I've loved animatronics, it varies, but I find them unique and interesting. Disney still keeps them alive mostly, but the old days of animatronic bands are sadly done for. While I hate to admit it, FNAF has brought some renewed interest in animatronics, both people wanting to view them and own/refurb them. So I think we could see a eventual resurge, but with Scott Cawthon no longer making FNAF games, interest might dewindle.

It also holds a special place in my heart because I had my first ever dark ride experience there. It wasn't the Dark Ride featured here, though. At the time, they had a haunted mine cart ride. Sadly, it appears to be lost to history. Thank you for this lovely trip down Memory Lane!

The ride was designed by Wayne Seddon who worked for Bill Tracy. Some of the stunts are from Gillian’s first dark ride, Tracy’s Ghost Creek Caverns. Some of the stunts were molded from Tracy stunts and some were built by Wayne to resemble Tracy stunts, like the prisoner, the rat and the bat. Wayne made the gravestone as a homage to his former boss. www.laffinthedark.com/articles/gillians/ghh_P1.html
