The real deal...

This is The Haunted House ride at Ocean City, Maryland. Run by Trimper's Amusements, this popular "dark ride" has been on the Ocean City Boardwalk since 1962.

I knew I wanted to do a dark ride - the curved doorway of the Greenleaf Workshop was the inspiration for that. This ride has such a phenomenally original facade, and OC has been my beach vacation spot since I was a child, it was the perfect combination!

On top of that, I found an incredible fan site:

The Haunted House

If I needed a close up of an area that wasn't on his website, he sent it to me within the hour! He was a lifesaver getting the detail as accurate as I could... I hope he likes the final mini rework of the building...
