Possibly anchoring that would be a PERMANENT Nightmare Before Christmas darkride in the present location of Sounds Dangerous! <a href="http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2006/05/26/2584.aspx" target="_blank">http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/ jim_hill/archive/2006/05/26/2584.aspx</a> Now, as much as I (and a lot of others)would like to see a NBC makeover of our favorite Mansion, a permanant Nightmare ride sounds like something that should have happened at the Studios a LONG time ago!!! This, to me, is a much better alternative than the temporary makeovers of the HM! (For those who love the original Mansion like myself, especially around Halloween, this seems like the best plan!) My concept for the ride would be to see what the residents of Halloween would do to the REST of the holidays in the calander!!! I could see some really funny gags for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and even President's Day (like a ghostly spoof of the Hall of Presidents!) They could start the ride at Halloween, have scenes featuring the other holidays, then have the big finale take place at Christmas. Well, here's hoping for a new Nightmare Before Christmas darkride soon at Disney/MGM which sorely needs more rides!
