terra, filling the gap between Fright Nights and normal season.

Yea i dont wanna sound like a scrooge mcduck here but lets not just give away the answers. Clue's fine but if any of us actually want a chance of winning lets not make it easy for anyone to enter! :)

Well honestly who here worked them out for themselves?! I think when the next clue was available someone posted it here and we all logged onto mindswanted to complete it.

Some people may be into solving clues but most just want to see the clues for themselves. And its not as if we would be forcing people to follow instructions how to do those clues if they were in a topic of their own. Its just that there is a growing number of late comers who just don't know the clues and hence we are seeing repetitive posts in this thread.

Edit: Seems the next clue is now early new year & the final clue is now end of January. Not sure why clues have been delayed and pushed back in its marketing but its not the first time.

I wonder if the delay of clues is actually a clue?

More than likely just not very well planned & thought out as I highly doubt the GP will be thinking delaying clues to be an actual clue.

The clue arriving at platform 6 is approximately 2 weeks late, please make sure you take all of your belongings with you, Merlin would like to apologise for any inconvenience and hope you have a safe journey. We also advise you try to ignore the creepy clown in the corner who wants to eat you.....

It could just be that they want to use pics or video of the actual ride building or ride system or something and construction has been slightly delayed?

I have managed to miss clue three... can anyone help at all?

Also just thinking with project Whitechapel being linked to the Underground, would it be plausible that the arrows to one of the clues (UU DD LL RR) could be directions to lead to another station/ part of London? Tower Hill is only 2 stops south on the District line. Could maybe fit with the haunted/ phobia theme? Thoughts?

Where have people seen the reference to 'bellows' in that last video? I've watched it about 20 times and I just don't see it, what am I missing?

The first round of articles after Derren Brown was said to be involved is awfully similar to how they wrote about The Smiler, hopefully this time around Merlin got it right.
A new roller coaster promises to terrorize thrill-seekers in a whole new way after it was designed with the help of psychology experts and scientific researchers.

But it is the roller coaster's psychological effects that are set to push thrill-seekers to their limits, and the designers promise to 'blur the line between illusion and reality'.

Thorpe have just tweeted this, I'm guessing it's for clue 5 as either a way of showing how to get it, or a way of suggesting what it means. I'm not sure, but it's still interesting.

The thermal image along with the short flash video & this statement in the tweet are all tied together nicely imo and are the biggest giveaways yet.

Yeah, the clues are gradually revealing more and more each time too. Also, did the date of the 6th clue get pushed back? I'm guessing as it took a while to make the flash video, they've had to postpone it from mid/late December to "the early new year".

Here is a full image of the clue as it looks like its been cut of in the image above. It is not clue 5/6 (What ever number we are up to now). It is a very intruiging image. I have no idea
