This is beyond amazing. The classic traditional haunted house theme is my favorite. I want to write more to convey how much I love it, but I'm speechless.
I got worried about the wood sounds I couldn’t tell if the track was breaking or it was eerie music! Read the comments sounds like it’s eerie music. I want a behind the scenes of all of it! It looks amazing. You should do a animatronic tour on how you build your animatronics and props. This year looks amazing!!! ;)
Thank You! Yeah this ride will be showcased on the new "Epic Home Haunts(part 2)" Documentary film coming out soon! As for the props, most all of them were store bought, but I did use different audio for some of them.
Thank You for the kind words. The documentary hasn't been released yet. It is being produced by "Epic Home Haunts" you can follow them here on UA-cam@@GMoney-B
that's my girl evelyn leech! 😄 (the bride animatronic) idk why i get excited when i recognize spirit store animatronics in rides. sidenote, LOVE the venus flytrap room!
This is amazing! In fact this is far better in terms of style, set decoration and animatronics than all of the travelling dark rides i rode in my life. Do you plan to add music to the ride?
Thank You for the kind words. I had a soundtrack playing in the background with eerie music and creaking doors/footstep sounds that the microphone didn't pick up. I also had a soundtrack outside the entrance que line, and in the foyer that set the mood.
@@pixelvisioner Fantastic! Don't know how constant the ride vehicles speed is during the ride but would it be possible to add a kind of on-board sound module to your carts that gets triggered once at the ride start and plays a custom-made track till the end? (Having composed/performed lots of music for my virtual dark rides on my channel i instantly imagine a musical theme for your ride that transforms with each scene, for example played in grammophone style in the hallway, adding exotic jungle drums for the man-eating plants, etc ;) Keep up the great stuff!
@@Theme.Park.Recreations Cool! Actually if you watch my video on my RFID triggered sound you can see how I triggered all of the voice over throughout the ride so it would be in sync no matter what speed the ride vehicle was going. I also used an 8 multi channel sound amplifier for the background music/soundf/x and had each room at a different sound level and mix( just like how Disneyland does it!)LOL!
a lot of those are vintage dark rides, though, preserving the traditions of the originals, if not the originals themselves. you won't find many store-bought props and animatronics on those. a few, but not many. we have to view things within context, eh? :)
@@ryanbarker5217 Absolutely Ryan, I'm working towards building a more modern type of dark ride(Disneyland Fantasy Land type). the classics are a great influence though! My first Dark ride "Monsters of Mayhem" was closer to a traditional carnival dark ride with a more modern influence.
I had a 20' x 30' patio area as well as a 15'x 20' section of my garage in the back section of the ride. As far as the turns I use 4'x4' sections of track so each turn is a 4' section with the curved track. depending on the size and shape of your ride vehicle you will have to experiment ant test it to make sure there is enough clearance for the kart and riders.
Thank you. I ran 2 ride vehicles, with my control panel it was setup to run 3. They ran on 2-20 amp hour 12v lead acid batteries with an RF remote on/off switch for each on my control panel. On my channel I have a 5 part series showing how it works. I have a new ride system that has a powered track and uses a PLC micro computer to run the ride vehicles( also on my channel) been trying to find time to finish that system.
@@pixelvisioner oooh. I have just drawn, painted and recreated some sets from it just for fun. I even have all the soundtrack and sound effect audios! Now just need the money, engineering skills, space, etc… lol
@@TackyFlamingo Very nice! Have you watched my 5 part How To series on how I built the ride system? If you ever decide to build the ride feel free to ask any questions you might have!
You should put a ceiling so it's less drastically different from night time. Also should pad the track system so it's less rattle-y. But cool despite that. Also, any updates? Been a year since you uploaded
I built the majority of the ride under 3 10x 20 canopy's and the rest went through my garage. I made this daytime ride through video to show all of the detail you can't see on the night time ride through as the camera can't pick up enough light to see it all. I've been really busy the past 2 years and are hoping to film some more updates as I get back to building my new ride system which has been on hold all of this time. As for the ratte-ly sound on the track I had to use paint with sand grit to give me even traction along the track floor for the rubber tires on my transaxles and the plastic caster wheels supporting the ride vehicle got kind of loud . I tried using rubber caster wheels but the grit wore them down pretty fast, so I went back to the plastic ones.
@@pixelvisioner that makes sense! So cool that you built this yourself! Perhaps thin rubber strips along the sides of the ground track could help? It's more acceptable if rubber that's just being used as a sound dampener wears down than if the rubber being worn out is the tires themselves haha Just an idea tho. Looking forward to seeing your updates when you have time again 😊
I want a peter pan's flight pinocchio's daring journey bambi's forest adventure mr toad's wild ride and alice in wonderland dark rides and send them off to disney world fresno😇
These DIY dark rides are so short but still 100x better than those haunted houses at the fair.
Thank You for the kind words. Of course the Fair dark rides are made intentionally campy to mimic the original pretzel dark rides lol!
Exactly. Put this in a trailer and book it in with a carnival!
Wow, this was fantastic! Your attention to detail is amazing! I love the ending dialog: "Oh... you made it back... Well... Get out!" lol

