Monster Plantation opened in 1981, designed by Gary Goddard, who directed Masters of the Universe and has been in the news lately. It was also worked on by people who haven't been accused multiple times of child molestation. All of the characters were designed by former Disney animator Phil Mendez. The characters have a distinct 70s feel to them, a kind of cross between underground comics and Precious Moments.

Monster Mansion
Monster Mansion at Six Flags over Georgia is the finest dark ride outside of a Disney park. The brief boat ride has 107 animatronic figures, each one with a distinct personality and gimmick and many with a backstory. The ride began it's life in 1967 as The Tales of the Okefenokee, based on the tales of Uncle Remus. It was worked over by the Krofft brothers and lasted until 1980.

The ride was updated in 2009 and the name changed to Monster Mansion, something about plantations having a certain connotation in Georgia.
