Looking at the
house from the outside, it does not reveal the true size of
the ride. The front and visible section of the house is very
well themed, and hides the rest of the ride which resides
in a large warehouse behind the false front. This warehouse
is roughly the size of a football pitch.
You enter the
queue line which takes you through the woods, and some amusing
tombstones in what is designed to look like an old cemetary.
On entering the house, you are treated to some special visual
effects. Look out for the girl in the dolls house, and the
head in the fire. The floor in the house is not flat, so be
careful when walking through. Some
people may think that this is the actual ride, and think they
are in for a walk, but it is really just a continuation of
the queue line.
The ride really
starts when you enter the six-man coffins, sorry carriages.
You may wonder why the carriages have lap bars, but they are
really only there to stop you wandering from the ride. The
ride itself is pretty much what you would expect from a modern
Ghost Train. There are some unnerving moments, some laughable
moments, and one very disorientating moment when you enter
a revolving tunnel.
The ride is
suitable for all the family although some of the younger members
may be easily frightened by some of the more authentic effects.
The ride also features strobe lighting effects.
