Hmmmm. From the art concept, it has a "usual" lift hill in the framework.

Quite the "Loop-de-Loop" I see. Tall and impressive.

Hope the design works out, and the coaster is epic.

EDIT: Just saw that "tilt" towards the queue from the station exit. Brilliant!

Say your final farewell...

Depart the mortal world on a one-way ticket beyond the veil into darkness on THORPE PARK Resort’s newest ride experience – Ghost Train. But watch your tracks, death is always one stop ahead.

This next generation of Ghost Train will take you on a harrowing ride into the realms beneath THORPE PARK Resort to where the supernatural believers call home. Ghost Train is one of the UK’s longest ride experiences featuring live actors and multisensory effects to create a terrifying attraction like no other! 

There’s nothing virtual about this petrifying experience, so prepare to meet your maker as you come face-to-face with horrors that dwell within.
