Ghost Train is a dark ride attraction located at Thorpe Park in Surrey, England. Manufactured by Intamin, MDM Props, & MDM Create, the ride combines motion simulation, visual illusions, multisensory special effects, and live actors to present a narrative-driven experience. It is themed around a haunted railway station set in the mid-1980s, in which guests assume the role of passengers boarding the final train service to an abandoned crypt. It first opened in July 2016 as Derren Brown's Ghost Train, then reopened as Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise Of The Demon in March 2017. The reimagined Ghost Train opened in May 2023.
