The Haunting

Im not sure if its just me however the audio on the haunting is extremely poor, quiet and tinny in the chapel/madhouse and the smoke needs topping up in the chapel as there didnt seem to be any other than them two things everything else was working
 
1000058374.jpgthe haunting is in a really bad state at the moment it is showing its age the smoke not working in the cellar only one speaker working and signs falling apart

Drayton, I hope you're reading this, because it breaks my heart seeing one of your best attractions rot away like this, and one of the Last Space Leisures rides still in its mostly original form.

Please Drayton, don't let this classic fall into disrepair. This country has lost too many already. From Bubbleworks to Pirate Adventure, don't let this one get added to that list.

Sincerely, a concerned fan.
 
Look at the queue the Haunting was getting yesterday
IMG_0329.jpeg
It went back to the main gate and on the screens was listed as a 75 min wait. Spoke to the poor girl who was the host and they said the ride had a bad year with effects not working, staff leaving (who really wants to walk round the same building all day) so they couldn’t add any more staff to the ride.
Staff now in the skeleton corridor just press the button and walk straight into the library which gave a few jump scares to guests near the middle of back when the smoke machines went off.
The library the speakers really need to be replaced and hidden as it sounded awful and you could clearly see them.
The sound in the mad house has now been sorted and was loud and clear.
When I was on it yesterday I had to much time on my hands but maybe I’m thinking to much into this but frontier falls is Set in 1850 100 years before the park became Drayton Manor Park but to get round that you supposed to believe they found a area that dates back to the late 1790’s which can be believe able with the age of the building and the library video but for us to believe that was stepped back from the 1850’s to the late 1790’s they need to get rid of the B&Q metal shed and the equipment inside.
Also the trailer needs to be themed as part of the building with the cabin maybe removed or boxed in to look part of the house. Then the inside of the trailer themed to a cellar or basement.
Also they should use the Sheriff who was used in the promotion videos of Frontier falls in a new video shown in the trailer and have cowboys go into the building instead and then in the library above you have the former invention team dressed as cowboys instead. Then at the exit remove the yes or no buttons and screens.

That picture was taken 15:46 and we were 4th from the front then. If my son didn’t love the ride as much I wouldn’t have joined the queue. We joined at 15:20 and waited 5 mins to the 1st group went in, then the next group went in at 15:40 and we went in at 15:55 and was off at 16:10.
