SMOKE MACHINE LOCATIONS

Spooky Spirits

At its launch, Alton Towers' Haunted House had two Spirit 900s installed in the ride. The first uses a quick dispersing fluid B and both the effect and machine are hard to see in the 'breathing walls' section, around the first corner of the ride. The second uses long lasting fluid A and is slowly distributed through the wall of a stone medieval archway in 'the tunnel of doom' (the section where the cars drive through the mouth of a giant skull into a revolving tunnel). The projection of the smoke from this machine is diffused by fallen masonry. On exiting the park, it is possible to see the back of the large 'warehouse' building in which the ride is located, and the 2 huge 205 litre drums of fluid outside which feed the machines.

The Spirit 900 smoke generator is now available from Pea Soup Ltd. [more]

The Haunted House is now "DUEL - The Haunted House Strikes Back" and is an interactive laser ride, with visitors shooting the ghosts. A total of ten Le Maitre Neutron XS hazers were used to create a constant, fine mist for the ghostly atmosphere, allowing the lasers to be visible.

The ride has also previously used / are currently using ViCount Compact units.
