I visited the original LD in 1988..it was awesome. Does anybody remember the great big BELL as you walked down into the Dungeon..? It would chime (via sensor or a recording was played) and make you JUMP! 🤣 Visited the new Dungeon last November with my Daughter.. we loved that too, especially the rides!

Loved this place, went on a school trip when I was 11 years old. Was fascinated by the face projections, especially Jeckell and Hyde. Us lads spotted the trip switch as you approached the werewolf and sent the girls through saying that it was all fine.😅 A sadly missed attraction like so many in London. I also remember the multi screen cinema upstairs at The Trocadero called 'The London Experience ' in the early 80's, : Rock Circus ', again at The Trocadero in the late 80's and 'MOMI' - The museum of the moving Image at Waterloo. Hope that stirs some happy memories.

A tad late to the discussion - 13 years - but... thank you for posting this. I had; and maybe have this original programme from the London Dungeons, and it was wonderful to see again. It really brought back the eerie, macabre feel of the place as it was. It also held a number of original, historic torture instruments, live rats, and a resident silent black, hooded monk. The smell alone was, 'of the dank', and I could almost smell it here. I'm not sure if it was added after this, but there was a 'Pandemonium' room at the end, that was hell, a snake orgy and a towering animated satan - no: really. Honestly. I don't mind that they changed it, or that it now costs so much - just that nothing replaced it: that's the sad part.

The actors and rides would be one thing. But I feel it has become far too theatrical in execution and not confrontational in how bleak it is. The humour in the current version of the dungeons I believe was done after the success of Horrible Histories (likely) and the simplicity of the waxworks captures the bleak environment better.

The problem with the London Dungeons today, as well as with with movies / tv series in general, is that rather than relying upon the imagination of the viewer and relying on subtlety which is infinitely more terrifying (look at the 1976 movie Jaws, a Spielberg classic because the mechanical shark malfunctioned and Spielberg relied on the audience's imagination and it was way more scary), they try and make the horror too apparent with sound effects, cgi, excessive gore etc. People no longer need to imagine the fear, as it is contrived by someone else, therefore harder to relate to and hence less scary.

The theatrical dark comedy loses the bleak impact of the history which was pulled off by the waxworks.

Holy cow! I got to go to the London Dungeon when I was ten (I'm 49). I have the exact booklet somewhere! My parents and I were visiting from the US. We had gone to Madame Tussauds a few day before, where they had figures that moved. I spent the whole time freaked out that the LD figures were going to start moving. I had forgotten until I saw this, but I convinced my parent to go back a second time. However, that time they said I had an hour to have fun, but they would wait in the gift shop. They had gotten their fill of the LD. I loved it. For about a year after, I could open the booklet and the binding where the staples were still smelled like the LD.

I remember that scared me pretty well but also the hanging man, Vlad the impaler, Lady Bathory and a willow the wisp creature (not the Kenneth Williams one I hasten to add). I think that being able to just wander through it and know that most of the exhibits were of real historical things made it much more frightening.

If you're ever down in Cornwall the small Witchcraft museum is worth a visit, not frightening but has a nice vibe that kind of reminded me of the original London Dungeon - it may have helped that I was the only person in there on a dark and stormy day....

I thought it was just the usual trick of time and rose tinted specs, but seeing this has made me realise the tension and atmosphere is far better. I originally went in the early 80s, revisited in the 2000s and was disappointed.
Me too.
i think this was on RIPLEYS BELIEVE IT OR NOT
What?
I did have a 1976 Ford Brochure celebrating the Montreal Olympics until I sold it on eBay. The chunky Ford brochures from the 70s through to the 1990s were brilliant. I'd love a Cortina 2000E or maybe a Capri II 3000 S. My parents once had a white Granada 2000 L like the one at 4:07. Interesting how the 'Consul' was still sold in 1975 with the 'Granada' being the luxury model. Just as the 'Scorpio' replaced 'Granada' in 1995.
I had a Cortina 2000E!
That's Merlin for you as is the Tussaud group. Ruined the essence and concept of what it should be. Some may say it has been modernised in line with the times but it is all commercialised and trivialised. Absolute rubbish but hey, as long as it's making money for them!
Parents took me and my bro to the LD in about 1979. I was 3, he was 9. Scared the shit out of me. I still remember some of the exhibits 40 years later. It is great to see a vid like this. I have the original guide book. I wish someone had a video of the entire original one before it was ruined.
Please - where is you music from ? Stunning x
This is from the soundtrack of the film 'Bladerunner'.
I posted a viddy of before and after shots of my 1936 antique pinball restoration. These parts get really rusty and nasty.
It would be great if you would edit your account to create a way for people like myself to contact you I have a couple of simple questions. Simple to answer.
Sorry, I'm not much on this account anymore - I have another channel that I concentrate on. You can ask questions quite easily right here.
