hello all my friend has discovered something very interesting and exciting about what the ride may come out to be and a pleasant surprise to everyone about the projection mapping look very careful at this video by conductr very similar scenes from curse and an concept art appearance from the grand hall!

I noticed haunted mansion/ phantom manor's stretching room in their digital mockup so I'm not sure how much of this could actually make it into the ride and how much can be conceptual but there is definitely concept art for the grand hall there

It would seem more like a birthday party if that banner didn't say "Happy New Year".

Spoiler

Interesting. One of the press releases mention a New Year party that has gone wrong.

My dad spotted this advert on a local bus earlier...

Too many coincidences regarding the makeup of the company and the concept bits we see in that video for them not be involved in some capacity. If what looks like the Grand Hall art turns out to be legit I'm excited to see that in action.

There’s also digital advertising in Liverpool city centre, I forgot to snap a picture but they seem to be going national with the campaign which is good !

There's adverts all over Manchester for the ride, including really cool lenticular bus adverts where Emily moves as the bus passes you! Just a short walk from my house I passed 3 buses and 5 digital adverts, they're really going for it!

Bodes well I think they are making this much fuss. It must be good.

1 week to go for me.

On the advertisements the ride vehicle is shown:

Been given permission to share this, here are the restrictions for TCAAM;

---

As expected, the height restriction is a minimum of 0.9m with those under 1.1m requiring an adult. And unsurprisingly filming and photography is strictly prohibited, and hopefully they'll enforce that this time (cough, Gangsta Granny).

On the advertisements the ride vehicle is shown:

Looks like they're keeping the old look of them, so they'll look as to how they were in 1992 probably, if they haven't changed the front that is.

They were enforcing this on my ride on Gangsta Granny in July 2022, so they must have corrected their mistakes there.

And although there are just two people in the back there does appear to be space for a third, confirming 6 seats in total (there are three people in the front).

 

[QTXAdsy]

I'm interested to see how different the ride cars will be here other than they are back to being six seats again. Would be surprised that given major changes with the ride that the ride cars remain unchanged, not that I wouldn't mind personally as they are very well themed ride cars that I feel are timeless.

 

[Ryan]

It'd be great to see the cars without the books prop on the back...unless they've been retained for other electronics,

perhaps on-board audio?

I didn't know Banksy was participating in the marketing XD (That's a joke lads)

It must be good. The Curse at Alton Manor already has an average score of 5 out of 5 from 5 reviews on Google reviews!

Nice to know there are some genuine psychics who can see into the future...

Sure this wasn't the same crowd who gave DBGT the same rating?

Isn't it genuinely nice to see the house being used in modern marketing.

I haven't thought of it as an icon of the park in quite a while, but it really is!

You show me a psychic and i'll show you a fake!

@djtruefitt you may want to do a social post with the ride restrictions, the person who gave me permission to share them said that they want people to see them before it opens.
