Glad you enjoyed Mystery Lodge there at Knotts, Julie.
That attraction originally debuted at Vancouver's EXPO 86 World'sFair, as part of the General Motors pavillion, believe it! And it was sold to Knott's following the fair's closure that October.
The original was definitely different in focus in regards to the Native Indian Culture and folklore of the (then) immediate area around BC. But the electronics, film technology and live theater 'magic' is all one and the same.
And this was one of The Big Hits of the fair back in 1986! I remember actually RUNNING to the pavillion one morning at opening time, just to NOT have to wait over a (usual) hour or more with the (usual) eventual long lines that immediately formed after EXPO's gates opened, heh heh.
It was a great attraction, and I remember enjoying it again when we saw it at Knott's in 1996. True retro memory of the fair, thru Mystery Lodge.
