TP...sorry, but I finally figured out a good Lighthouse layout.
(I see this in the WW queue or in the MIB tent in Orlando)
Facade -
https://youtube.com/watch?v=tHTiaVIxWQ4… The large lighthouse, with the massive horn blaring. However, you don't enter the Lighthouse...you enter into the sea (projection on the tent)
Scene 1 - You wander through the water, logs filling your path, as you see the body of Winslow (the real one). The mermaid will of course lunge at you from under the water (water effects will be like this
https://youtube.com/watch?v=YGXiJ2Q2kGg…)
Scene 2 - Remember that scene in Scarecrow where there's a bunch of crows? Now it's seagulls (that won't crap on you, we're saving the water effect for later), with some blackout performers having a few fly at you. As you exit, you see Howard beating the hell out of the Gull, and might even try to attack you with it in some weird blind rage, as you finally enter the lighthouse.
Scene 3 - The large spiral staircase, with Wakes weird moaning, and something dripping on top of you. A tentacle tries to grab at you from the grates.
Scene 4 - The living quarters, where it's sort of like the "Masquerade Of The Red Death" room in Nevermore, with various dummies of Wake and Howard dancing. Of course some try and scare you.
Scene 5 - Back outside, where on the rocks you see the mermaid (with some rocks hiding certain parts). She screams, as her form quickly fades to that weird octopus Wake (peppers ghost). This serves as a distraction for a Gull to pop out from a well.
Scene 6 - Back to the living quarters, where Wake is doing his hark curse, waves projecting on the walls. Whilst this distracts you, the window breaks from the storm, spraying air and water on you.
Scene 7 - Now you're near the open hatch of the lighthouse, the body of the real Winslow on the floor. The walls then fade to outside (similar to FVJ in Hollywood), whilst Wake lunges at you, his mouth and eyes now blinding lights (mask on the actor), as he screams out "THE LIGHT BELONGS TO ME!". The scream transitions into the lighthouse foghorn.
Scene 8 - Now raining on you (sort of like the UM facade), you see the ruined boat, as you hear Wake trying to convince Howard that he was the one who smashed up the boat and tried to kill him. A weird fusion of Howard/Wake (sort of like the split face thing in the Thing) runs from the fog carrying an axe, screaming "DON'T LEAVE ME!"
Scene 9 - Back again to the living quarters, where Howard is punching the mermaid Wake on the floor (similar to this effect in Exorcist
https://youtu.be/Nlc0QEEXFDg?t=164…). A rotten version of the real Winslow's corpse emerges as you're distracted, his body bloated and decaying.
Scene 10 - Now you're underground, hearing Wakes final attempts to curse Howard. Wake's hand emerges from the dirt, as up above Wake tries to attack you with a shovel.
Scene 11 - Now up at the light, as strobe lights fill the room, whilst Wakes distorted screams fill the air. Actors disguised in the walls (full white bodysuits) lunge at you.
Scene 12 - Before you exit, you see the body of Wake being eaten by Gulls, as he gives you one last scare by trying to reach out to you. "Doodle Let Me Go" plays as you exit (similar to Neverending Story in ST)
