This was very fun, and it surprised the h@#$ out of me that I actually ignored this solid ride for 3 years at my local park! I rode 3 times in the 103 degree weather 8-8-07, and had fun each time. The themeing and landscaping of the queue were perhaps the best in the park. It included the Mystery Machine stuck in the mud, grave stones, a good entrance, an impressive looking "mansion," and profiles for all the Scooby Doo characters in a lush, green forested area. Why I was shocked by all this was KDs addition the next three years (Tomb Raider, IJTC, and Water Works) have basically butchered the landscape versus preserving it. Anyway, the ride itself if good and dark, the spoofs are decent, and there is plenty of stuff to shoot. I managed a score over 2500 points after being held in the last scene with the money bags for a couple of minutes. Overall it is a nice "old school haunted house" with a new school flavor. Not quite enough to get an 8 or 9 though!
