Why not have a bunch of, like, sexy but still spooky merpeople? I mean, it’s SEA world, not Bookworld or whatever, and with the merpeople you’d have an excuse for putting them in an “enclosure” so people can’t get handsy with the scare actors.
the sliding to make sparks is actually like a pretty common haunt actor thing iirc? i find it so cool that idek why its a scare thing tbh. its like if a mummy did a backflip im just going "OOOO SICK!" and completely forgetting the scary aspect
