Those 3-D effects, are very unique. Some people, recreate the rides from Great Adventure such as: Lightinin Loops, Scream Machine, Rolling Thunder, and other rides from other six flags areas.

thats freaky.... it's a haunted castle, and then there are actually deaths in it.

RIP those that died in that tragic fire

When I was 8 years-old I learned about this and found it interesting.

Now 12 years-old, 4 years later, I am scared to death at the thought of it. I can't sleep.

This is a pretty compelling doc, very well researched. It would be nice to see a higher resolution upload. If not here on YT, then on Vimeo. VO and editing could be a little better, but that's a minor criticism.

I was in the castle one week before the fire and I noticed the torn open foam padding then, when i heard about the fire , I knew that someone had lit that foam pad on fire... very sad
