What this video covers
This video documents a farewell visit to Ripley's Haunted Adventure in San Antonio, Texas, ahead of its permanent closure on August 30, 2022. The attraction — along with the adjacent Guinness World Records Museum and Tomb Rider 3D ride — was shut down to make way for a new Alamo Plaza Visitors Center and museum. The creator captures the experience one final time as a send-off for a long-running Riverwalk landmark. It serves as both a nostalgic walkthrough and a heads-up for local fans to visit before the doors closed for good.
