Slay Bells: Haunted Mansion
Holiday
December 5, 2008 |
Today marks the launch of
IOACentral's holiday
celebration. Although in
this case you could call it
a "scary-bration," as we
untraditionally depart from
the typical holiday joy and
back track to this past
October.

As part of our "David's
Adventures" column, this
four-part journey will take
you through Disneyland,
Knott's Berry Farm, and both
Universal Studios Hollywood
and Florida during the haunt
season. |

|
In this first stop, we travel to the
Disneyland Resort and pay visit to
"Haunted Mansion Holiday." You can

Today is the final day of
operation for The Flying
Unicorn. The attraction will
be closing to make way for
construction on the
Wizarding World of Harry
Potter. The odd thing about
the closure is that nothing
has been mentioned
officially by Universal.
Whether or not the
attraction will remain once
Potter opens is unknown,
though rumors suggest that
the attraction will be
re-themed to involve a
hippogrith - a mythical
creature from the franchise.
Fans of Unicorn, such |
|
|
as myself, can only hope
that this great family
attraction will remain
post-Potter - of course
though, only time will tell.
For those of you in the
area, make sure to head on
out to the parks today and
take one final spin through
Merlin Wood. And in my last
words... fare thee well!
