      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

    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*....

    Fantastic video Jake!! It was very nice of the folks at the park to let us see the 'behind peaks'.
    What they also do is a behind the scenes tours for folks when they have an auction, where the highest bidders get a tour of the Haunted Mansion & the money raised goes to a wonderful children's organization to help out children. They've been doing that for years.
    How k👀l is that !?!
