Unlike anything seen before, the 15-minute Derren Brown ride will leave visitors questioning where perception ends and reality begins
Thorpe Park in the UK is taking the Victorian theme of its new Derren Brown ride to a whole new level, rolling back entry prices to the equivalent of a shilling – just 12p (17¢, €0.15).

The special offer – limited to 1,871 tickets to represent the year in which Derren Brown’s Ghost Train is set – will be active from 10am on 25 March through the Thorpe Park website for a maximum of four tickets per person to use at any time until 6 October.

The promotion was announced to celebrate the launch of the new ride – Thorpe Park’s largest ever investment – which has been set an opening date of 6 May. Unlike anything seen before, the 15-minute interactive experience will combine a number of elements including live action, virtual reality, grand-scale illusions and next-gen technology to create something which will leave them questioning where perception ends and reality begins.
