We made it down to Lagoon, and Talia got her first taste of the Dark Rides…
First was Terror Ride.
Now, Terror Ride…there is just something WRONG about it. From the beginning. The sign tilts off kilter with it’s skull and blood dripped letters…

Then, there is THOSE THINGS. A witch, and a skeleton, that open and close shutters leaning out to stare at the patrons.

To the two year old, this is enough to overpower even the comfort of a chocolate chip cookie…

Then there is THE MURAL.

There is something…OFF…about that mural. Always has been.

The odd skulls, the wierd dancing guy in the background, the illogical combination of characters…something.

UNFORTUNATELY. I was still learning the camera operation at this point, and we didn’t get a good video of the Terroride. They’ve changed most EVERYTHING in this one since I’ve last been, and things were coming fast and furious on sides differing from the past. The thing is even more chaotic and fast hitting than before now. We’ll get a good video next time.
Talia got off of the Terroride wanting to go find mommy, most definately not wanting to ride again. However, she happily called “bye-bye monsters” as we left, and got really upset later in the evening when I had told her we were going to go ride some monsters (Dracula’s Castle), but walked BY the Terroride. “Monsters!!!”
Next was Dracula’s Castle.
Dracula’s Castle has this darn owl out front that makes REALLY bad jokes…
And, while some of it has changed since I’ve been here, things were in the same places, so the video was easier to take.
