a man on a screen begins asking them three questions, and a voice from a speaker answers them. Sound effects and a screen at the back of the room suggest that something is trying to break into the room. This cuts the questioning short and alerts everyone to a zombie breach (From Mid-Fright onwards, more sound effects were added to the pre-show. Why they decided to keep it is most likely due to the scares it ensues). The man instructs the riders to make their way to the loading zone. A door opens automatically, which leads the riders through narrow corridors covered with red flashing lights and "blood" smeared on the walls. Riders emerge in the loading room with loud music and a loud air horn sounding at regular intervals. Riders are batched into pairs and board the train which then proceeds upwards on a tire drive lift. After a drop and some twists and turns, the ride comes to a stop and the man from the initial video complains that he cannot start the vehicle again. The ride uses the block section of the track to simulate the effect of the train starting and failing several times, with accompanying sound effects to build the tension. Eventually, the train starts moving again. After some more twists and turns, the train reaches the end of the circuit, and riders are instructed to get off the ride and go through the famous "DONT OPEN DEAD INSIDE" doors. On certain days, actors then start to get up and scare the crowd of people and chase them briefly down the corridor to the end. Features Brake Runs Throughout the ride, there are three mid-course brake runs. Originally, while the ride was X:\ No Way Out, these would stop the train for a few seconds while misters sprayed above the riders' heads (these were removed by 2013) and sound effects were played through speakers, to disorientate the riders. On the third brake run, the train moved backwards (although from a rider's point of view, it moved forwards, since the trains were reversed) by a few metres before being propelled forwards. Also on this third brake run, since the ride was refurbished in 2007, two of the robot mannequins from the old queue line were positioned on the brake run and lit up to give the riders a surprise. These were removed a few weeks into
