Talk:Haunted attraction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Reasoning behind this page

Just wanted to start the talk page with an explanation behind the idea behind this article. This page is one of the results of a reorganization of several pages related to the topic of commercial and "real" haunted houses, and spooky attractions. This article is designed to encompass all forms of spooky attractions that are designed to that effect. This category includes, but is not limited to, commercially operated haunted houses (whether run by a for-profit company, a not-for-profit charity as a fund raiser, or a religious group using the attraction to convey a message), haunted hayrides, etc. This article should not be confused with the Haunted house article, which is about locations that are "genuinely haunted". The two categories are distinct, if not mutually exclusive. Similarly, there is overlap between Haunted attractions and Dark rides, in that some dark rides are designed as haunted attractions, such as the Haunted Mansion at Disneyworld, or the spook house rides at a traveling carnival. --Reverend Loki 22:59, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

I think the new photo at the top of the page is much better than the old one, but the caption needs to be adjusted somehow so it sounds like it's describing Disneyland Paris's Phantom Man (which is what's depicted in the photo) rather than its stateside equivalent, the Haunted Mansion. I'd do it myself, but I can't seem to think of anything that doesn't sound too clunky at the moment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Henryrothschild (talk • contribs) 11:19, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
