The Haunting

[Themeparksandy1981]

Doesn’t look like any work has been done on the ride yet

The exit door was locked so couldn’t see if they done more to the black room. They also started to empty the cafe next door so that could be getting done for the 2026 season.

Not directly Haunting related, but I recently managed to find a music library that had all of the tracks that it's sister, ride Verlies Des Grauen (Dungeon of Horror) at Belantis in Germany uses! So, with some free time, I decided to recreate the soundtrack! A near 1 on 1 copy.

So, enjoy the music of The Dungeon of Horror everyone!

Thats so cool how did you do that?

And this might be a stretch but do you think you can recreate some of the OG haunting sound tracks?

Ah, sorry. Had to reupload it due to an error with the audio.

Here it is again! Enjoy everyone!

And @jakelovethehaunting i don't think I could make a mix, but...

I didn’t realise how much sampling / stock music was used in the original, was used effectively though. The other example I know of is the choir in the Chapel which was used in the London Dungeon too.

That’s the one!, Brilliant, Must’ve been a pain going through all the libraries!

ETPA has shared some cracking photos of the ride from 1996, most are unseen!, some have been seen but in lower quality.

Really shows the state of the exterior in recent times.

Wow! Just wow!! Look how nice the queue used to be! And the Institute Lorry! Looked loads better in grey!

Funny how the least changed scene is the Corridor. That's practically identical to how it was in 1996 apart from the newer UV lights and the additional skeleton at the end!

Love how clean the library used to look aswell! Quite eerie personally, in a good way! I do miss seeing the Vicar Portrait without the projection.

The chapel looked loads better with the gravestone cross! You can actually see the other side XD. Bet the talking skull was pretty cool too!

Wonderful photos though! It really did look phenomenal when it opened! Absolutely wonderful! These made my day!

What do you guys think the park will do for its 30th anniversary?

It’s very strange seeing how visible the facade is in its earlier years, so much scenic detail on it, looked very authentic and slightly cartoony in ways which is interesting.

The IMR lorry looked really cool and sleek when it was in that colour scheme with the hazard stripes, looked like it had much more of a presence in the area than the current version. The institute logo replacing ERF’s is such a nice detail.

Nothing really stopping the ride from looking this great again. I suspect it would be an expensive undertaking but I’m sure most people would agree it would be 100% worth it!

What do you guys think the park will do for its 30th anniversary?

Nothing, probably.

 

[jakelovethehaunting]

Nothing, probably.

Isn't the lorry being replaced?
