I also had a problem with this "green gas" part... it can go on for minutes and barely anything happens! People were confused and taking their masks off.
If it's a filler, then the filler needs to be more entertaining than a screen of green gas with nothing to look at. Or maybe just don't bother with the filler, and the ride finishes when it finishes. If we have to wait a minute or two to offload at the end so be it.... better than starting at a green gas screen with everyone confused!

You'll suffer with me if its not open on Sunday since I'm going then. It is open because of Thorpe's tweets and pictures, as well as Derren Brown's.jonny9403 wrote:I'm actually still in denial that it is open. And that I'm riding it Sunday

The only thing I can think of is they might think having "Derail your mind" in the advert may bring to mind the accident at M&Ds in scotland where the coaster derailed. That might put people off going to theme parks altogether, so probably not the best thing to have in a theme park advert at the minute.DanSUFC wrote:Great news that it's finally opened, hoping to visit at some point this year! Just a small side note, anyone notice that in the re-uploaded advert this morning they've tweaked the advert slightly again... and now instead of "Derail your mind on a Ghost Train like no other", it now been very obviously edited to say "A Ghost Train like no other".... why have they removed the "Derail Your Mind" slogan, or have I missed something glaringly obvious?

Sooo...I accidentally Ghosttrain. Had a meeting down in London which got cancelled last minute, so I snuck in a quick trip to TP.
Without spoiling anything, I can honestly say the wait was worth the wait. The buildup, VR tech and actors where quite convincing!
I do have a fear of empty tube trains now though...
Definitely recommend giving it a go, unless you get scared too easy (like myself).

I understand that it's like that while it's been in technical rehearsals as I had that when I went on it on Sunday.
But glad to see that it's finally "officially" open as it's such a fantastic experience
