I’ve heard of some of these, most recently Donkey’s Sherry and the muppet traffic safety mall pop up ride. I sometimes go on to the Sally Dark ride site and go down rabbit holes of rides that they have done, Zombie Paradise was one that I encountered many years ago, it really intrigued me. There were some rides in this video that I’ve never heard about before and I’m glad that I could learn about their existence because dark rides really do interest me a lot! Your video was really cool!

I think the reason Goofy was casted to be Jacob Marley was because his original actor, Pinto Colvig, passed away in 1967. If anything, this actor allusion has more tact than making Peter Pan as the villain in Ripoff Rangers by mocking the actor who played the character originally; as Bobby Driscoll went through a downward spiral, having an addiction to narcotics, sent to jail, losing funds, and died of a heart attack.
@juliamavroidi86014 күн бұрын
I have a theory on what inspired The Donkey's Sherry ride, but that doesn't make it any less weird: (TLDR: It may be based on the work of Spanish artist Francisco de Goya's work) Franscico de Goya was a Spanish(!) artist from the 18th century who is best known nowadays for a series of caricatures called Los Caprichos (Whims). A common motive in the collection is anthropomorphic donkeys performing human tasks. Another famous one of his paintings is The Witch's Sabbath in which an anthropomorphic goat is depicted in a similar pose to the donkey witch in Donkey's Sherry. Late in life de Goya experienced hearing loss which took a toll on his mental health. He expressed his mental anguish in a series known as "The Black Paintings" which he painted directly onto the walls of his home. These disturbing artworks are what Goya is most famous for except for Los Caprichos. So the ride progressing from the whimsical to the disturbing mirrors de Goya's artistic development. However in the end the experience is revealed to be a dream, which also is in line with de Goya's work. He was strongly opposed to the superstition in his country especially among the peasant population (like the vintners in the beginning of the ride) which was propagated by the clergy - who are often the ones unflatteringly depicted as donkeys in Los Caprichos. And notably the later part of the ride is a frightening the depiction of hell - exactly the kind of fearmongering Goya was opposed to - which is then revealed to be not true in the "all just a dream" ending, dreams also being a common theme in de Goya's work. In fact one of Los Caprichos is called "The Sleep of Reason Gives Birth to Monsters". I may be overinterpreting this silly amusement park attraction, but maybe one of the creatives of Parque Espana got way deep into their research of Spanish culture and decided to pay tribute to de Goya in their own way.

Another defunct dark ride from spain that could be made into the list was El Rescate de Ulises (The Rescue of Ulysses) in Terra Mitica, Benidorm. The ride is based on the Odyssey but takes certain liberties (the biggest one is putting elves in it, when they don't even belong to Greek mythology) also since the audio quality of the narration (supposed to be by Athena) is so bad, if you are not very familiar with the story you are not going to understand what's going on. Originally the ride consisted on boats with an actor, a la Jungle Cruise but with a more serious role, that interacted with the animatronics and told about what was happening but to cut costs they changed the boats to the river rapids ones and put some speakers. According to some sources, in the early days of the ride at one point, the boat could take two routes, depending if the riders chose to follow the Sirens' song, if you did you will experience the ride's only fall and you'll drop at the Tartarus scene, if you didn't you'll pass by the Elysium instead before going into the Tartarus. It was an interesting ride, that the park sadly didn't know how to keep. At least they still have the Labyrinth of the Minotaur, probably Spain's best dark ride
