'Black Mirror' Attraction Brings Netflix Horror Series To Life Amid Season 6 Wait
Before any “Black Mirror” Season 6 news drops, fans who are patiently waiting can get their taste of cyber-horror at Thorpe Park. A new attraction at the U.K. resort opened up -- a high-tech maze experience that takes “Black Mirror” to new, visceral levels.
The Sun reports that not much is yet known about the “Black Mirror” attraction, other than it will take the visual experience of the maze to the next level. Thorpe Park’s website states: "This unpredictable digitized dimension reveals an uneasy truth that manipulates and displaces your very existence, leaving you questioning how well you really know yourself."
The Netflix anthology horror show is famous for taking things a step further and challenging our world views. The idea of the maze is to apply that to reality with "cutting-edge visual technology and sensory-defying environments," fully immersing you into its world.
After the release of a “The Walking Dead” attraction just two years prior, attendees of Thorpe Park aren’t sure how to feel about the “Black Mirror” one.
There is also a lot of talk about roller coasters, or rather the lack of any new additions. Some argue that they don’t want a new maze-like attraction based on some show, but would rather have a new roller coaster. Others are pointing out the logistical issues with a new roller coaster.
Just like the contents of the “Black Mirror” attraction, not much is known about Season 6. Charlie Brooker, showrunner of the Netflix series, confirmed with Digital Spy that everything is sort of up-in-the-air. “Black Mirror” isn’t a consistent show in terms of how much content is delivered. Season 1 consisted of eight half-hour-long episodes, while Season 2 only had three episodes.
They also released a series one-off called “Bandersnatch” that was a season all on its own and consisted of a single episode with multiple endings, akin to a “choose-your-own-adventure” story. With that said, Brooker isn’t afraid to change things up once again.
"So I don't think there's anything to stop us... we could do one-offs, we could do an ongoing story, we could do spin-offs,” Brooker said.
To access the “Black Mirror” attraction, you only need a ticket to the park, as the maze is included with general admission. We can expect to see it early in March. As for “Black Mirror” Season 6, we may need to wait a little bit longer.
