It's awesome the Dungeon keeps updating us with new pictures of the work going on.
Drop Dead as a name is a bit naff really, isn't it? It completely ruins almost the entire point of the surprise drop. Then again, Extremis wasn't exactly that amazing either. Something like "The Gallows" would fit so much better.

I think a good way to surprise people on this to clearly change the name although "Drop Dead" is the literal thing you would do if you died. But I also thought they could echo cockney children singing
"Ring a ring a roses, a pocket full of poises, a tissue, a tissue were all falling down" (and on "down" the gondola drops)
Oh and by the looks of that picture your going to drop more than Sub-Terra and the previous "eXtremis"

I don't see why the drop element has to be a surprise. One is entirely aware of the attraction when you're told the back story of the hangings. Sub terra is meant to be a surprise - and works very well.

Looks like the same 20ft as all of the other ABC towers.

Well, but if that's the case, why go to the extra expense of having a top-loading tower? That surely is one main point of a top-loader, the fact that the drop is concealed.nickhutson said:I don't see why the drop element has to be a surprise.

Exactly.
A Standing drop tower would be fun! (Mostly for the men!)

As part of the build up to the launch of the new Dungeons, "...we will reveal some of the heroic villains of London's past that you will meet..." when the attraction reopens.
First on the cards is Sweeny Todd
It includes an odd little video of them removing this scene from the existing Dungeons (beware, repetitive music...)
Sweeney Todd moves to our new home
Could've sworn there was a fire exit in that scene, seems odd to push the seats through the whole attraction
