The Phantom of the Opera

The maze is loosley based on the Lon Caney film and novel by Gaston Leroux. Not the ALW musical.

Facade: Very much similar to the Paris Opera House.

 Grand Staircase/Masqurade: Once inside, guests enter the masked ball, where 4-5 elegantly dressed scareactors mixed within a few costumed dummies will attack from areas among a mirror maze on the sides of the room. Guests will encounter the Phantom dressed in his Red Death costume from a balcony in the center of the room.

 The Theater: Guests will have to make their way the balcony seating section of the Paris Opera House. The seats on either side of the aisle would be filled with patrons (mostly dummies, but a few scareactors mixed within). There would also be an audio mix that of a perfomance of Faust, where Carlotta is playing the role Margurite. Not Christine. However, when Carlotta sings, she crokes like a toad. Suddenly the ceiling would be struck by lightning causing the chandelier to spark and fall.

Apollo's Lyre: We proced up to the rooftops of the Oper House overlooking the Parisian cityscape. The scene is very peacful, however The Phantom can be seen flying from statue to another. If that dosn't scare you, then the living statues will.  

Catwalk: Making your way through hanging ropes & sandbags, the Phantom appears (on a platform a little higher up) with the body of Joseph Buquet, a noose around the neck. The body then comes back to life andl warn you to keep the hand at the level of your eye because you wouldn't want to fall victim to the Phantom's punjab lasso. The floor would suddenly "drop" a little complete with the sound of the catwalk collapsing.

Backstage Corridor: The backstage area would utilize the same red ornate walls found within the rest of the Paris Opera House. So that it gives it that much more of a luxurious feel to it. 

Prop Room/Costume Department: The prop room is littered with portraits, statues, trunks, crates, antiques, and furniture. A couple of scareactors are hidden amoung the manneguins in costumes, so they could blend in and scare the guests as they pass by.

Christine's Dressing Room: After passing through a backstage corridor, you'll enter Christine's dressing room. There will be a full length mirror in the room, which would actually be a two-mirror scare from the Phantom. Christine would appear from behind an oriental room divider (used for changing clothes) to warn you "He's here, the Phantom of the Opera"

 Sceret Passageway/ Catacombs: The guests will make their way through a secret passage (behind the mirror) that will lead them down into the sewer and underground tunnels beneath the opera house. There would be a damp musty scent in the air, water dripping from rusted pipes, and every few feet there'd be mini air hoses on the floor to simulate rats on the floor. The floor would ramp downwards to give the illusion that you're descending deeper beneath the building. The Rat Catcher will make his apperance by figtening guests from an agasent passageway. 

The Phantom's Lair: Guests emerge into the underground lair of Erik, the Phantom of the Opera.  The masked fiend alternates between scowling at guests and playing his organ, which activates air jets and a burst of noise from the organ pipes behind the guests. As guests attempt to flee through the crypt, they are attacked by Erik, now without his mask. 

Tourcher Chamber: Guests will have to make their way through a mirror maze. The room seems to be heating up. Raoul and the Persian tell guests that they must leave now.

The Graveyard/ Finale Scene: After escape the Phantom's clutches. Guests are no longer in The Paris Opera House, they are now in the graveyard. Christine can be seen sitting at the side of her deceased father's grave. The haunting sound of a violin can be heard within the night sky. A pile of bones will sping to life, lunging at the guests. As the guests exit the house, the The Phantom himself will give guests one finale scare.
