I've heard that the dancing ghost in the Haunted Mansion. (he ball room scene with the cake and the two painting shooting each other.) are not projections like most people think. They're animatronics in front of a light, and behind a mirror. However, the animatronics are built backwards, because if they're normal, the women would be leading the men. (or so i've heard.)
After buying Paramount parks in 2006, they then had 3 parks within a few hours of each other. For one they can't market Geauga Lake when the same company owns two better parks just a few hours away from it. They're were kinda breaking even with the 3 parks.
