"In 1986, a live person walked around the HM. He was in the area between
the coffin and Madam Leota's room. It was a great effect but one, it was
not cost effective and two, people were hitting and doing other things
to the CM and three, guest complaints. The CM had a remote to stop the
ride when this happened and it became such a problem it was discontinued."

Do you mean a real person, or a knight is shining armor and the armor moved?

[rainbodragon]

LOL Oh wow, that brought back memories!! I remember that! I remember sitting with my mom, I was a kid, we were in our "doom buggy" and didn't realize the knight was coming up behind us. It was during a part when you are going backwards. I remember he had an axe and he suddenly swung it in front of us LOL It scared the (you know what) out of both of us as we didn't expect something moving or coming out at us!

My mother litteraly screamed and jumped into my lap LOL For years after I remember looking back making sure he was gone :laughing:
