In 1981, Six Flags Over Georgia opened a boat ride called The Monster Plantation. Passengers float past dozens of comical and menacing animatronic monsters. This attraction was developed by many former (and some current) Disney Imagineers.In 2009, The Monster Plantation became The Monster Mansion. The monsters got refinished, and some new characters were added. There are now new special effects, sets, lighting, audio, and even the exterior got a bit of an upgrade.
Shown here is the exterior and the load/unload area. I'll be posting pictures from 1985, 2008 and 2009. I'm sure many eagle-eyes will spot the changes.
Stay tuned for more monster madness!

ReplyDeleteoutsidetheberm: Hello! Thank you for the nice comment!
Pretty impressive from the outside even!! My favorite rides as a kid were boat rides like Pirates, and the log ride at Knott's. I would've LOVED this thing as a kid!
ReplyDeleteDarrin, because of the scary Monster Marsh section of The Monster Plantation, I did not like this ride when I first rode it in 1983. As the years went on, I ended up loving it very much. I also love water-based rides.
