A "Dark Ride" is an indoor amusement park attraction that takes guests on a journey through themed environments, often using vehicles that move along a track. These rides are typically darkened to enhance the experience, allowing for special effects, animatronics, and storytelling elements to create an immersive atmosphere. Dark rides can be found in various settings, including theme parks and carnivals. They often feature scenes that depict fantasy, adventure, or horror themes, engaging riders with visual and auditory effects. Popular examples include Disney's Haunted Mansion and Universal's Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.
