    Appreciate that AT are introducing a new ride, but I couldn’t help thinking as I watched that video just how out of date the technology is compared to what goes into some of the Disney/Universal parks. For those fortunate enough to visit some of the parks in the US, I’m sure you’ll agree that this just doesn’t cut it. Anyway hope it’s a success!

    • @DomDoesCoasters

    • @benxyb2791

      You need to remember that Universal and Disney attract millions and millions of guests every year (sometimes upwards of 10 million to each park) whereas Alton Towers only attract a little over 2 million. Therefore, they make far less money. This ride will definitely be one of the UK's top dark rides, and I'm sure it will be a huge success for the park.

    The UK parks need more of this thing if they can get the theming right. UK has awful unpredictable weather, if it has dark rides that can be used regardless of the weather they'll see more people going.

    So it’s a slightly updated 1930’s Pretzel Ride, of the type used everywhere! Whilst it’s the theme ing that makes them, the world has moved on. Trackless dark rides are the way to go, allowing the rider a different ride experience on each ride.

    My problem with dark rides in this country is that the money and the care are not put into them. Merlin are MASSIVE in the entertainment industry and SHOULD be competing with Disney and Universal. But that being said, you don't need to put Disney level money into a dark ride to make it incredible and amazingly immersive. Look what Chessington did in the mid 90's with 'The Terror Tomb' or very early 90's with 'Professor Burps Bullbleworks". They had world class stories and themeing with Animatronics. Not projections or TV screen animating what's going on. That's lazy themeing. Unfortunately Merlin doesn't put the effort in and therefore dark rides in this country are disappointing. Anyone too young to ever ride 'The Terror Tomb' at Chessington before they lazily turned it it a light gun ride should watch the ride on TH-cam to see what's possible even on a budget in the mid 90's! Search 'The Terror Tomb Chessington'
