review: COBLE HAUNTER PRESENTS: SUNNYSIDE MANOR

Riverside locals Brett and Melisa Coble, aka “Coble Haunter”, started off their haunt career with mazes, but since 2019 they have entered into the challenging and enormously entertaining territory of DIY dark rides. The Coble Haunter dark ride includes handcrafted tracks and vehicles that are paired with motion activated sounds and mechanical reactions. For the 2021 Halloween season they created “Sunnyside Manor”, a dark ride that left us completely speechless and in awe.

The Cobles have built an entire ride system that includes a Fantasyland stylephoto control panel (complete with security monitoring). The track system was as smooth as Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride and took us through the haunted Sunnyside Manor furnished with grandfather clocks, chandeliers, and spooky paintings that stared down at passing visitors. The moving carts triggered numerous creepy characters and soundtracks, which greatly enhanced the suspenseful atmosphere. Around one turn we even saw a Gremlin who was revealed through a mirror illusion.

While most haunters engage in a good amount of research and work to bring to life their mazes, the Cobles have gone above and beyond in order to create a theme park-style haunted attraction. By doing so, they have made an indelible impression on the Southern California haunt scene - and we are certain that Coble Hautner’s dark ride will be very influential in the upcoming decades. The Cobles have achieved the impossible with Sunnyside Manor, and they have successfully made a permanent name for themselves in the haunt community.
