here; however, the maze took you back through the life of little Molly Crowe who controlled the crows and opened up a gateway to hell. This is what I can remember...
Your experience started off at the entrance to Molly's house in 1901, where a Victorian gentleman, who is a medium, meets you next to a hearse. There he would tell you the backstory to little Molly who opened up the portal, which ultimately resulted in her death. He explains to the audience that now Molly is dead, she controlled the birds around the area and they would proceed to peck out the eyes of those near, therefore, a hood had to be worn to protect your eyes as you entered the house.
Guests would then follow a guide rope around the attraction which led you through various points of her life, including her birth, childhood, and the house fire where she was burnt alive when the portal was opened. You then experienced her burial and hear her parents crying before entering her bedroom, where your hoods are then removed. Maze-goers would then be confronted by Molly who disappears as the room darkens, then to appear again, before rising high above the bed screaming.The attraction used many different senses, including smell pots, heat, dirt, feathers, and of course, voices! The only room to be themed was the bedroom and no other part of the attraction was themed. Having been behind the scenes of this attraction with TowersTimes, it was really interesting to see the guide ropes in The Towers and nothing else. Apart from the Victorian gentleman and Molly, all the actors were dressed normally and were not costumed. The attraction only lasted one year, which was replaced by Mine Tours a year later!
