After Drum & Bass started getting extremely boring to me in late 2002 I started listening to other types of music that I had forgotten about such as hard techno and all the various types of metal. One metal band that stands out in terms of artwork is "Death". The first thing I thought of when I saw the the art on "Scream Bloody Gore" was Grandpa from Castle Dracula. I wonder if thats what this band was going for? Did they see Grandpa and think "Holy crap that guy is cool!", I know I did. If your not familiar with this album heres a link to the artwork: If that doesn't work theres always discogs: www.discogs.com/viewimages?what=R&obid=559038

I always thought that stunt was kind-of lame for such a cool hallway. I thought they could have had something a bit more climatic there...and not a guy getting electrocuted.

He was operated by a simple gang box light switch too.

He was indeed the second coming of Reily. Hey how about this? I'd like to have giant speakers installed all over the universe, and then constantly play Black Sabbath, just like in Hell! NOOOOoooooooooo!!!! I just watched the world get ripped to living shredds by a bunch of flying cannonballs.

I don't know, I'm still having trouble coming up with a mega haunt attraction that would actually work. But since Wildwood is on the verge of having large hotel/condo towers being built (like 25 stories high) then theirs no reason why a 25 story or even possibly 240 story high dark ride on the former Castle site or on one of the closed piers. This new dark ride would pass the Sears Tower as America's tallest building. To be continued...

Stupid Internet, tried to paste a artistic rendering of this project from my computer files but it won't work. So, I'll describe it in brief:
Let's just say the money could be raised to build a new haunt attraction on the WW boardwalk, or maybe even somewhere else. The project could be produced through McLunatic Enterprises and would probably require a joint partnership with another Amusement and Construction company. I would design the structure to reach higher then the Sears Tower, which would also make for a good observation deck on top to look at the Ocean. 243 Floors she'll stand above this old world. It will be a new wonder of the world.
So... how can we use this space? I'll find a way, we'll have an army of designers utilize every square inch of the structure. The first floor will be where the entrance is, guest will enter through a giant Pennywise the Clown mouth, from there they will stand in a waiting room as the line moves through, in the waiting room Dracula will appear from behind a giant fireplace and bellow out a speech (that i'll shall write next time i'm drunk) and then proceed to scream some more. As all this is happening a frankenstein will appear out of nowhere and drag the weakest looking visitor into a secret trapdoor. Then the rest of the guests will proceed into the room where they step into the Cart. Now, this cart sits seven people and is designed like the Wonkavator from the chocolate factory (which by the way has been completely recreated on floors 87-90) And this ride cart shall be painted with skulls all over it.
The ride begins!! You are thrust 10,000 feet into the air in the blink of an eye because the first part of the ride is like one of those new sling shot super rides on Morey's pier, except it's much higher. So the twist is the ride starts on the 242nd floor and works it's way down in gradual looping spiral. You also have to get out and walk/swim/climb/crawl through certain levels. Try to get through level 206 quickly because I'll be there. Now, I haven't completely conceived every floor yet but I will allow Brigintine/Long Branch/ Castle Drac fans to completely recreate those old attractions between floors 45-53. And anyone else who wants to lease certain levels to build their own sets is more then welcome to. We'll also need about 20.000 or so actors so Former Dark Ride actors should consider inquiring.
What do you guys think? I've got almost $24 in my pocket and a couple piece of wood and some paint who wants to build a super haunt!

Some more idea's...
Floor 68: Is all designed with props and scenes that refer to Stephen King novels and Movies. Pennywise the clown will be there and may just take the form of your worst fear, which what he does (great book, okay movie) "They all float!" Next you will be attacked by Cujo, and then thru the Pet Semetary where sometimes "dead is better" Next riders will be treated to a first encounter with the Langoliers as we stand still and time moves ahead. After that you will try to avoid being mowed down by a red Plymouth Fury named Christine. Assuming anyone survives all that they will then proceed to the next level:
Floor 69: You will appear in the overlook hotel hallway where Jack Nicholsan (if he agree's to at least) will chase you with an axe into the bush maze.
Floor 70: Now this level will be like a modernized version of the Hitchcock manor. You will be ordered by ghost of Alfred Hitchcock to go into the shower and wait for further instructions. After meeting Norman/mother Bates you will stagger out of the shower and into another room where you will look out a window thru a telescope and see some unpleasentness. You will then walk across a long skinny piece of wood, but don't look down because it's a 70 story fall (vertigo) And then onto a train where a stranger will propose an interesting trade, it all ends on wild merry go round ride.
Floor 71: Floor 71 isn't so interesting because we had to rent it out as office space to help pay for the building, but we at least got all the business folks to dress up as vampires to make it feel Haunty.
Floor 72: Ah the food court. Treat yourself to Ye olde favorite boardwalk eats! Cotton candy, pizza, funnel cake, french fries and of course Salt water taffy. After finishing the meal you chose the chef will come out and inform it was all poisoned and you have 10 minutes to locate the antedote on the 73rd floor.
73rd floor: Ah the scavenger hunt! Look quickly for games and prizes, and most importantly the antedote.
74th floor: For those who found the antedote you will continue into the rock n roll hall of fame. Animated robots of rock stars will sing some songs. David Bowie playing TVC15, Iggy PoP playing "Sister Midnight" Mettalica playing "Fuel" and even some live music if anyone books the stages.
75th floor: Onto the animal safari. Lions and tigers and bears "Oh my!" But beware, none of them are in cages or locked up. Since all the beasts roam free you will be given a sword and a shield "good luck!" (how do you think we feed all these animals on a small budget)

Perhaps some of the 3000 level floors could be throwbacks to the good old days. Keystone Kopx stlyle electric muppets will be singing "It's a Mad world after all" over and over again until a great wave of Atlantic water washes away the great Jersey shore, and all her secrets. "Good bye fare maiden, goodbye forever"

Floor 32 will be a giant indoor stadium where vampires and zombies will play a variety of sports before feasting on the audiences brains. Floor 33 shall be like the old Jungle Land ride of former Hunt's Pier. This Jungle themed ride will be filled with a real jungle, real tree's, real tigers, real everything. Basically it will be a living version of all the fake scenes from Jungleland. Floor 35 will be Jurassic Park. It shall be filled with (reincarnated) Dinosaurs that are not behind fences and are rarely fed anything but tourists. Floor 36 will be nothing but a bunch of doors that lead to alternate universes. Floor 37 was rented out by the McLunatic Mental Health Group, we allow mentally disturbed patients to live on this floor for free if they promise to dress up in Halloween costumes and remain crazy. Floor 38 will be like gremlins 2 in every way possible. Floor 39 will be the torture chamber, the demons from the Hellraiser flicks will show you new worlds of pain and pleasure, all you have to do is open the little jigsaw box. Floor 39 is where all toys that turn on their owners are sent, there was roughly 30 of em last time I checked, but they do breed all the time.
