Scrooge MacDuck: Is there a link to this early script? Did they stick to it? I just watched a video of the ride taken with night vision and there are some things that just don't make sense:

1: The hanging victim is clearly wearing a Victorian dress. 2: The hanging victim appears to have her hands tied behind her back, it is not clear that the victim has a noose around her neck. 3: The whole point of the whole gag is that the occupants of the room are scared because the body above them appears to be falling on them. I clearly remember as a child that the victim would drop at least a meter before the lights went out. It's not clear in the video, but I know that the room bit has been sped up in recent years and they likely disconnected the mechanism that dropped the victim to reduce time and because it was an additional bit to maintain). 4: The lights go out because the whole point is to effect the idea that the body will continue to fall into the room. I remember when I was young that people moved from the center of the room at this point. 4: Most clearly of all is the sound effect is NOT of someone screaming in fear because the light went out, but has a Doppler effect of someone falling from a great height... followed by the sound of a crash. That is, the point of the hanging effect in the expanding room is to scare the audience with the belief that a live victim is falling from the ceiling onto them.
