The Ocean Zone (Series 4 to 6)

The Ocean Zone was one of the 4 time zones of The Crystal Maze from the Christmas Special - 24 Dec 1992 and Series 4 in 1993 to Series 6 in 1995. It represented a sunken ship from the 1920s. It replaced The Industrial Zone until the end of the 1990s series presented by Richard O'Brien and later Ed Tudor-Pole. Ocean World last appeared in Series 6 Ep 13 - 10 Aug 1995. The Industrial Zone got its own back when it replaced Ocean Zone for the 2017 series presented by Richard Ayoade.

Behind The Scenes
Filming of the 3rd series finished in December 1991, featuring the Industrial Zone. Sometime between early 1992 and the autumn of 1992, the Industrial Zone was dismantled to make way for a much more eye catching new zone. This new zone was to be The Ocean Zone, and it was to represent a sunken ship called the S.S. Atlantis. It is not known when the shows makers decided to replace Industrial with Ocean World but it would probably have been around filming of the 3rd series. They felt Industrial was the least eye catching and also it shared many similarities with The Futuristic Zone. The new Ocean Zone had a saloon, a boiler room and a few corridors. It does seem that some of the walkways and pipes from the Industrial Zone was used to build the boiler room of Ocean World.

Ocean World
