Only just seen your post, do you know what other recycled props there were? Im interested to find out what happened to the original stuff.
Apparently the dolls house was given to the fan who wrote that Amazon haunted house book.
In general, what theme parks do with old props is a bit of a conundrum. Selling means they become trophies for highest bidders and it gets out of hand. Binning is a loss when some these older props are really interesting crafty items from the entertainment world.
Best practice with other parks around the world is to archive and record them and bring em out for an occasional exbo, or securely destroy them as the attraction they were intended to be part of doesnt exist anymore.
Efteling and Disney do it really well
Hey all, is there any rumours of any tweaks and changes for this season? I’m so excited to get back on.
Let’s hope it doesn’t have as many problems as Spinball did last seasonI believe the ride is having a new control system fitted over the closed season, which is why it wasn’t open for the Run event in November or the Christmas season.
Not sure about new effects though.
I was one of the lucky ones who got one. Only 2 left on the shelf when I got mine!Normally I'm not a fan of theme park resins (ok, so maybe I have a Hex one) but I'm really hoping the Curse resins are back in the shop for the 2024 season. I wasn't lucky enough to pick one up last year and there's no way I'm paying scalper prices on eBay.
Do they still have the heat on for going through the fireplace?In the morning there seemed to be far too much smoke being pumped out towards the end of the garden scene and the start of the dolls house scene. You could hardly see some of the props!
On my first go yesterday you just got the lights and on the second I got heat, lights and smoke. So it's still temperamental.Do they still have the heat on for going through the fireplace?
The amount of times I went round and round the thing last year with my kids a bit of smoke would add a bit of fun to make the ride different for me
I noticed the projected hand reaching down effect that is translucent was not on yesterday. That's the only thing I noticed that didn't seem to be working.
When I rode it yesterday the effect was on. I don‘t think it‘s too bad to be honest especially when you compare it to the likes of the skull projection.I noticed the projected hand reaching down effect that is translucent was not on yesterday. That's the only thing I noticed that didn't seem to be working.
went on it today, it is backI noticed the projected hand reaching down effect that is translucent was not on yesterday. That's the only thing I noticed that didn't seem to be working.
