Henry M Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 At the end of the day, it was just a fun competition, and at least 1871 people did get a 12p ticket. At least those who were really keen and were there before 10 got a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry M Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I have been told that I can go on a tour of Location J at Thorpe park, but have no idea what location J is. If anyone knows, that would be very helpful to me. Â Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis97 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thorpe Park issued the following statement this morning, announcing a delay in the opening of Derren Brown's Ghost Train.  After careful consideration we’re moving the opening date for Derren Brown’s Ghost Train. This attraction is a completely new invention and we are making final tweaks to the remaining elements to get things absolutely perfect. We want you guys to have the full mind-blowing experience from the very first time you ride! We will post the new opening date here as soon as we can, so check in with our social channels for updates. Please know that this decision was not taken lightly as we know some of you have booked tickets to ride in anticipation of the 6 May opening date, and the last thing we want to do is disappoint you. If your ticket falls on a date before ride opening then please e-mail customer.services@thorpe-park.co.uk and our team will help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StealthFan Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 ^Shame that they've had to delay the opening, hoping that it's ready for when i go mid June though! Â I feel sorry for Derren Brown more than Merlin/Thorpe or anyone at the park. Derren Brown is a man who produces shows with incredibly high standards of quality and production. From what I have seen of the shop and the ride exterior I personally dont believe they are at the standard I would expect from something with his name on it. Don't get me wrong the interior may blow my mind away and I will happily eat my words if it does but the sad reality is the delays will be related back to Derren not the park just due to the fact his name is plastered all over the thing.

Henry M Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Does anyone have a clue as to when this is going to open? Thorpe park really need to give an opening time as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dar Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 They don't "need" to do anything. I think they should just open it one day. Invite the press and that's that. They get a freebie day where not many people know it's open, to iron out the operational kinks, and whiny enthusiasts get to come on here and whine that they didn't get in the first batch.

StealthFan Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It does amaze me how many people are desperate for an opening date. I would happily wait until next year if it ensured the ride was completed correctly and to a high standard. Yes I understand they did say an opening time and the ride was delayed but that happens with most construction projects in all walks of life. Â Even with the ride closed at least they have opened the shop which has some pretty cool stuff such as this Derren Brown Fortune Teller!

Henry M Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 In non Derren related news, Rush has been running really badly this year. I know over winter they did some server maintenance work on it, which basically meant taking it to pieces. However, this year both arms don't even reach vertical, and this DOES affect the ride. Normally Rush and other S@S swings are really intense and have tonnes of airtime. I had none of this, and actually thought (I never thought I would say this) it was boring. Does anyone know if this was done deliberately to reduce costs or if it is being resolved, because I am sad that such a good ride is ruined.
