Haunted hotel. Great Yarmouth.

The haunted hotel at great Yarmouth pleasure beach is another quite old ghost train. It is somewhat well known for its use of casual nudity. While nothing very shocking it always seems to shock American visitors.

The ride itself is a fairly standard ride. A few nice stunts but nothing out of the ordinary. I had heard that this rude had a very good soundtrack but there was nothing the day I visited.

Terror castle. Brean leisure park. Weston. Uk

Terror castle is somewhat infamous in the theme park fan community. I have herd many stories of what lies within this fairly standard ghost train.

The stories of young children coming off the ride in hysterics needed further investigation.

Arriving at brean the terror castle is the first ride to greet you. It was closed when I arrived and does look like a fairly standard double story ghost train. When I returned after it had opened there were indeed lots of crying children leaving the ride.

So what's inside? Well it is packed full of effects including many vomiting people and many that fall down from the ceiling at you. I have read reviews that say they are all standard off the shelf effects. This is correct but the shear amount if them and the intensity is truly stunning.

This is easily the most intense and genuinely scary rides I have ever been on.

House of horrors. Ghost train. Weston pier

The house of horrors ghost train on Weston pier is rather unique in that you sit in a cage to travel around the course.

It's nothing special as ghost trains go but the addition of sitting in a cage make it rather fun. It also makes it quite difficult to take photos. But I took some anyway.

Psychedelia. Weston super mare pier.

Psychedelia is a very interesting walkthrough on the new Weston pier.
It is a custom designed funhouse based on similar walkthroughs at Oktoberfest.

You wear 3d style glasses that actually make all the lights appear to multiply. The attraction is based over three floors and has some amazing and trippy light effects. The whole thing is accompanied by a great psychedelic soundtrack.

The pics don't really do it justice. It is a truly unique experience.
