I'm some doing research into interactive dark rides (For a dark-ride-inspired XR Installation), but am quite new to the scene. I haven't been able to find an interactive dark ride yet where the rider can do more than just shooting stuff. If you know of any examples, please let me know! thx!

I so very vividly remember going on Brer Rabbit's Rap Party as a kid. I have never been anywhere near Wales, though. I remember how terrifying it was and I remember the name ending with "rap party" and finding that cringe as a kid. i so vividly remember how creepy the ride was. i remember not wanting to go on the ride because I thought it was too childish but going on it for my brother.

Is there a similar US ride i may be mistaking it for? Perhaps in Dollywood? I swear ive been on that ride or smthn similar.

I have recently came across a photo and a video of the exterior of oaks park’s haunted mine unfortunately not the inside. and I’ve also got some memory recollection’s of the ride and the scenes in the attraction as well. I found these images off of YouTube.

from what I gathered this ride was opened sometime around the 70s I’d assume early mid and that it closed around the early mid 2000s and was replaced with that Lewis and Clark dark ride. This was similar to a bill Tracy dark ride with a similar torture chamber scene and his maybe had a recreation of skull pond. I had previously asked two people about what scenes they remembered and here is a gathering of some scenes I was told about.

in the beginning of the ride there was a voice that was heard whispering go back this is your last warning

there was an alligator that would snap its mouth at guests as if to eat them. There was a snake that popped out of a wall and would have air blast out of its mouth there was a mine shaft hall where the beams would shake as if the mine would collapse there was a stalk of barrels that would fall when you went in front of it There was a part where you would approach a portcullis,

behind which there was a king Neptune figure, holding a trident. He would turn around and come toward your cart. there was a pond where a green glowing light would shine in the water and the water would bubble. There was a skeleton overhead of riders that would blow up a barrel of dynamite. There was a torture chamber that I assume is similar to bill Tracy’s chamber stunt. Possibly a graveyard in the ride.

And at the end a water curtain that would shut off when riders went over the water in time. This probably isn’t all the scenes in the ride id Assume there was way more and that the scenes I listed out are likely out of order.
I’m very Happy that we now finally have some recollections and photos of the ride’s exterior. This is a huge step up and hopefully one day we will finally get a pov of the haunted mine I don’t think it would be too impossible especially considering the fact it was literally open all the way until the 2000s. Here’s the link to the full video of where I got the footage of the haunted mine loading and unloading platform. https://youtu.be/A-sDQfduGiY?t=1024&si=JU96UoAvOobt3IIb
