Two life-size Victorian style dolls shocked Londoners this morning as the creepy pair popped up at commuter hotspots across the capital to mark the launch of the world’s first psychological theme park ride created by Derren Brown, coming to Thorpe Park Resort in 2016. Two life-size Victorian style dolls sent London commuters into a surreal spin during rush hour this morning as the creepy pair popped up at commuter hotspots across the capital. The incredibly realistic 4ft 7” high ‘living dolls’ were spotted at numerous venues in London including Charing Cross Tube Station, Oxford Street and Regents Street where they were seen carrying toy dolls and pushing an empty 1900’s style pram… The sightings which led to numerous confused commuter posts on social media were later revealed to be an elaborate stunt by THORPE PARK Resort to promote the world’s first psychological theme park attraction created by Derren Brown arriving in spring 2016.
