1 - Attic Rat
Installed: 1964
Operation: Air
Car View: Straight Ahead
The Attic Rat in the first room has been in the same location for nearly 50 years. It has changed very little during its tenure in the ride, and is considered an icon as it’s the first effect to be seen upon entry into the attraction.
2 - Spider Staircase
Installed: 1964
Operation: Motorized
Car View: Left
Next up on the left are three creepy skull spiders rotating on a decrepit staircase. Make sure you don’t get tangled in their web!
3 - Tilted Corridor
Installed: 1964
Operation: Static
Car View: Straight Ahead
The Tilted Corridor adds a unique optical illusion to the ride. The artwork on these timbers is original to 1964, and the car tilts as it climbs this hill thanks an elevated platform on the left side of the track.
4 - Revolving Barrel
Installed: 1964
Operation: Motorized
Car View: Straight Ahead
The dizzying Revolving Barrel effect turns slowly to make you feel like you are falling into space. The dummy car on the revolving disc at the end of this tunnel makes you feel like you are not alone in the mayhem!
5 - Upside-Down Room
Installed: 1964
Operation: Static
Car View: Left
Next you will turn right into the Upside-Down Room, original to 1964. This helter-skelter situation reveals a damsel in distress lying in a crooked bed above you surrounded by old bedroom furniture. Hopefully you’ll be able to stay right-side up!
6 - Skeleton
Installed: 2010
Operation: Static
Car View: Left
This small skeleton sits on a green shelf that was previously a part of the Mad Scientist stunt on the second level.
7 - "Mr. Stubbs"
Installed: 2007
Operation: Static
Car View: Right
This prop, informally known at “Mr. Stubbs,” was once used for the Electric Chair effect on the second story of the attraction. When the body was deteriorating and thus no longer useable in the effect, it was moved to this corner.
8 - Birthday Party
Installed: 1988
Operation: Static
Car View: Straight Ahead
Straight ahead is one of the ride’s most obscure stunts. The Birthday Party includes two clowns congregating over a cake with a severed head adorning the top. Try to blow out the candles as your coffin car flies by!
9 - Borecon Trolls/Wolfman
Installed: 2001
Operation: Static
Car View: Left
A few Borecon Trolls watch you as your car passes by. The remains of the Wolfman prop sits quiet in the corner.
10 - Old Mill
Installed: 1964
Operation: Air/Motorized
Car View: Left
One of Bill Tracy’s most famous stunts, the Old Mill is original to 1964. A large saw blade cuts a damsel right up the middle before your very eyes. Better escape quickly before you too become a victim of the Old Mill!
11 - Knit Wit
Installed: 1964
Operation: Air
Car View: Straight Ahead
A gentle, harmless old lady turns 180 degrees in her chair to expose a skeleton knitting a spider web!
12 - Grillin Gabby

A few creepy heads adorn the wall nearby. Don’t make eye contact!

Witch Hazel, installed in 1968, leaps forward at your car as you pass. A cauldron with a reaching hand accompanies her.
