The Haunting

[Themeparksandy1981]

Really hope today it has more staff running it as with the queue been outside the gate for most of the day it was on average over a hour wait.

Hopefully the powers that be at Drayton read this haunting thread and decide it’s time to keep it this way we’re visiting today just to experience the haunting so we cannot wait.

Yesterday they were running two shows at once so that helped with the throughput a bit.

The queueline really does look magical at night with all the lights and the smoke effects.

So after they loaded the 1 set of guests onto the ride they were letting the next set of guests into the trailer.

Wow just wow . Such a big improvement all ready. What an amazing experience and the chanting brings back lots of memories.

What’s the queues like already for the ride?

Just nearing the 2nd archway when I was there yesterday at this time of day. I highly recommend giving it a go!

We was on the first ride of the day. We are currently in Thomas land so I’m not too sure what it’s like now

Was short atm as just done it. Really pleased they brought most of the 90s version music back brought back happy memories and much darker then Dr Ghost man version. Hope it stays.

Is the park busy?
I really want to do the ride with the actors.

 

[Paul]

Quite busy , though haunting is without actors until 5pm but if you want close to 90s version you can get ir now with normal haunting queue

Loving the smoke machine and the original music in the queue line

 

[Paul]

I'm doing it again now the actors are here

They did say there’s a technical fault. We are currently in the queue and it is now up and running so hoping it’s fixed. Sorry that you experienced the audio being screwed.

Was there actors inside the building as I spoke to the actor who was in the queue line.

The sign looks good

The only problem is where would they get the staff, Rusty and Dusty?

Okay but I would love a version of the haunting with them two in that would be funny (Family friendly fun! )

Going back onto topic, I'm going to re-post the part I wrote on the halloween thread to keep my thoughts consistent.
The Haunting Reclaimed -
This is awesome! I actually prefer this to the Dr Ghostman storyline we have had for the last however long. Its a great mix of old and new.
Particularly loved the amount of fog used in the attraction, its been ramped up a lot for halloween and it really gets atmospheric.
Was great to hear DR X again and really fond of how the chapel scene runs for this. Got some great creepy vibes going on and it generally works a lot better than the "current" version for the last few years.

Didn't do the version with the actor due to time... however I really liked it this way. If I had to choose between the version all year and this? Definately this! Really enjoyed it

Also, huge welcome back "Agatha"

It may have a longer queue than usual and of course there will always be a wait due to the cycle but I do recommend doing it.

Is the doctor X part the same as it was originally pre 2016? As i remember it quite well
