    Just so you know, My sister and I were driving for a long time. Our mom was driving and we were really bored.
    So we ended up watching as many of your videos as we could. We love you so much.

    This and Earthquake both get bad wraps for being a waste of time, but we enjoyed doing both. They are old school attractions and are still awesome. Same as Jurassic boat ride in PF. They all remind me of visiting the area with my folks when I was young. I hope they never go away.

      Fox we just went back in September. We must have a good day because everything was working. There were s couple we thought were broke at first, however they just were very slow to be triggered. If ya gave it a few minutes the “illusion” did work.

    I used to think this place was so awesome when I was a kid! Made my parents go through it at least once per trip to Gatlinburg. I'm torn between thinking they should update a good portion of it to keep business afloat or keep it exactly the same in all its eighties glory, which is the conflict I feel about pretty much all of downtown Gatlinburg. I can't see most kids appreciating this kind of thing nowadays.

  • @amandaggogo

    I seem to recall that those lightning disk were a thing in the late 80's or early 90's. You might still find them on Spencer Gifts site. If I'm not mistaken, one of those disk was also inside the Delorian in Back to the Future.

    I remember going through this back in the 80s. Not too much has changed in there over the last 30+ years. I do remember when the genie in the bottle illusion was outside by the entrance and they'd have an actor in there dressed as a genie talking to passersby, trying to lure them to visit the attraction.
