Big Thunder Ranch Halloween Carnival and Villains Tent Experience
One of my favorite events at the DLR was the Halloween Carnival and Villains Tent Experience. While I was co-director of this event, I was the creative force behind creating the audio track for the conjuring of the Villains. Every day I would delight in the fact that the ground rumble as our Villain was being transported from the other world into ours.
However, it was the innovative use of our characters that made this venue so special. We not only encouraged them to interact with the guests rather than simply take pictures, but we created show moments where Mickey, Minnie and friends would gather the children and bring them up to dance with them in the show. Then, as they wandered through the arena, they would sit with families, color pictures, play games etc, making them truly come to life. People flocked to our arena to visit with these characters, who were having just as much fun as the guests were, by the way.
This was an event where families would come and spend hours together, enjoying the wonderful, inviting atmosphere we created for the Halloween Carnival.
