I did it last year, and while excellent, it may be a bit scary for smaller children. Only parents will really kno what thier kids can handle. Scared kids may want to sit away from the back of the wagon, and as close to the front as possible. I'll give a brief description of the ride:
SPOILERS BELOW ... BEWARE
You start out loading the wagon, and the CM sets out like a standard nightime wagon ride. After a few minutes, you come across a creepy old man on a dark road who hops aboard the wagon. You're basically transported back to Sleepy Hollow, and the story teller begins to tell the story of the Headless Horseman. As you're riding, you'll come across Ichabod on horseback (a live CM) who'll interact with the wagon and explain his situation. As you continue the ride through the dark woods, you'll come across foggy paths and a shack in the distance with red lights (ie. the home of the headless horseman). You'll come across the remnants of poor Ichabod, and at this point, you'll see the headless horseman in the distance out the back of the wagon. You have to make a break for the edge of the woods while the horseman chases you down. This is where the ride gets great ... The wagon gets rolling pretty good with the horseman in chase. The horseman and his horse will practically get up in the back of the wagon as well as racing along the sides very close. Of course in the end, you make a safe escape
I believe there's a night shot video on
YouTube if you check. I'd highly recommend the ride, but also realize that it can get intense (but that's what makes it so fun)
. She can't remember much more about it though, sorry.
