[2023] The Curse at Alton Manor

Wouldn't be surprised if Emily Alton has retaken the house from the zombies and put a curse on it. That's two Towers dark rides that revolve around curses though (a certain tree being the other one).
And the baby in the music box reminds me of the one in the video that was in the construction walls.

The Curse (of all previous rides and attractions coming back to haunt us for not replacing them).
On a serious note, not a fan of that doll

Does appear that they're going down the more spooky/creepy/scary route this time.

I get that vibe too. That doll has featured on every bit of promotion so far - only the peep holes and being sent out to press, but seems a common theme.Does appear that they're going down the more spooky/creepy/scary route this time.

Good. An incredibly themed and scary ghost train is exactly what this country needs. There's way too many off the shelf ghost trains in the country using comedy halloween props and relying on klaxons for scares.Does appear that they're going down the more spooky/creepy/scary route this time.

I also agree with this. I want it be scary. You're supposed to be scared in a haunted house, and Duel was definitely missing that for obvious reasons.Good.

How can you tell anything about the tone of something from a 2 second clip of a doll.
It's not like it's a clip of blood n guts

Well a slap on the face is better than a gun to the head, but I still don’t want it.At least it is a better name than the likes of Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.
At best it could be a subtitle to a shorthand and catchier name

Definitely not that serious, but it feels like something right out from DBGT, which marketed itself as a very dark and grim ride.Spooky dolls JUST like this were in the original preshow

It's something right out the preshow from the Haunted House, literally. Granted the sinister preshow didn't characterise the whole ride but goes to show you can't judge from this teaser.Definitely not that serious, but it feels like something right out from DBGT, which marketed itself as a very dark and grim ride.

Wouldn't be surprised if the full name was "The Haunted House: Curse of Emily Alton". Personally I'd still prefer "The Haunted House: Repossessed", though.Well a slap on the face is better than a gun to the head, but I still don’t want it.
