{{stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a medium-sized attraction designed by [[Sega]] for theme park venues. Little is known about this attraction, with very few photos or pieces of information available, however from reports, it was a haunted house/ghost train type ride that incorporated sensors and a live actor in a werewolf costume. As opposed to most of Sega's other rides from around the same point, it relied on almost no technology or interactivity.
