"Okay so, we're going to make a decent scary ride, okay? What are your ideas, Jimmy?" "Alrighty, Listen closely, Alan, Im talkin' HAUNTED CASTLES, SWAMP MONSTERS, SKELETONS, DINOSAURS, SATAN, GRAVEYARD SCENES, AND SOUTHERN GHOSTS!" "FUCK YES."
I rode this as an 80s child and ended up getting scared and I started to panic. My dad told me to close my eyes, put my head on his shoulder, and he would push "the button to make the car go to the end." I did, and just a minute later, we were magically out! I am still impressed by his quick thinking, even though for YEARS I thought all rides had a secret "exit button".
Perfect atmosphere. Spooky but also kind of kitschy and fun. These old school dark rides do it right. I wish Halloween haunted houses were like this, rather than all the torture and body parts nonsense they're all about these days.
I love this dark ride so so much. I can’t exaggerate enough just how smooth and modern this ride is. Your seat actually rotates so you have to face your fears at certain points. The beginning of the ride is amazing as your seat spins backwards and you enter the house down a steep slope. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better dark ride anywhere else.
That was so charming. I love how it hit basically every traditional haunted house element. And so many different effects and types of animation! I really hope I can see this in person one day.
I first rode the original Haunted Castle when I was about 8 or 9 years old. It scared the heck out of me within the first few seconds and I ended up closing my eyes for the rest of it. 12 years later, I returned to Santa Cruz with my father and I decided to give this ride another chance. I knew the Boardwalk had re-done it, so I wanted to see if it lived up to the predecessor. The entire time we were waiting in line, I kept telling myself, "I'm a grown adult, there is no way this is going to freak me out. The last one scared me so much that this one could never live up to that one." I had down-played it so much to the point that this ride completely caught me off guard. I was screaming my head off within the first few seconds once again, to the point that I was literally trying to shield and protect myself in my dad's side (something I hadn't done since I was a little girl). When it was finally over, my dad turned to me a said, "I have never heard to scream that hard on a ride before." This video makes it look so childish. I promise, it's actually pretty terrifying but it has become one of my favorite memories with my dad and I laugh every time I think about it.
One time, when I was in line for this very ride, I saw this older dad and his daughter, right? And so, right when the car started to turn and descend, he screamed for no apparent reason. The little girls face was priceless xD. She was so shocked like it was the end of the world. It all said "BOI WTF" XD
Comparing spook houses to Disneyland's Haunted Mansion is pointless. The imagineers were inspired by these old spook houses , an example would be the old attic..with the ghosts that would jump scare every few seconds. Not everyone has a Yale Gracey and Claude Coates to build a haunted house for them. Some parks wouldn't be able to pay 7 million dollars like Disney back in 1969.
I rode this ride for the first time when I was 6 years old. I was absolutely terrified. I rode it again when I was like 13 and it still felt the same ☠️
Funny story: I had been on the original ride years prior as a kid and it scared me shitless. My dad and I went on this one day and I knew they had redone it and all I could think was "they probably made it less scary." I went in with such low expectations that I was once again scared shitless. My dad tells me he didn't know whether to laugh at me or hug me, he'd never seen me so petrified. All in all, it's not that scary but it CAN be lol.
I love every minute of this attraction! While is scarier ones are created, is nothing like old style fun rides like this. Especially when can taking someone can clinging to while on it. Charming.
At first I was like Okay. Then Creatures came bout. But it was only after The Kings 👑Court it was Really Good!! I especially like the Spider 🕷 🕷🕷 Area. Didn't see that one coming! Nor the Creature tearing up the boarded walkway! It was pretty good for a ride! The beginning seemed generic & cheap. But it got better! 😇
One of the other ones that's pretty well maintained and looks like it was ripped out of the 70s is the Haunted Mansion up at Knoebels in Elysburg, Pa. They still have a lot of effects that have been working since the 70s and they keep their haunted mansion really well maintained. It terrified me as a kid but now it's one of my favorite rides there.
Its been a few years since I last went to the boardwalk, and seeing this just reminds me how grateful I am for all the animatronics they have there between this and the Cave Train
I went on this with my buddy, but it made me hella anxious to be in a dark, loud room with quick moving objects. I sat terrified and buried in my friend's shoulder - I didn't even look at the ride. It doesn't seem scary on video, but real life it's actually scary!
I love going their Santa Cruz board walk but this ride scared me 😹my head was tucked in my dads shirt and my eyes were closed chicken alart I love roller coasters though 😝
I grew up on this ride and although it's obviously not scary it's a Santa Cruz boardwalk tradition -- you have to do it no matter how unscary it is lol
Dang! This has like some Disney pizzaz to a horror feel! Thought it would be one of those average carnival/fair rides but it was so much better! And I’ve never even been on it 👻👾👹

