Doom & Sons,
was Alton Towers first attempt at a haunted house style attraction.
We use the word
'attraction', as it wasn't a haunted house in the traditional
sense, where you would sit in a car, and travel around the
house. It was located on the side of the Around the World
in 80 Days building, which became Toyland Tours.
This was a much
more interactive experience, where you could see, hear, feel
and smell, while you walked around the house. There was ultra-violet
light, used to great effect, with soft floors you would sink
into, doors which you could open, only to be confronted by
a rotting corpse, feet, and legs hanging from the ceiling
with the bodies hidden in the darkness.
Many people
mourned the loss of Doom & Sons, thinking it better than the
newly installed Haunted House in Gloomy Wood. The new Haunted
House was made a little tamer, as children could be easily
scared by the features in Doom & Sons.
