Lasting around 15 minutes, Derren Brown Ghost Train was the biggest investment seen come into Thorpe Park and was in fact the last new ride Thorpe Park seen, prior to Project Exodus work beginning in 2022.
The ride was based on VR and depending on where you sit, would also effect the ‘train’ journey with different video’s playing, so even someone sat next to you would get a different experience.
Over the years of operation, the ride did become problematic due to using VR, with many faulty headsets which lead to frustration as you were on the ride.
Thorpe Park confirmed in January 2023 that the attraction was being rebranded to ‘Ghost Train’ with a brand new storyline without an IP and would also no longer have VR, which hopefully should make the attraction so much better.
