Display number seven
arrived in 2011, with
'The Magnificent Seventh' experience, and many new screams in store!
A few elements of the 2010 experience returned, along with
some exciting new effects, including a witch at a
cauldron, and updated window projections. We
were very lucky with the weather; a dry evening meant that our punters turned out in force! |

The 2011 show was a sort of '2010 show version
2.0'! I wanted to keep many of the effects from the previous
year, but the main new effect was the witch at the cauldron,
which looked great with the green smoke billowing out. But I
unfortunately ran out of time setting up! As a result things looked a bit sparse, but people
still visited and it
was another great evening.

The 2011 experience used the same computer-based method to
trigger and run effects as the previous year's display.
There were also some new props and figures.
You can read more about how the effects of the 2010 and 2011
experiences were created in the
behind the scares
section. |
