The Carnival of the Damned

From MIwiki

The Big Whoop Amusement Park, also known as The Carnival of the Damned, is the insidious funfair built by LeChuck as a recruitment program for his Army of the Undead. The Carnival appears in Monkey Island 2 and Monkey Island 3. It is most likely built sometime between the first and second games and demolished (as told by Murray) by the fourth game. One of the lasting impacts of the carnival was to convince the Monkey Island Cannibals to leave the island.

The Rollercoaster of Death

The Rollercoaster of Death is one of the primary attractions at the carnival and also the setting for the third games' climax. A nefarious ride which was rigged to the Giant Monkey Head would cause victims/customers to take a dive down into a pool of molten lava that instantly turned them into undead skeletons. During the battle between LeChuck and Guybrush on board the ride Elaine managed to escape and re-routed the tracks so that Guybrush wouldn't fall into the lava.

The Rollercoaster features several notable scenes from the game's history which include:

• Guybrush's first visit to Monkey Island, featuring Herman Toothrot, his hanged friend and the Three-Headed-Monkey.
• Captain Marley's voyage to Monkey Island, featuring Marley with his crew.
• Guybrush and Wally's entrapment by LeChuck during the second game.
• An unknown scene of an abominable Snow Ape.
