Derren Brown is opening his own “psychological” theme park ride at Thorpe Park.

Bosses of the park claim it is the world’s first “fully immersive psychological attraction” for a theme park.

Brown, who is best known for his mind blowing TV specials and interactive stage shows, has become synonymous with the art of illusion, misdirection and hypnotism since he first came to prominence with his early Channel 4 shows in 2000.

He promises that these skills, which allow him to both predict and control human behaviour, will be showcased fully at the new ‘themed’ experience, which has been in development for three years and is due to premiere at the park in March 2016.

A team of 1,000 people are working on the 13 minute ride although full details of the exact design and the cost of the ride are not being revealed at this stage.

Mike Vallis, Divisional Director of Thorpe Park said: “The creative concept comes entirely from Derren and we have spent the best part of three years working closely with him to bring his unique vision to life.

"This is our biggest investment to date and over 1,000 members of our creative team and external specialists will be working on the ground to bring the new experience to life.”

TV star Derren added: “The process of creating this new experience has been the most challenging of my career - so much so that it has taken us three years to get the project on track.

"Now we are actually in production, excitement is mounting and we are making the final tweaks to an idea I have wanted to release for some time.

“As always, you can look forward to a heady mix of magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship.

“We are keeping the full details under wraps but I can say that the attraction will take you on a journey like no other, an attraction where no one will have quite the same experience and where the guests will be unable to make the distinction between what is real or imagined.”
