Carnival of Carnivorous Clowns - The Funhouse of Doom

While exploring Black Pearl Beach I happened upon a Funhouse with a difference. 
Called the Carnival of Carnivorous Clowns - The Funhouse of Doom I had to enter. 
I mean, seriously, how evil can a clown be right???

Being a total chicken at heart I needed the shoulders of a He-man to hide behind, and since the mystery monkey was nowhere in sight I looked down my list and plucked the first courageous person to answer the call, and so, down the clown's throat we went, Twisted Knickers leading the way.



As we gathered our thoughts and organised our supplies, we prepared to ascend the stairs to begin our journey in earnest.  Past the puppet show and into the depths of the "Fun" house we went.
Am I going to tell you everything there is to do?   Of course not, that would be giving it all away, but I will show you SOME of the obstacles you will encounter on your trip.


The obstacle course began with rotating clowns and then it was up the stairs if you can get up them. 
We bounced our way across the bouncing castle and into the Wall of Clowns. 
What is the trick to get through the maze?



We stumbled into a room with stripes and some poor guy clinging to a wall.  This is weird – no door.  Or is there?  Find the way to the next room and ... disconcerting isn’t it!  LOL.  Be nice – don’t wake the clown.
The twisting candy-cane-coloured poles and ball room were a bit of fun to fight your way through.
There are two areas coming up with platforms that either move or disappear entirely. 
Carefully pick your way through the course.  Don’t rush but don’t go too slow either.
The rotating ball ball room you have to pass through was really disconcerting.  Stop and take a breath and you might find your way out.


Evil Elevator

There is a rather evil elevator that you need to ride to take you to the next bit of fun and games, namely the morgue. *shudder*
Wander through the spike turnstiles.  Make sure you don’t end up like some of the other visitors, then it’s time for the tunnel of hands. 


Go up to the roof next but watch out for the guy at the top of the stairs... He nasty.  Now down you go into the drain and some sewers before ascending into a torture room.  Hope you aren’t a clown.  They don’t look too happy in here. 
It’s time to step into the bowels of hell.  Watch out for the sphincter. *laughs*
Around the carousel and into the room of mirrors.  Careful the ground isn’t quite as solid as it appears.
The end is nigh for you have now entered the circus arena with the ringmaster.  Careful you don’t burn as you find the right exit.
When you finally complete the Carnival of Clowns make sure you get a pic as a souvenir at the end.

This was great fun.  It drove us a little bit nutty but then I think we were before we went inside.
Had Knickers and I in fits of laughter.