@@pixelvisionerthat’s so cool. Is this a UA-cam or Netflix documentary? Where can I find it if it’s out now? You are amazing! This is incredible.
Thank You for the kind words. The documentary hasn't been released yet. It is being produced by "Epic Home Haunts" you can follow them here on UA-cam@@GMoney-B
@@pixelvisioner awesome! Thanks!
That is great!
Thank You!
I am so happy you returned and wow what a ride this is. The atmosphere is so good. Can't wait to see what you come up with in the future
Thank you. I will be making more videos soon to show my new ride I'm working on is coming along!
This is better than most professional dark rides. Great job!!!!!!
Thank You
Fantastic!!!!

Wow this is really cool. I love this!! Really impressed. Very well done and put together. I really like dark rides and am fascinated by them.

This is awesome!!
This is fantastic! Way to go, Brett! 💀💀💀💀💀
Thank You!
very nice...and spooky
So cool, great job
that's my girl evelyn leech! 😄 (the bride animatronic) idk why i get excited when i recognize spirit store animatronics in rides. sidenote, LOVE the venus flytrap room!
Thx! Yeah Evelyn is a cool prop! So detailed
Amazing!! So well-executed. I wish I could see it in person. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, my pleasure!
Incredible work I’d love to ride this!
Truly impressive. Well done.

I'm not joking when I say this is better than a significant chunk of "professional" dark rides Carpetbagger has been on. Much better.
Thank You!

@@pixelvisioner i was seeing if you'd put in some of the classic gags, lol.
I am impressed Sir.
Thank You
So cool
Incredible work
Thank You!
This is amazing!!
Thank You!
Awesome
great
Hey! Could you tell me how big is the space you are using? How big may I make the turns? Thanks! AWESOME work by the way !!😉

@@pixelvisioner Thanks!!!!!! Thank you for sharing me all those things. You rock!!!
Very impressive! How many cars are there and how are the cars powered up/controlled?

Cool
lol, very nice.
Wait… my dreams of remaking a homemade mr toads wild ride are possible!
Why Yes they are. My first ride "Monsters of Mayhem" had the explosion scene and speed of the ride vehicles inspired by Mr Toads!
@@pixelvisioner oooh. I have just drawn, painted and recreated some sets from it just for fun. I even have all the soundtrack and sound effect audios! Now just need the money, engineering skills, space, etc… lol

A lot of work, for sure
Wow! How did you build this?!
I have a 5 part series on my channel showing how I built it.
@@pixelvisioner thanks Brett! I'll check it out!
Not scary at all, but it looks fucking bad ass!
Its good but it would be better if it was dark inside
This was a daytime ride through video so you can see all of the details.
I want a peter pan's flight pinocchio's daring journey bambi's forest adventure mr toad's wild ride and alice in wonderland dark rides and send them off to disney world fresno😇
I'll Get right on it!
