Interestingly, on the "Get in for a bob" page it states

This special offer is limited to 1,871 tickets, the date in which Derren Brown’s Ghost Train is set (1871). So make sure you are quick to get your tickets!

This just makes it more confusing as we can assume the interior looks like a tube train!

Time travel could be involved I think.

Here are a couple more images taken from Snapchat.

A very nice mug -



The lights used in the shop, notice something familiar?



No? How about now -

There is some really nice merchandise from the looks of the pictures posted today. It's good how it seems to follow the mind games theme too - notice how the clasp which secures the notebook is on the opposite side to normal (on the left instead of the right). I might actually be tempted by some of this merch

THORPE PARK have confirmed on Twitter guests will be able to visit the Ghost Train shop before the ride opens to guests on May 6th.

I saw these earlier, and I'm really excited for the attraction. It is a shame the shop wasn't open last Saturday when I was there; however, I'm really interested in the Levitating Train!

Derren Brown has been spotted on-site this morning.

The 'End of the line' hoodie looks a must buy too!

I think my wallet will be in for a bashing this year due to new merch!

[Owen]

So far I have counted a total of 9 hoodies available.

A black logo hoodie, a black graphic hoodie, a brown cogs hoodie, a grey cogs hoodie, a black/yellow end of the line hoodie, a grey end of the line hoodie, a black/white end of the line hoodie, a fully yellow end of the line hoodie and finally a mind the gap hoodie.

A nice selection indeed!

There is so much DBGT merchandise that I am actually interested in, which is surprising as i'm not normally one for buying merchandise. Love the look of the shop. Merlin's best themed shop ever in my opinion

[Sawboss]

The shop does visually look great, though i'm not buying any merch til I've actually been on the ride. Fingers crossed it lives up to it's promise.

Just as a quick thought, how are the on ride photos going to work if the riders are wearing vr headsets?

I suspect that due to how the ride works the ride photo will not be actually on the ride, but will be some form of green screen opportunity like the park do for I'm a Celebrity. Of course I fully suspect there will be some kind of twist to any attraction photo in-keeping with the theme of the ride

[Owen]

I have a feeling the hut in the queue line originally suspected to be a mid-queue shop will be the photo opportunity. Seeing as a queue line shop has been placed a few steps away from it - wouldn't think they'd have two so close to each other!

On the other hand this would mean Disabled and eventually Fastrack riders would miss out on a photo, and so maybe it isn't the photo op.
