Fright Nights

I have been to a theme park turned into a fright nest fest this evening with friends. Walibi World is a famous theme park over here with rollercoaster attractions such as the Goliath and Robin Hood, of which I rode the latter at night.

Fright Nights is simply a number of october nights where a Halloween theme is playing. Six scare zones are created, which inhabit the likes such as scarecrows, zombies, rednecks, dead spirits of the los muertos festival and of course famous horror icons.

A horror mascot named Eddie the Clown is used to be the face of these events. His main event however is standing at a podium doing his show, but his voice isn't effective, and he's more or less the only dissapointing thing we experienced.

The best attraction we did was the new haunted mansion of Jefferson Manor. Similar to what I experienced back at the Hollywood Studios in California, it also had horror actors playing their acts in order to scare you.

Psycho Shock was the second haunted mansion we did, which was basically more of the same and also a little bit short, except the former had a ghost theme playing and this one more or less a mental institution with a mad scientist.

Haunted mansions or houses are more or less awesome anyhow. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to play an actor all night, either inside a building or outside a zone. My Billy the Puppet portrayal of last year was only a taste of how entertaining it could be.

Perhaps...I can envision a futuristic opportunity.
