Ripley’s Scream In The Dark! Thrills Visitors

in Thailand.

Update : 01/12/11 - 15h23 Published by François Mayné the 11 November 2011, New.
With the opening of Ripley’s Scream In The Dark! on October 29, Sally Corporation’s new interactive screamfest officially became part of the Ripley’s entertainment zone attractions at Royal Garden Plaza in Pattaya, Thailand. 

The 7,990 sq. ft (742 sq. m.) dark ride is located in close proximity to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum, Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks, Ripley’s Haunted Adventure—a walkthrough frighthouse—Ripley’s Infinity Maze and 4D Moving Theater. Admission to the ride can be purchased as part of combination packages or alone, according to Somporn Naksuetrong, general manager of Royal Garden Plaza, who was instrumental in bringing the Sally ride to the upscale mall under the Ripley’s banner.


 Designed with an emphasis on animatronics and special effects, Ripley’s Scream In the Dark! is guaranteed to send chills down your spine. The ride’s scary and complex soundtrack plays a major role in the experience which features an array of frightful clowns, an evil ride-through FogScreen clown face, and an advanced targeting system which incorporates new interactive technology: a Scream-O-Meter. The Scream-O-Meter measures the intensity of riders’ screams…the more you scream, the higher your score.

The scoring is helped along by several clown-costumed actors whose sudden and unexpected appearances in various locations in the ride elict ear-splitting screams and hysterical laughter from riders. Crazy Clown, a colorful and somewhat sinister animatronic character (who also appears in the ride), serves as the greeter at the entrance to the attraction. He welcomes and taunts visitors in both English and Thai.

Some themes never lose their appeal, ” says Sally CEO John Wood. “This is a fun ride for people of all ages. Kids and teenagers especially are thrilled to be able to scream as loud as they can without anyone telling them to stop!

John Wood and the Sally team are a well known creative force in our industry that stands for ‘Fun,’ and we’re pleased to have the Ripley’s name on Scream In the Dark! ” says Jim Pattison, Jr., president of Ripley Entertainment.
