the room. A breathy noise would be heard as a shot of air was blown behind the necks of guests. Above, guests would see a demon figure in the ceiling with flashing lights, as the lights went out, guests would hear flapping noises and the demon was then shown on the other side of the room in the ceiling, again with flashing lights. As the lights went out, a louder roar was heard, a crunch and a scream, at which point a small amount of water was released from the ceiling over guests, to imitate a demon spitting on diners. The chandelier lights would then light again and the ride then spun very fast in one direction as the orchestral score played and a pneumatic occasionally made one half of the "bowl" shoot upwards and down again. Upon the ride ending, guests would leave via two double doors on the other side of the Baronial Dining Hall, which led outside to the front of the attraction. The Tagada was a Soriani & Moser tagada which the park bought as new in 1987. In 2010, travelling showman and attractions fabricator Walter Murphy bought it from the park and converted it to a travelling machine before selling it on to Stewart Robinson who still owns and travels it, mainly in the Yorkshire section.
