Derren Brown plays tricks on workers ahead of launch of new theme park ride

The illusionist is bringing a ghost train to Thorpe Park

Count yourself lucky you don’t work with Derren Brown.

Watch hidden camera footage showing the results of scare tests carried out on Thorpe Park employees by the illusionist, ahead of the launch of his Ghost Train attraction.

The creepy video is the first insight into what lurks behind the carriage doors of the Ghost Train.

When launched it will see visitors enter a seven-tonne, 20-metre Victorian train carriage, suspended in mid-air. Each will wear a mask, allowing them to experience virtual reality.

The attraction lasts 13 minutes, during which they will have several multi-sensory surprises — including sequences where they will take centre stage and interact with actors. There are 12 possible journeys and two different endings, which are being kept under wraps until closer to opening.
