Ride: Duel Live

[thegamercatfish]

Does it just turn back into the old haunted house at halloween?

[WumWip]

7:16 scared the crap out of me!

[marcusassab]

I love this ghost train, its kinda scary but its so fun.

[rpones]

this is the best ride everr lol :) me and my mates went on it like 4 times

[lebbin21]

im relly scared of gost trayns do u sugest i go on?

[MrElectricBill]

@lebbin21 Oh, yes, of course. There is nothing to fear but fear itself...

[lebbin21]

@MrElectricBill oh ok tanks

[xXstorminateacupXx]

lol I remember being stuck in the tunnel with one of the zombies in my face because the ride broke down :L

[cel2199]

woahh 1:49 i did not see that comin :D !!

[Cloud6556]

Only thing i can remember about this ride is, strange paintings in the que and a room with a slanty floor, an awesome cheesy theme tune that i was singing hours later, and a twirly tunnel that made me feel rather dizzy.

[MrElectricBill]

@MrLol44 This was filmed during the special Halloween event in 2009, in which live actors were placed around the ride. So the butler opening the door only appears during Halloween!

[roe1999]

2:06 creeped me out

[1996Coaster]

1:58 Susan Boyle? dsf aas uyd dfgss ggf dg s

[LornaLegend]

they spelt plague wrong.

[1996Coaster]

@LornaLegend I noticed that!

[jameshetfielddd86]

restore the old entrance music, restore original portraits and just leave the ride like this, i went on this ride in the 90s and i was terrified, just the entrance really brought up a sinister and foreboding atmosphere

since the laser guns, its sort of gimmicky

[Captainwayner]

ah this had such potential! id love to be in charge of designing something like this!

[THORPEPARKOFF]

Looks better in 2009, the 2010 wasn't particularly good.

[TheAxeMixa]

I love how to the butlers all in charachter but the maids just sais "wait to seconds for me yeah" 2:46

[CCDProductions1]

@TheAxeMixa shes not like that at all :P 

[JAP996]

i went there this halloween, it was brill, but we didnt have to wait that far back to get on. we were just outside the house, but it had broken down so me and my mates were there for like 30 minutes lol.

Brill ride though, makes me feel like im playing L4D but in reality lol.

[SmallAxe]

man im glad i went to the old one when i was a kid, this one looks pretty terrible but its good to see they still have the dollhouse with the hologram of the girl, that freaked me out like hell when i was younger, not scared me just freaked me out, she looks so real!

[listentotheduckie]

@SmallAxe thats coz shes a hollagram,,, a vidio of a REAL person lulz

[demibieber95]

Well, you guys are all like its not scary, but i serioulsy cannot stand haunted house thems rides... I poop myself :/ I was stupid and went in the one at blackpool with freddy cruger lmao :D x

[Altonhaunted1]

Great video! Loved Duel Live.

[TheZombieKiller1983]

those portraits are crap! the original ones were far more scary! I really feel sorry for anyone who didn't get to experience this ride back in the 90's!

[Jinngoo123]

this was crap this year..

[hollysmith67]

i went on this last year with me m8s n they were screaming all the time, i didnt actually find it tthat scary :L

[MrElectricBill]

@jamieduncan1 Not quite, what happens is the guns and targets get turned off. Live actors are also positioned at various points in the ride. They also use different music throughout. This year the are using the theme from Beetlejuice.

[JacKu1100]

are u standin up or sittin down?

[MrElectricBill]

@JacKu1100 You sit in ride cars that take you around in groups of 5.

[EpicDuck01]

DUEL live is so scary! !

[smartguest]

they didnt have the old music back but they have the old queue music back

[moger999]

Is it only me that I can hear "Welcome to the Haunted Mansion......"???

[MrElectricBill]

@moger999 Yes, it is just you. :P

[AHurricaneProduction]

@moger999 I agree this is a copy cat version of Disney for England. They copyed the monorail a run away mine train ride ect......

[Randomvideo123456789]

dont you love smoke machines and strobe lights

[Enk64]

ugh, the ride's still nowhere near as good as it used to be. Good vid though.

[Waggsification]

I hate that stupid bust at 4:02!

