Category: Website Updates

On a whim, I decided to see if one of the A.I.s could resurrect my 2002 Haunted Mansion adventure game. Back then, Java was all the rage. My game was a Java applet that ran in a web browser. Fast forward some years and Java is no longer a standard feature in web browsers…

My original work-in-progress has been translated (bugs and all) to Javascript so it can now play in a modern web browser. Check it out:

Or, if you want to see the new version I am working on now, try here:

I have been working on it tonight adding new commands and things that will let me build an actual game with puzzles to solve. There may be a door to unlock, and a secret to find, already… (But no “game” to win yet.)

I hope to resume work on it (many new features have already been added, thanks to partnering with a robot).

There’s no turning back now…

When I set up this sub-site to host my Adventureland History Wiki, I created this blog to hold Adventureland-specific posts. Since then, the scope of my main blog has increased, so I think I will move all of these Adventureland posts over to the main blog to keep everything in one place.

Hopefully this will go smoothly. I am hoping to work on this some upcoming weekend.

Once done, I will try to start writing some new retro photo essays about Adventureland, similar to the ones I’ve written about Disney and Universal. Adventureland just celebrated its 50th birthday, so it will be fun to look back 30 years ago when I first started taking photos at the park.

To be continued…

Why, yes, there is an index of all the restrooms at Advetureland, including a sortable table so you can find the ones with the most stalls (shortest wait?) or the ones with changing stations. Because Internet.

Welcome to the unofficial Adventureland information resource site. This site will consist of news updates, articles, and an encyclopedia of information relating to Adventureland Park in Altoona, Iowa.

Your first stop should be to check out the Wiki – an encyclopedia of “everything Adventureland”. It is currently just getting started, but it should give you a good idea of the scope of this project.
