So DBGT is a ghost train themed ride including VR and live action scenes. That’s all great and fun to a degree. This very much advanced ride has came with it several issues and inconsistency when it comes down to reliability & breakdowns. It has become a ride we no longer enjoy or desire to experience.
What This Ride Should Of Been?
It should of been in our opinion a phantom Manor styled attraction or even a trackless dark ride. Of course using the VR still but in a more eerie manner. Simply have selected sections of the ride with VR and the vehicles coming to complete stop when the VR experience has added then the ride continues with 2D / 3D theming & screens. That could of created a very eerie and unnerving ride experience. The unknown of what’s to come once the VR is off your head. The style is now is quite impressive with the whole illusion of the carriage hanging by chains. That’s quite genius and really fun. But it feels more of gimmick the ride then a eerie ride experience.
They could of implemented the live action areas for the pre show or a post-show after the ride experience. There’s so much which could of been done to make this ride perfect. It didn’t have to include such advanced technology which almost seems wasted given the reviews always been mainly negative. A simple ride system full of eerie theming and effects could of worked perfectly fine.
