Nightmare Manor
Backstory
During the early late 19 century a young man named Charles Morgan was one of the first British explores to go deep into the jungle on a small boat. After exploring African rivers he explored the jungles of South America and Asia. He made riches by taking tourists on the rivers. He then returned to Africa and formed the jungle navigation company. It took tourists on top notch cruises on some of the most famous rivers in the world.
Now filthy rich he decided to make a mansion right next to his company's headquarters. Once the mansion was complete he started a family and had one daughter named Abigail. Now ready to get married her father disproves but is still willing to host the wedding in the mansion. Now everyone in the jungle is invited to the wedding.
Entrance and Queue
A massive metal gate marks the entrance of Merciful Manor. On the side of the gate is a haunted mansion type sign for the ride while a other sign on top of the gate reads Morgan Manor.
The queue winds around a graveyard of dead jungle navigation company skippers. In true Jungle Cruise fashion they all die in puny ways. Leaving the graveyard the queue winds into the family garden. The queue also gives a look at the wedding as it is all set up and ready. The queue goes up towards the manor and stops in a small holding area.
Pre Shows
The main doors to the manor open and the holding area is welcomed inside quickly.
“Aw there you are. You're late the wedding is over and the reception has started.”
“Now it is my job to give you a tour of the Morgan Manor. We don't want you getting lost do we.”
“Proceed into the next chamber and our tour will begin.”
Portrait Gallery
“Here in this gallery is Where master Morgan hangs the portraits of his greatest achievements.”
“There's his favorite, Abigail his greatest achievement and a newly wed.”
A window opens and blows the candles lighting the room out.
“Sorry we’ll have the lights on in a moment.”
Looking up we can see a bride hanged dead above us. The light come back on and the doors on the opposite side of the room open.
Indoor queue/boarding area
We proceed into a large open hallway that gets tighter as we reach the end but still very open. We turn a corner and see a foyer with the infamous doom buggies passing through the center.
“I see you've boarded our doom buggies. They were created by an inventor that Morgan took on a cruise in Asia. They are named after the temple they explored.”
“Do not pull down on the safety bar. It will come down on it's own.”
The Bar lowers and the ride starts.
Scene 1
“The grand stair case. 999 people have fallen into the abyss below the stair case you don't want to be the thousandth do you.”
The grand stair case lite with black lights is surrounded by darkness except for another stair case with doom buggies on it.
Scene 2
“This endless hallway leads us closer to the ballroom. Luckily we don't have to go very far.”
At the end of the hall a ghostly bride holds a candelabra a disappears every couple of seconds.
Scene 3
The grand ballroom comes into view the doom buggies take a turn and go around a balcony over the ballroom on the opposite side of the way we came in is our exit.
“Sorry but our tour must end here I most join the party.”
On the ball room floor the groom is searching for his lost bride while Charles Morgan sits at the end of the table laughing and drinking wine. Many others are dancing to music being played by an organ.
Coming to the opposite side of the room that the long dead bride stands in the window staring down.
Scene 4
The ballroom scene ends and the doom buggies head down a creepy hallway of the manor. The purple paint peeling from the walls. The doors start to look more sinister some even getting banged on. A over look over the grave yard through a window shows the bride staring at the us. Turning back forwards the doom buggies head up the other stair case.
Scene 5
At the top of the stairs is the voodoo room. A woman at the center of the room talks about how the ghost are coming and they want revenge. All of the eyes of her dolls and tikis eyes follow us.
Scene 6
Doom buggies enter the attic filled with artifacts crates and expired advertising. Wedding photos of Abigail and other grooms show that this isn't the first time she's been married. Doom buggies turn to reveal a bone old man wearing a top hat a holding a box. Lights flash inside the box to reveal heads without a body all dead.
The Doom buggies start to turn before we see the bride standing in it’s path. Going backwards they tilt back and the doom buggy falls into the abyss below the stair case.( this is not the same room as before instead it's made to look the same.)
Scene 7
After falling into the abyss the surrounding area looks like a jungle swamp area. Around the doom buggies skeletons and tons of ghost party by singing dancing playing exotic instruments. All to the tune of Grim Grinning Ghost the classic haunted mansion song. A group of headless bodies dance in a circle around a greenish fire. After this exciting scene the doom buggies find their way back to the mansion.
Scene 8
The doom buggies return into the mansion through the green house. Not only are there a lot of exotic plants but in the reflection of the glass there are ghosts sitting in each doom buggy and are going to follow us home.
Scene 9
Doom buggies continue into a haunted library books flying of the selves pages turning on their own. Marble bust stare a passing guests.
Scene 10
The doom buggies return to the portrait gallery and floating in the air in the center is the angry demonic bride attacking the buggies. ( This bride is going to be using the state of the art audio animatronic. It would be more fluid then Lincoln and the Pirates.
Exit
“There you are I hope nothing terrible happened to you and I hope you enjoyed the party.”
“Now exit the doom buggies and watch your step on the moving carpet.”
Gift Shop
The ride directly exits into Manor Memorabilia. The shop sells all sorts of Nightmare Manor merchandise. The shop is themed to look like a garden shed or workshop.
A path then leads guests back to the main path of Riverside Outpost, the land both the Jungle Cruise and Nightmare Manor and a plethora of shops are located.
Well there is the rough draft. As of now I don't feel like the current attraction fits with my original vision of a dark murder mystery set in a jungle environment. It turned into a ghost revenge story that feels weak and like another Haunted Mansion with a few minor changes. It will probably change unless you all love it. If you do says so because I see to different attractions a murder mystery or a humorous ghost story and they don't really blend well together and if one has more fans I might make that the final version fit that idea. Hope you enjoyed and don't worry the next draft will have custom artwork.
