I found some pictures of Festa Dementia and Last Laugh Industries which are for some reason reallly hard to come across.
Well this week I found something very interesting so I'll just leave it here..
You're making me pretty damn sad right now, Connor.
You can still see the sculptures in the second to last image in Deadline. Suzanne Sessions Inc. used to design many things for Howl-O-Scream. I love the photo depicting the toppling marble bust(s). I don't remember if that effect ever worked but the idea was that the bust would slide down the side of the shelf. It's an effective scare, but like the "heights" room in 13, it creates too much backup.
After searching for all I could find about Nightmare Express I wrote-up the two scenes of footage I could find. Enjoy!
I hope eventually I can complete this but sadly there really isn't that much footage of the attraction and I don't know any of the companies names that helped the attraction come to life. Luckily, 2015 will be the 40th year celebration for the park...
What makes you think the park is going to release exclusive information like that to the public for what is most-likely going to be a half-assed celebration that is going to get barely any recognition?
Wow, this thread is, dead. So I guess you guys wants some high quality photos from the park of HOS in 2007?
Recognize old prop the pig man is using in the fourth photo? Here's a hint.

That Ghost Coaster concept looked interesting. The writing on the side is a little hard to read but I'm guessing they were going to make Drachen Fire some kind of HOS attraction?
It looks like they were going to use the non-operating Drachen Fire as a giant Howl-o-Scream prop. Put fake dead bodies in the coaster maybe have it running or just have a train stuck close by so that as you ride the train you see dead bodies in the coaster.
EDIT: As I try to squint and read, it does mention Drachen Fire and it does mention trains passing by. So I am assuming they really did want to run the coaster with fake dead bodies, ghosts, or banshees as a giant Howl-o-Scream prop.

It does mention "Coaster should be timed to announcement." I imagine it was cut since it would be kinda pointless to staff a coaster but not allow any guest to ride. Oh man do I miss the train! The Ferris Wheel, The Swamp scene, and who could forget the fire! *wipes away tears* At least instead of placing props for the train they can now be spread throughout the park. The train used too have such ambitious goals, then Jack's Pumpkin Express joined the line up.
One of the very few sea dog cemetery photos out there.
I came across this video today and notice how around the 45 second mark it says "Welcome aboard our preview of tonight's Monster Adventure Tour." A page or two back on a piece of concept art it has a logo titled "Monster Adventure Tour." I searched the internet and I couldn't find anything about this variation of the train. Could anyone confirm or deny that there was a Monster Adventure Tour?
It was just the name of the tour on the ride. It wasn't the actual name of the attraction as far as I can recall.

I MISS THIS SO MUCH. Wicked Woods was my first maze ever and it holds a place in my heart <3
This thread has been quiet, even quieter than Mach Tower back in 2011.
