Hey guys just wondering, how did you guys like this attraction? I remember being little and being scared what was inside the ride. But the see through window of the spinning panel on the floor and spinning barrels looked like a worth while trip. So I concured my fears and went through. This ride is one high class portable funhouse Ive seen in a while.

I don't understand how this is a portable fun house. It is just to big inside, and to long and wide, for me to be able to belive it. I always thought the ride had a building the size of the other fun houses. (not including HH, it's way to big to be judged beside the likes of the mirror maze and pirates cove! ) Is it really a trailer, or is my memory of the ride a little, what's the word for it, um, [glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]foggy[/shadow][/glow]Does anyone have an overhead photo where the ride's trailer is visable? If you do, could you post it on this page?

It is indeed portable. And, as a matter of fact, the Pirates Cove was originally designed to be portable as well. Trimper decided to build a concrete structure for it, though.

The ride is portable, the back is a steel panel building, and surprisingly it isn't that big.

True, the attraction really isnt that big at all. The roof is made of canvas, and the entire front is nothing more than a huge platform that actually gets disassembled in the winter. This attraction was built for a traveling carnival or the like. Trimper just happened to build a wooden platform where the majority of the attraction ists year-round.

For anyone interested, below is a picture of this attraction during the winter when it is disassembled. Notice the front platform is not there, and the facade is gone to the warehouse.

I think everything can be made better with theming.
Add some arabian music playing around inside.
In the one room with the strobe, paint some genies or ghosts on the walls. Add a bubble fogger.
Sound effects and music can make ALL the difference.

I think maybe have sort of soundeffect like the Pirates cove where its like stormy winds, and sounds of the unknown. That would work for most of the ride, it gives off a sense of mystery and what will happen.
