So what is this House of Nightmares? It is the:
“Sally Corporation’s all new haunted attraction, House of Nightmares, is set to open in 2015 at Gröna Lund, the world renowned amusement park in Stockholm, Sweden. This terrifying new attraction will bring visitors face-to-face with the evil Dr. Morphio in his old dark house where horrific nightmares await.
Specially designed for Gröna Lund, this one-of-a-kind walk through attraction will feature animatronic characters and props, CGI video effects, live wire illumination, video projection, Pepper’s Ghost illusions, ultraviolet illumination, and live performers”

The following video gives a useful backstage view of developing the final experience and an insight into work in the experience economy. Think about planning the experience, scripting, staff training – the whole concept of service/experience design. What of the servicescape? How important are the atmospherics?

inWe are spoilt for surf beaches in Sydney but what would you do if you were not so lucky.
Maybe build your own wave.

Here is the Spanish prototype.
Another look at this purpose built experience.
While you sit and think how good are the local beaches also think about this experience

How does it address the four realms? (A bit harder ?)
All to easy – What about the Servicescapes? Maybe this video will give you an insight into the cost, complexity and scale of building the Servicescape of this experience.
