      I think it's a bit boring. Like a cheap dark ride filled with defunct rides and things you find at a common Halloween store. I give it a solid C+ overall

    Thank you so much for getting a behind the scenes look of this. I live in KY but my heart is in Knoebeles.

    i love behind the scenes stuff, very fun. these things take me back an old carnival ride of questionable safety and dubious maintenance and craftsmanship regardless of the ingenuity required to keep it simple, where the dark is not only used for effect, but also to hide how, well, cheap everything really is when the lights are switched on.
    this one looks just like a blast with layers of history piled on making it a real rare treasure. it's charming and reminds me of a bygone era. well, at least computers are good for *something*....

    The Haunted Mansion. I still miss the hanging skull room. It was just a room filled with glowing skulls that moved up and down. It was my favorite part of the ride. A memory from my childhood is before you got on the ride there was a penny stuck in the floor that was a gag. If you tried to pick up the penny you couldn't. The person would laugh at you for trying to pick it up! LOL 😆
