I hope the management can tend to the Count's condition. His left eye isn't opening easily anymore, and he doesn't move his head around as much as he used to. I just don't want him to simply--fall over dead one day. He is the perfect greeter for the Haunted House; I don't know if anything else could take his place.

The Count will be 15 years old this year. The majority of the problems reside in the pneumatic cylinders in his mouth and in his torso to make him swivel left to right. There are also small cylinders in his eye lids. These parts are indeed replaceable. Whether or not they decide to spend the money is another question. I would like to see him overhauled with new attire and all!

Was the inside of his cape originally red? If so, it has faded to a pretty sickening orange!

I hope management does save The Count sure its going to costly but Come on the count has been their Attracting riders for 15 years and in my case [shadow=purple,left,300]The Haunted House[/shadow]wouldnt be the same without The Count. Also What would you want to see the Count fixed and still their greeting visitors or something new that visitors might not like?

After seeing Mike's 1998 pictures of the Count, he really looks different today...

Ha! The camera actually took some good pictures! I have one thing to ask, though: if you're taking pictures within the picture of your family standing by the fence......then who took the picture of your family?

My Aunt took the one with me in it; with a normal camera too...

At one point, didn't the count's arms have motion? Like in the facade Video Brandon posted. The Count's head is bobbing up an down isn't it. I thought he had a lot more motion then just the torso and the the face.

it would be awesome if they got the count to look like one of those audio- anamatronics like the ones at Disney

In the 1996 video, it looks like the Count is having a blast flinging his head all over the place! And yeah, I think it did move up and down a little awhile ago. It was almost like he was too energetic for the Haunted House when he was working fine!

I know for a fact that members of the Trimper family check out the forum every now and then, so be sure to post things you think may help or update the park! I am positive they are happy to hear the feedback!

The exit sign has had many locations over the years! Even when it's right in front of riders' faces, some still can't figure out how to get out.
Is the Count's left arm (not with his head in it) still sticking as far out as the pictures farther above? It seems to have been pulled in closer to the body.
