I haven't been able to get full details. I generally check into the park before Nor Easter but seeing I was not allowed to attend I waited.

They are indeed rehabbing the ride I have not gotten any confirmation about the ride being expanded size-wise but they do have plenty of room to do so.  They will be getting new cars, I heard 4 passenger, and a new targeting system the new Humbug targets are already at the park.  This is a great move since the ride is very popular.

Same here, The upgrade is much bigger then I had thought. hears it will have 14 rooms with not only new targets but a few animatronics.

to think when My family asked story land about ever having a new dark ride the response was they would have to see how This one dose. Obviously its doing very well if htey are willing to invest heavely in it.

Actually a good person to talk to about story land getting a dark ride now would be Jerry Brick since he now works for Palace and not Lake Compounce!

Wow, when did that happen?

This is a much bigger project then I expected. New targets, cars, and custom animatronics. It's a very big upgrade.

The Switch of park GMS happened a few weeks before COVID hit and when we did that online video interview during lock downs he talked about ti a little bit. He was offered a position at the parent company and still has an office at the park, but Larry is a great guy and does amazing things and cares about the park!
