Very exciting stuff, but all I keep thinking about with the sheer amount of bins in the queue, God knows how many bin bags the ride will go through! :lolTheme Park Guide wrote:I've heard through the grapevine that yesterday bags may be have been going into the bins around Derren Brown's Ghost Train. Does this mean we will see it open today or tomorrow?

We'll see but don't get too excited by this, some eagle eye watchers last year saw staff doing the same with The Smiler. It has to open soon anyway but don't get hopes up just in case it isn't this weekend.Owen wrote:Theme Park Guide on Facebook have posted -

This is the problem with a dark ride, there's so little to speculate we've turned to bin-bags :lolOwen wrote:Theme Park Guide on Facebook have posted -

Oh I'm not worried if it opens this weekend or not, as I won't be getting on it for awhile anyway! :lol
It's more the fact Merlin Magic Making have now seemingly left the site that is a stronger indicator of opening soon.

People are getting hyped for the final details being added to the visible ride area, and rightfully so - people have been waiting patiently and it's in touching distance!
In more eventful news, a tent has been set up outside. Photo credit to TPM.
I smell a media night...

I'm hopefully going to Thorpe in July, so let's hope it doesn't get delayed again and opens soon.
My curiosity is very high and the longer I wait the more I wonder!!

Just a thought...
Maybe that tent could be somewhere for people to register their interest in participating in technical rehearsal and checking in when it's their time to ride?
And Owen that looks a little small for a media night :lol

I don't know if its an isolated glitch to my computer however, when I click the "Coming Soon" text on the Thorpe Park homepage on the DBGT graphic it is instantly loading the buy tickets tab. This suggests to me that the tab has been linked to a "book now" format but the link hasn't been renamed yet. I don't know if I'm looking too far into this but it seems strange.

This has been doing this for awhile now (at least for me) - it's quite irritating to be honest! :lolAltontowersbarlow wrote:I don't know if its an isolated glitch to my computer however, when I click the "Coming Soon" text on the Thorpe Park homepage on the DBGT graphic it is instantly loading the buy tickets tab.

I think it's either for a media event, or they are temporarily using timed tickets for the ride, as has been rumoured, and this is where you go to get them.Owen wrote:Not really, the media groups walk up and register their name for a badge - it's quite often at many parks only a small tent is used.

All we can do is.........
I'm sure this will open soon, i am hoping and praying. But hopefully the pop up gazebo is a sign that an opening is very close. If Derren was going to be there, chances are he won't sign books etc. He will officially open the ride and then wait for the first people to come off and see their reactions and then probably a quick photo shoot and then home, but it is quite unlikely
