� ![]() The new interactive dark ride by the Sally Corporation has opened at Lake compounce this past season. Sally has taken old fashion black light technology and combined it with modern computer game technology and theyve come up with a terrific new family ride for Compounce. From the installation to the execution, this ride
is incredible. A two story Victorian, Gothic style building, with a Mansard roof, houses
the ride and several concessions. It is built into the side of a hill with the The house, known as Bleakstone Manor, is overrun
with ghosts, and this seems to be bringing property values down in the area. The area
residents have hired Professor Phearstruck, who has invented a boo-blaster, which sends
ghosts out of the house when they are shot with it. Guests are to do their best at
eliminating ghosts as they travel The actual ride is quite long and has many rooms
to travel through. Each room is beautifully designed and illuminated by remarkably
well-hidden black lights. The stunts seem simple at first, but when you start shooting at
them and eliminating them, more ghosts come to take their place. If your riding partner
and you are good shots, then all Hell will break loose. The more targets you hit the
wilder the targets become. You soon find yourself with hundreds of ghosts to shoot at. At
a point about halfway through the ride you emerge outdoors briefly and re-enter the
building through In spite of its ghostly theme, this can definitely be considered a family ride. It is never gruesome and is often quite silly. The surprises are mild and the whole experience is very entertaining. The traveling system, though twisting and turning is very smooth and gentle. It is the perfect thing for grandparents to ride with their grandchildren and well worth the wait in line. � Back � This article �1999
