After entering the mechanical factory to retrieve a rare part you need for your new invention, you find that several of the doors are locked & rusted, leaving you to pursue only 2 paths (regular & fast-pass). You hear creaking & moaning leading you to try to convince yourself it’s just the wind & the factory’s age. Eventually the 2 lines connect & you reach a conveyer belt (which is one of those conveyor belts you see at an airport (I’ll put in the mechanical term later)) which brings you to the loading room, the flashlight mechanics are explained by an old video recording. Strangely enough, your welcomed on to your vehicle by a factory worker despite the fact that the factory’s been closed for years upon years, leaving you to pass it off as a hallucination as the ride begins
The ride starts as doors mysteriously open causing panic in the guests. The guests have their first paranormal encounter with a cartoon-y, more innocent, version of the Yōkai Yuki-Onn, messy recordings instruct the guests to shine the Yōkai with their flash-lights leading to the main mini-game-esk part of the ride
Though there isn’t a full ride-through, here are some of the Yōkai you’ll encounter (but obviously more cartoon-ish)
Amabie
basan
chōchinbi
fūri
Gaki
and many others
Here’s a list of scenes
- Scene 1 (production/conveyor belts), Scene 2 (construction room), Scene 3 (bathroom), Scene 4 (vents 1), Scene 5 (vents 2), Scene 6 (storage room), Scene 7 (shipping room), Scene 8 (outside/escape)
The ride uses the body of The Muppets dark ride... Except for the fact that the new ride features the flash-light technology established from Monsters inc:ride & go seek: to seek out “Yōkai”
