00:00 Oh hello! I think I've just arrived at the Alphaverse in Wake the Tiger, so I guess let's
00:09 go and explore.
00:10 One thing Bristol has plenty of is weird and wonderful things to visit and today I am here
00:17 at Wake the Tiger as they have recently reopened their expanded immersive amazement park. The
00:23 new West Out of This World immersive addition to the world's first amazement park has
00:29 15 new spaces and 1,000 square feet added to another floor.
00:34 So Wake the Tiger has been open for just over 18 months now. It was a brand new visitor
00:40 experience in the world's first amazement park that came to Bristol in July 2022 and
00:46 we had an amazing first year and a half. We had over 300,000 people come through the door
00:51 and we've now just doubled in size and opened the second part of the experience called the
00:56 Out of Verse and that's been open for just three weeks now but it's been pretty much
01:01 sold out. It's been great.
01:03 One of the most exciting things about the new expansion is there's so many hidden gems
01:08 to find. So there's a button here. I don't actually know what it's going to do but I'm
01:13 going to give it a press and see.
01:19 The Out of Verse is a world inside your own mind really and the original part of the experience
01:29 is in this world of Meridia and this dream factory where there's these survivors of climate
01:36 collapse that are trying to fix their world and they through various experiments manage
01:43 to release the gate into this Out of Verse into their own mind to understand connection
01:48 and that.
01:49 Out of Verse is a soul searching, mind bending, limit pushing voyage into the absurd dimensions
01:55 beyond imagination and where your adventure is not just a destination it's a state of
02:00 mind but what actually is it like? Let's find out.
02:05 I think one of the most exciting things about this new expansion is that it's entirely designed
02:10 by local artists in the city so there was a massive team of them who came in and painted
02:17 from all the way to the ceiling to down at the floor and if you look everywhere there's
02:21 something to look at. So for example here you can see that the roof has all been hand
02:29 painted and the floor has too.
02:32 So we were building it for just over a year including the sort of design and development
02:37 process it starts with a small group of us we call it our creative council come up with
02:41 the concept and sort of develop through briefs and ideas and the customer journey.
02:47 Uh oh. Uh oh I'm scared, I'm scared. Oh no.
02:55 That was quick. Only time will tell how the people of Bristol get on with their weird
03:01 and wonderful tourist attraction.
