Description
At their core, dark rides are indoor attractions that guide guests through themed scenes, using darkness to control lighting, effects, and atmosphere. Unlike roller coasters, they focus more on story and immersion than thrills—though there are exceptions. Some are whimsical, some are scary, and others, like those at Disney and Universal, push the boundaries of ride technology. This is Episode 3 of Theme Park Tactics—The Wonderful World of Dark Rides.
