I'm liking this "behind the scenes" series

@slashismyhommie8182 3 жыл бұрын

I think it's a bit boring. Like a cheap dark ride filled with defunct rides and things you find at a common Halloween store. I give it a solid C+ overall

This for me was like a warm hug 🤗. As a kid every (EVERY) Summer was spent at Knoebeles Grove. I've always loved the Haunted Mansion with the exception of that dang horn ( every freaking time lol). Thank you so much for getting a behind the scenes look of this. I live in KY but my heart is in Knoebeles.

Wonderful video! I grew up in SE PA and absolutely LOVED going to Knoebels every summer. We would camp in their campground, frolic in that glorious pool by day, and hit the amusement park in the evening. And some of the most helpful and friendly staff anywhere; glad to see the tradition is going strong.

The tour guide loves his haunted house, and so do we. What a fascinating behind the scenes look at a nostalgic favorite. Thanks for making this video that we can enjoy again and again. Got a great big smile on my face the whole way through. Only 12 when I first rode it, but at 58, I still can't get enough. You can tell how much passion went into this creation.

i love behind the scenes stuff, very fun. these things take me back an old carnival ride of questionable safety and dubious maintenance and craftsmanship regardless of the ingenuity required to keep it simple, where the dark is not only used for effect, but also to hide how, well, cheap everything really is when the lights are switched on. this one looks just like a blast with layers of history piled on making it a real rare treasure. it's charming and reminds me of a bygone era. well, at least computers are good for *something*....

What they also do is a behind the scenes tours for folks when they have an auction, where the highest bidders get a tour of the Haunted Mansion & the money raised goes to a wonderful children's organization to help out children. They've been doing that for years. How k👀l is that !?!
