The Haunting is a Verkoma Mad House ride at Drayton Manor, themed around a paranormal investigation team who visit an old Priory and end up getting velcro'd to the ceiling by the bored Count of the Parish.
Built before Hex in 1996 and widely regarded as the first Mad House in the United Kingdom, the special effects and technology put into the ride do cease to amaze you as it's original serious purpose was to psychologically test you with scares and frights. But since then, the original purpose has vanished in a puff of unoriginality as the ride has become cheesy and laughable, the phrase So Bad It's Good comes to mind as enthusiasts admit a loving affection.
