Description
Derren Brown's Ghost Train is not a traditional ghost train. The ride portion is split into two sections, separated by a walkthrough section with live actors. Both ride portions feature a London Underground carriage in which guests experience a Virtual Reality (VR) movie, enhanced by motion simulator effects. The first VR section can contain three different possible characters, each acted by Derren Brown.
The ride has three simulator vehicles which operate separately from each other. The entire experience takes place with the same group of guests that are batched into the pre-show, which is also hosted by a projection of Derren Brown. The theme combines a major Derren Brown-style illusion with a modern horror story.
History
In 2017, the subtitle 'Rise of the Demon' was added to the name. Modifications were made to the attraction during this time that included a complete change of the walkthrough section between the two ride portions and a change to some of the VR video shown during the second ride portion. A post-show scene was added before guests depart from the experience as well.
