Halloween at Stanley Park - Part 2

We started lining up for the train at 8:45pm. We were entertained by 3 little girls in front of us who were just brimming with excitement. Also, there were some teenage girls in front of them who were clearly in need of more attention from their parents. When an older security guard came by I jokingly said to him, "You see what drugs does to people." We didn't get onto the train until about 9:30pm. Squeezing into the little cars is always "fun" This time we were on the alternate train, which had padded seats. A few minutes later the train started off.
The sound system on the train was superb - clear & crisp but not too loud. The soundtrack was a wonderful mix of music, spooky sounds, and just other weird noises. One of the most exciting moments came early on when we went through a tunnel of sorts and suddenly some long skeleton hands started coming toward my mom. She momentarily freaked out! Throughout the 20 minute ride there are numerous actors dressed up as skeletons, ghosts, and devils. One guy's job was to just sit on a toilet and then be awoken by us passing on the train - hilarious! These devils you see here we knew about ahead of time because they had visited us on in the line-up. I think these 2 fellows had the most fun of all!
