That sounds like a great name for a Haunted House! I would love to see something along that story placed in England. THe front of the park doesn't have any haunts, the closest one is Deadline or 13 (not including the "scare zone" in Scotland)

Haunts of the Old Country opened in 1993 until 1998.
I found this:
And also this:
Website in case you want to hear the music: http://billrossmusic.com/
And also this:
Lighthearted and family oriented my butt. As a 10 year old, this thing was scary. When it first came out, at the end of the movie there is a party scene, complete with confetti that fell from the sky, after the boy (SPOLIER) breaks the spell and is no longer a dog. Your guard is down and you're pulled into the people celebrating on the screen when out on the balcony to the left or right (you never knew, it was random) of the screen appears a live actor dressed exactly as the witch in the movie. I believe that everyone in the theater then had to say something or do something at the same time at the direction of the actors on the screen. There was a very loud boom along with a puff of smoke, and the witch disappeared. Scary y'all.

Zachary, you are welcome. I kind of see this board as a way of sharing and collecting as much information as possible so that anyone who stumbles upon our community won't have to go anywhere else for anything BGW related. It will all be right here. If my Googling skills can help the cause in any way, I am happy to do it.
Shane, I'm glad I'm not alone. I wish I could remember more about it personally. I believe that near the end of it's run, they stopped with the live actor.

Just something I'm watching to right now... *whistles innocently*

That damn witch.
Ugh, that song that plays in the background at the beginning and at other times throughout STILL freaks me out.
During the party when the actors are facing the screen and you can hear the witch speaking off camera, that's when she would physically show up in the theater. I swear I remember having to do something as an audience member to make her go away, but I guess I was wrong. You can tell when the 3D images were that they really wanted to pop out at your easily if you watch the movie. I believe you got wet when the punch was thrown,and your seat vibrated when the chandlier fell. I also want to say they would pump light mist in during outside castle shots.

That wasn't too bad or dated. I mean a few things that kid said were just old, but I could see it something that could have still been playing today.
Just replaced the video in my post above with a higher quality version. Still far from HD, but I think that's the best it's going to get. Enjoy!
Also, I seem to have reached 50 rep. Thanks everyone!
