I was given exlcusive access to a behind the scenes tour of the ride today and can reveal a few details about the ride and some photos.
The ride is to be located in the building behind the Swinging Chairs, it will be accessed from the Africa area, just across from the Runaway Mine Train. The building used house a jungle ride which has been disused for years. Managing Director, Melanie Wood explained that it was shame to have the building doing nothing and with the original track still in place, it was a perfect opportunity to refit the ride into a Ghost Train. The ride was designed and is being constructed by 'MC Seton Animatronics', of which a few of the guys came from 'Rex Studios'. The themeing is being done by 'Studios East Ltd' and 'Golding Audio' are working on the rides sounds, lighting, cctv and ride control.
The ride is expected to launch on April 9th and I will keep you updated with the latest developments.
A selection of props awaiting their destination...
I don't like the look of this shape :8 ...
Amplifiers and general audio gear...
A section of the ride...
Openings that have scary carvings are sure to contain horrors
No, these arent the ride cars, it's a prop for an effect, but you'll have to wait to ride it to see what it does
Abandoned quarries? scary!!
The graveyard section of the ride, harmless...surely?
Shrieksville Manor, this is where your journey starts...
The sign for the ride...Has the slogan...'Dare to enter'!!
These are the cars, all wrapped up and ready to go...
More updates to come
