Did it have much merch? Even in 2003 I can't remember there being any...I may have missed something, but I assume they've flogged off all the stock for cheap in the shop?

Might not even shut on the 6th, we could be looking at a teaser/announcement then.

Queue line is now spilling out toward the crypt and app is reporting 25mins.
They should threaten to close it more often!

Duel pin badges are all gone, Spooks R Us pins sold out last week.
Magnets and keyrings still available - at full price.

They were discounted earlier this year, they probably pulled up the prices before the announcement because they knew they would sell.

We've already had two teasers (the poster and scrolling sign), and the way the former is worded points towards the ride closing on the 6th. As I said before, we'll find out on the 7th as it'll be closed if everything is true.Might not even shut on the 6th, we could be looking at a teaser/announcement then.

Interpret this how you wish, but I got chatting to a very friendly member of staff on resort today. I happened to mention I was here to have a final ride on Duel and their response was “Final ride? You’ve got 5 days yet!”

Kinda bittersweet really that the ride is having a small burst of popularity before this version of the ride is finished, not seen such attention since it opened given the queue times.Queue line is now spilling out toward the crypt and app is reporting 25mins.

Actually, given how everytime I went to Towers that the longest waiting time I had was 5 minutes, anyone know what was the longest queue time the ride's ever had throughout it's life or if one certain time you remember?

Not a problem don’t worry!Oh I get you! Sorry, slight mis reading on my part. Although it is good information for anyone to know I guess.
Yes the new documentary still in the works, I expect early next year. Very excited to share this one with everyone
I queued longer than that during a busy day around Easter '03. It's actually a great queueline - you never stop moving and it's very atmospheric.The longest was 60m on the 31st October 21.

I am assuming the data goes back as far as they have been collecting it from the API.

Yeah Duel Live was set up well with the Butler at the main doors only letting small groups in at a time. We joined when it was going back up towards the Runaway Mine train. Was worth the wait.It had over an hour when it ran as Duel Live! for Scarefest

If they see it's become popular this week they probably won't bother refurbing it now
