I just noticed on the park map next to the "NEW 2016" symbol by DBGT, there's a sign saying "STAY OFF THE TRACKS". Do you guys think that's a hint or nothing to look too much into?

Wouldn't look too much into that personally ? , it could just be some promo ?
Anyone else think we are looking at Friday 13th as a hopeful date ?

Don't know if this interests anyone, but as the TTSP group left after Nemesis Inferno BTS, we saw several engineers from Figment heading into the attraction. Probably fine tuning the VR? This was quite late on it must be noted, 8:30 at least.

Just some thoughts about the pre-show; presumably the "presentation's" main function will be to explain to guests how to fit the HTC Vive headsets once they get into the suspended carriage, so that this process is as quick as possible. As part of this, it'll no doubt give further insight into the attraction's narrative, including the justification and explanation for the headsets.

I'd like to see a engineer actor explaining that the the headset is your "decontamination goggles" to stop "dangerous fumes". (On an other note, Burger King should of made a ghost train burger in the vein of the nemesis soft drink or smiler pizza)lewis97 wrote:Just some thoughts about the pre-show; presumably the "presentation's" main function will be to explain to guests how to fit the HTC Vive headsets once they get into the suspended carriage, so that this process is as quick as possible.

What late summer openings?
I believe summer nights have been cancelled this year, sadly.

I was just walking in a shopping centre wearing my DBGT hoodie and saw it, just a thing to point out really.JonDoesTT wrote:Are these in all Burger Kings or just a few? Seems like an odd place to advertise. The only reason I can think of for this is that there's a Burger King at Thorpe..Horras64 wrote:
Onto the opening date, I think we'll get some news this week, and I think it'll be on the 20th or 27th. I don't think 13th because they've left it a bit late to announce it'll be opening this week, I think they'll announce 2-3 in advance and hopefully some news this week. IMOP especially with the Facebook and Twitter posts.

Yeah it does seem to have gone quiet. I was hoping for news this morning. Derren is on tour in Bristol this week and Ireland for 2 weeks after, I was thinking he would want to be around for the opening so I was really hoping for an opening date this week.

The Independent have a new interview with Derren about the attraction. Although there's nothing majorly new, if you had any doubts about the extent of his involvement he says "I was shovelling coal yesterday, so I've been very hands-on throughout" :P