[littlemissjonzza1998]

Looks awesome I am going to alton towers in the summer holidays I am totally going on this ridde!!!

[PedroSuperhero]

They turn the lasers off at scarfest to make it 'more scary'  they also spell plague wrong on the grave :L

[truemetalsonic]

during Duel:HHSB LIVE, arn't the gun blasters turn off?

[MrElectricBill]

Yes, they are. The LEDs are also switched off, so essentially it is like riding the Haunted House.

[hayes903]

@MrElectricBill but with zombies

[TheSchemer1]

@MrElectricBill Meh not really, different sound track with loads of zombies popping out at ya.

[nooloo3000]

@truemetalsonic  wht does that stand for

[hayes903]

@nooloo3000 it stand for The Haunted House Strikes Back sorry for buttting in though

[TheSchemer1]

@hayes903 Same.

[hayes903]

@TheSchemer1 don't worry mate every one does it lol :)

[TheSchemer1]

@hayes903 I mean i prefer the haunted house strikes back to duel live

[hayes903]

@TheSchemer1 so you like the normal version of duel where the guns are switched on and the lights are on rather than the haloween version which is like the old haunted house with laser guns (switched off) but still has zombies

[TheSchemer1]

@hayes903 Duel Live has more lighting than Duel HH Strikes Back lol.

[hayes903]

@TheSchemer1 lol what they should do on halloween since duel live is like the haunted house they should take the blaster off of the zombie outside so it looks like it came from the undead and is trying to get you and then inside take the blasters but leave the holsters just incase and then during the ride have the actors all jumping out and every thing ;)

[771cmpunk]

Nice Vids, TTF FTW!

[coolcabbage43]

i think the guns ruin what was once a brilliant ride!

[nooloo3000]

@coolcabbage43 agreed that ride is so advanced for a dark ride

[Flimingow]

i want a job as one of them. Ill scare the shit out of everyone muhahaa.

But the cleaner wuoldnt be very happy with me....

[glacim]

Cool vid, im going here tomorrow! i cant wait and im so gonna go on that ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[coasterollie]

I can only spot 2 actors in the ride. It's too dark to see the others if there is any.

[MrElectricBill]

There were seven actors on ride. It is too dimly lit to spot each one on the video, but they appeared at:

4:04

4:28

4:54

5:41

6:37

7:16 (My favourite!)

7:37

and 7:41

[coasterollie]

Thanks. It was the 6:37 and 7:16 ones I saw. :)

[coasterollie]

Also right at the end when you come into the exit platform. The music and seeing the chandeliers is super atmospheric. :)

Love it.

[xboxlulz]

I love your laugh when you see electric bill at 5:57

[hayes903]

@ 2:47 shes well fit lol XD

[wowky07]

Indeedy!

[billyshoepack]

1:58 is it just me or do they seem to have given the zombie hair a trim?

[MrElectricBill]

It seems to get shorter every year!

[TheSchemer1]

@MrElectricBill Have you seen the zombie at 5:33-ish, he's got new ultraviolet teeth recently.

[MrElectricBill]

@TheSchemer1 I have seen from a few videos that there is now a lot more UV lighting in a few scenes (as well as many other lighting improvments). When I next go on the ride I will surely look out for the teeth! :)

[TheSchemer1]

@MrElectricBill Ok. Also the screaming window zombie on the right has a flickering yellow light as well (hey I rhymed), I think you can see it in the video "Alton Towers Duel FUNNY" though the vid does not have the best quality in the world.

[07ae01]

Why is the music played in the haunted house different from when its normally duel. I anyone has a copy could you send it to me! thanks!

[jking7stealth]

the music is called the goalish garden the old music of duel when it was the haunted house.

[MrElectricBill]

Yes! The Ghoulish Garden music was played in the graveyard queueline, but the music playing in the ride is a specially compsed piece for Duel Live.

[amylouiselarge]

i swear at 2:54 its my old drama teacher?? lol

[TheBooshBabe]

I absolutely crapped myself when it was live!

[nerdsticks10179]

thank god for you

[jamezsatv]

I really like your voiceovers reading out the words on the gravestones - great idea!

[perkyboy13]

Very strange to see it without those godforsaken L.E.Ds (A good thing though)
