there is very little internal lighting, instead guests carry a pen torch so you are very unlikely to find pictures of the inside

That rabbit really was quite cruel, he dragged that poor girl quite violently through that place.

I like the idea of a open ended haunted walkthrough, something for Thorpe to think about.
"ERRRRRRRRRRR EXCUSE ME"
Anonymous

I went through the Senritsu just this morning. Three words to describe it: Scary as Hell. The hospital is based off the Mental Asylum as seen in Session 9 (apparently) but the scary thing is, going through it is like playing a hospital level in the Silent Hill games. You know something's eventually going to jump out at you, but you're not sure what or when.

The haunted hospital put lots of really great looking fake bodies everywhere, and mixed in with the fake ones are reall people dressed up with fabulous make-up and costumes. Then they lurch towards you reaching out to grab you and get up in your face while making horrible gurgling noises. There are exits all over the place for people to 'escape' and we lost half our group members because they just couldn't take it anymore. Definately recommended.

You start off in a screening area where they warn you not to phyiscally attack the actors when they come at you.a good warning because you instinctively want to protect yourself from the creepies. Then, you're sent into a second room to see the 'backstory' of the haunted hospital (Go with a Japanese translator, it'll make so much more sense but even if you don't know what's going on - me! then it's still VERY frightening! Perhaps even more so because you don't know WHY the doctors went crazy with unnecessary and painful surgery!)

People say it should take 40 minutes to go through, but it takes a lot less than that because you get CHASED down corridores by really frightening actors and so all that running away makes up for less time.

Pictures are very hard to get because there are actors and cameras everywhere, if they see you filming or taking photos, you're escorted out of the house and out of the park by a very angry-looking zombie, nurse, insane doctor, or nastified and bleeding patient.

What's really frightening is the flashlight.there's no point to it, it only makes things worse when you shine it on things and see detail! Not to mention, ours ran out of batteries! ARGH! There are no maps, just arrows drawn in blood telling you which way you should go.

Stairs are safe! If you need to take a breather and let your heartrate go back to normal, hide on the stairs, because they know enough not to scare you on them or people would get hurt!

If you're going in groups, it is NOT safe to go in the back. You think that the creepies will attack the first person into a room? WRONG, they pick on the terrified people clinging behind the others and they come up and grab them or gurgle at them or lurch at them or many other unmentionable ways to scare them. Unfortuantely, nobody told ME this so I got the brunt of the terror. There.are no chainsaws.

If you hate hospitals.you're REALLY going to hate them after this ride.

Any other questions, just ask while it's still fresh in my mind! Enjoy!

I recently discovered that Fuji Q Highland in Japan used to house a very unique coaster for 17 years...

Manufactured by Meisho Amusement Machines and Vekoma together... they created one of the weirdest shuttle coasters... Its one of the only rides to have the "pretzel knot" element.

The ride pulled off 6.2 g's... yes 6.2 G'S!!!!!!! Which is why they demolished it
