Who has seen the Haunted Lighthouse 4-D show at Busch Gardens?

For those that have been, how was the Haunted Lighthouse show?

Yes, Barry, I've been there (along with about 2 million other folks on Memorial weekend Saturday!).

It is an extremely well-produced piece of cinema, with a strong storyline (which may just be a bit too intense for very young children) and several laugh-out-loud 3-D tricks. Actually, the emphasis seems to be more on story than 3-D trickery, but it is still a very amusing attraction (watch out for the beer!!!). It is not quite up there with HISTA or ITTBAB (and the new Shrek 4-D is a different story altogether), but it is very well made, stars Christopher Lloyd and the theatre takes quite a crowd (about 600 a time, I think), so it shouldn't involve a long wait.

I think we're going to be seeing this same attraction at Sea World in San Antonio in a couple of weeks.

It's listed as being "family friendly". The family traveling with us has a 7 year old. Without giving away the fun, is there anything that I need to warn them about?

Thanks!

we saw that show during march vacation--my four kids all liked it--it had a real story line and the effects were pretty good--not at all scary (my 3yr old didnt wear the glasses so he had no problems) overall it was good-not fabulous.

We saw this show in Virginia in April. My 5 yo dd did not find it scary. It was a nice thing to do when you're tired to rest and cool off. It was ok, not fabulous.

We saw it this past week and all (2 adults, 1 teen, 9 yo son and 6 yo daughter) all loved it. The kids didn't find it scary at all.

Plan on seeing it this weekend. Sounds Great!

We saw this show in Bush Gardens in Virginia. It was well done and a cute show. I felt it was similiar to Honey I Shrunk the Audiance with the special effects and the 4-D glasses. I really didn't see anything that was too scary for children. I thought it was more "campy" then scary and my DH and I enjoyed it.
