When
Alton Towers invested millions of pounds in the ground-breaking
Haunted House, a new era of dark rides was born. The spectacular
attraction amazed and spellbound theme park enthusiasts and dark
ride fans for many years, with its breath-taking illusions and
state-of-the-art technology. The original concept was retired in
2002 to make way for the interactive zombie blaster, Duel. However,
the haunted mansion left riders who braved the terrifying
Poltergiest Room and were scared witless by the Grand Hallway's
grinning demon. Michael P.
Eley is one of those riders. Through the pages of this book, he'll
guide you back into the darkness, offering behind-the-scenes
insights into the making of creator John Wardley's 'laff in the
dark' attraction, as well as serving up a brief history of dark
rides and haunted houses.
