Apologies if this has already been covered before, (which I imagine it has.) but does anybody think that AT/Merlin will restore the original Haunted House. With a lot of the old props and theming still in place, this wouldn't require too much work and money and could easily make a good short/medium budget attraction. Also, they are some good cases for it to return.
Interestingly, the park have placed back up some of the old effects and props that were removed when Duel came. Such as the hand in the jar, self-turning book and the “Are you afraid of spiders?” sound effect. Could this be a sign? Duel live, when it came to scarefest was a pretty popular attraction then.
These are all just ideas at the moment, but I really would like to see it make a comeback. What do you guys think?
- Duel, which has been mentioned on other topics, has become more of a warehouse, than a haunted house. You can see light coming through off the emergency exit, in the station. This really makes me cross as it destroys the experience completely for me. There is also the general warehouse roof and girders, which are visible when not using your blaster. Mind you, we all know Merlin love their warehouses and sheds.
- Half the effects on Duel are not working most of the time and need some attention. When I last went on Duel, the spinning tunnel wasn’t spinning
- General opinion is that the HH was much preferred to Duel. Not just enthusiasts but the general pubic
