Now that is old!

On 0:21 you can see the fencing around the last bend of TotC, which they still have today!

You think that 25 years later the likes of the Vintage Cars and Pirate Ship would have been replaced (as well as that fence XD)....

^ I would be very similar to the Riverbank Eyespy at Alton, infact, I actually *think* they're both made by the same company...

I think the cave is a good idea, but its not currently being used to its full potential (I'd like to see it extended really).

I dont know so much about the whole ride being enclosed. It builds up the tension as you slowly float in there (especially if was made into a REAL haunted attraction).

If we can't have the laser labyrinth as a horror maze for Halloween... then why not a Duel-Live (at AT) type live-actor TotC?

As you go round, added effects and live actors scare you - plus the lights could be turned off further and soundtrack changed... ToTC:Live.

I agree big time MrB. I thought of that very thing last night - it would be great if PWH could do something like this for Halloween. Other than just being open and some decorations is there any specific Halloween attractions that they are doing?

Tales of the coast needs a massive lift hill put on it!

That will liven it up a bit!
