Instead of being hanged though, when the executioner pulled the lever, there was a fireball, and in plain view of the audience she drops through, turns into a dove, and flys away.

If you have a boat full of enlightened riders who know just where the beams are, you can wave your hands in the air safely, and break the beam multiple times causing a cool "s-s-s-s-s-s-s-Sit Down" Don't even think of really standing up though!

19. What was the very first maze in Haunt history to be featured in 3D?

From Quiz Knott's Scary Farm Halloween Haunt

Answer: Carnival of the Carnivorous Clowns

Carnival of the Carnivorous Clowns first premiered in 2000 near the once abandoned Windjammer. It had an extremely long run (6 years), and only changed locations once, when construction began on Xcellerator, the location changed to the Buffalo Nickel Arcade. Eventually 2005 was the last run for this maze for two reasons. One, the theme has exhausted and the maze was old. Two, the Buffalo Nickel Arcade was about to be torn down and replaced with a Johnny Rockets, and with that done, the clowns would no longer have a home.

Arrow built the Matterhorn at Disneyland in 1959, but it did not go upside down. Revolution at Magic Mountain was the first with a vertical loop. Knott's had the Corkscrew in 1975 that was the first upside Arrow coaster and started the roller coaster boom once again after some lean years in the 50's and 60's. Of course Montezooma's Revenge is a shuttle loop coaster at Knott's but came later on and is still running today.
