A
dark ride is an indoor
amusement ride consisting of a vehicle traveling past
animated scenes.
Leon Cassidy[?] of the
Pretzel Amusement Ride Company[?] invented and patented the single-rail dark ride in
1928. Notable dark rides include the
Futurama at the
1939 New York World's Fair, and the Haunted Mansion at
Disneyland.
A boat dark ride is sometimes called an Old Mill or Tunnel of Love. In the United Kingdom, dark rides are called ghost trains.
