This little Pretzel gem is well deserving of a 9 rating, if only for its sheer survival capabilities. Its the oldest in existence (with original cars from 1928 - beat that), and gives a fun, eccentric dark ride experience. Nothing jumps out at you during the ride, but the convoluted twists and turns are incredibly disorienting, the vintage sound effects are a real joy (see the laffinthedark article describing these - theyre genius), and the cobwebs never fail to thrill. Its a much rougher, wilder ride than Id expected, with the car tilting heavily at some turns. And, sure enough, I was surprised at how close the cars come to one another, suggesting a head on collision midpoint through the ride. Overall, this little treasure doesnt have the modern day technology most might be used to, but uses its antique methods to great effect. A worthwhile ride for all haunted house lovers, and a genuine pilgrimage point for Pretzel fanatics.
