When it first opened you would get raised up, the doors would open and you'd be staring at a darkened wall that looked to be covered by ficus. Then you'd drop. A good drop. Next you'd be raised all the way to the top, the doors would open and you'd look out on the entire park. And you'd look. And you'd look. THEN YOU'D DROP. All the way down. A great drop. Now you drop more often, but they're much smaller drops and the frequency is nearly constant such that you don't really get that "stomach rising" sensation. You also don't get to "look out" anymore. You go up, the doors open (or are already open) and before they're all the way open you're dropping again. |

I took my kids to W'burg Busch Gardens for Halloween one year--they spook it up pretty good starting about dusk. The teens at the park really get into it--I recall walking towards a wall to take a sit-break, and my 8 year old son was beside me. The (apparent) inanimate clown sitting on the wall winked at me as my son and I sat down, he next to this "clown". After a few moments, this clown suddenly turned and hissed flashing a wicked toothy grin at him. I thought my son had pissed his pants, and he nearly knocked me over trying to backpedal. We still get a charge out of that. I recommend one of these fright nights to any who love Halloween!

What made this memorable for me this year was my 6 year old exclaiming "That was SO not fun" after it ended. |