There is a difference when a ride is updated but is the same one, it is another when the building was tore down and a brand new building was designed, enlarged, and built to include the space on the right for the concessions, and the ride was expanded more then 1,000 sq. ft larger. Does not matter if the other was also a haunted house. This one is totally BRAND NEW. It is NOT the same one as before. So it has NOT been always there.
You're saying a classic dark ride needs to be turned into a roller coaster? You're nuts! Dark rides are dark rides and roller coasters are roller coasters.
No it doesn't. Do you work for Cedar Fair or something? SHEESH! Not all amusement parks need to be roller coasters only! Dark Rides are awesome, and they add variety. Just because they're not for YOU does not mean they should get rid of them!
You know after just watching this RUclips video made me realize that i rather much prefer to ride The Haunted Mansion Disney attraction from the Magic Kingdom Park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando Florida. Instead of this scary haunted house attraction from on this RUclips video on here you know.😇

i mean it's a family ride it's not supposed to be scary 💀 this aint disneyland
@@tomhardysgrandfather3960 3:38 There's a Velociraptor!
I don't think its meant to be scary
Stupid comment 🙄
I get bad anxiety
This is literally spirit the Halloween store as a ride
Ava Bradley ahahahaaa!!! 😂😂😂ik it looks like a store! maybe it's the sponsor.
Ava Bradley but less scary
But ya a lot of the equipment can be found in spirit halloween
Spirit of Halloween is this ride as a store
It’s no haunted mansion in Disney

It was a lot scarier back then. More blood amd guts. I have photos of it from the 1980s when we used to spend the whole summer at the Boardwalk.
Dope! Has an 80's horror feel to it
That bridge prop at 3:00 is amazing

PandaCoasters watch your mouth
Anyone else think the raptor was the only thing in it that didn't make sense
Supercook49 well,Dinosaurs are sometimes scary.
In my opinion, yes the only weird thing
Supercook49 lol that was sooo random! 😂😂😂
Same here
I usually see a lot of snake/reptilian props in Halloween stores or jungle themed scares, so it’s kinda normal. Def see how you could be thrown off!
Perfect atmosphere. Spooky but also kind of kitschy and fun. These old school dark rides do it right. I wish Halloween haunted houses were like this, rather than all the torture and body parts nonsense they're all about these days.
All it needs is those exit signs redone to be more with the spirit of the rest of the ride.

Well, is BETER then the Knoebles Haunted Mansion...
Be lucky to have a haunted mansion
For gods sake not every dark ride is a rip off of haunted mansion Disneyland is not the only theme park in the world
@@therollercoasterrat9129 people think that every dark ride with rotating carts is a copy of the haunted mansion

bro waht was the scariest part of the ride ?
@@smallsthetimelord4066 \\\\\\\
fright walk is the teen version of haunted castle. I'd say.
A crazy dark ride full of jump scares and crazy morbid scenes. This is one of the most creative rides they've made.

Thanks for sharing! One of the best I ever seen!
when I went on it was a 2hour wait it took so long but it was worth it
Looks like a lot of fun to ride! You can tell someone worked really hard to put this together and make it enjoyable not necessarily scary.
It's cool and interesting .
By the way , you are so beautiful .
wow this is awesome 😁😀

3:38 is that a dinosaur?!
yes
That's weird.
Wasnt expecting that either for a haunted castle haha!
I don't find him
O,i find him.Forget it
That floor effect was very cool and unique.
Omg how cool thanks for showing😊✌️
Oi meu celular e eu te mando de nada, e a outra. E a reserva e o outro

This is certainly well maintained...most dark rides I've seen videos of look like decaying relics from the 1950s!

I went on this ride as a kid too! I was like 6 I think.
Its been a few years since I last went to the boardwalk, and seeing this just reminds me how grateful I am for all the animatronics they have there between this and the Cave Train

I would totally ride this.
I LOVE IT! I love the lack of goofy one-liner actors, I love the animatronics and the almost Dr Satan Rob Zombie vibe. Absolutely love
That ride was so pitiful that I couldn’t finish watching it. Some body needs to step it up
Its not supposed to be scary its supposed to be fun! And that's what it is, fun!!
2:08 idk why I laughed a lot

A year later and STILL not seen this version. OMG.

Good soundtrack
5:11 bravo
Yikes! Scooby! I'm not going in there for all the Scooby snacks in the world!
Also they had little bit of Jurassic park in it, so not scary
I never went on this ride the line was SUPPEERR long never gave it a chance maybe next time I ago I will go on it

Makes you appreciate the Disney parks even more :)

I have to agree, Most of these types are cheap, crappy and just plain junky, but this one either is new, nor has been fully renovated.
Actually it is brand knew. Only been there now for a couple years. I talked to the company that designed and built it.
So not sure what you are talking about, because it has not always been there.
Smileallthetime this ride has been there for years, but it more recently got a re-desgin
Rattyeely+ You are wrong, This is not the one that has been there for years.
This ride was totally redesign, enlarged, and updated in 2012. They also tore the old building down to enlarge it. This means it is a NEW Dark ride.
There is a difference when a ride is updated but is the same one, it is another when the building was tore down and a brand new building was designed, enlarged, and built to include the space on the right for the concessions, and the ride was expanded more then 1,000 sq. ft larger.
Does not matter if the other was also a haunted house. This one is totally BRAND NEW. It is NOT the same one as before. So it has NOT been always there.
America knows how to do haunted house rides - it makes the ones here in the UK look absolutely pathetic 😂
Kinda disappointing. The animatronics were good, not great but good. It needs to be turned into a roller coaster!!!
You're saying a classic dark ride needs to be turned into a roller coaster? You're nuts! Dark rides are dark rides and roller coasters are roller coasters.
No it doesn't. Do you work for Cedar Fair or something? SHEESH! Not all amusement parks need to be roller coasters only! Dark Rides are awesome, and they add variety. Just because they're not for YOU does not mean they should get rid of them!
Uh, no, then it would be a ROLLER COASTER and NOT a Dark Ride. Get a grip!
Frankie2012channel You need to show some respect to those classic dark rides.
