Whatever happened to Tunnel of Terror in a St. Paul cave?
The Halloween attraction in an old Ford sand mine terrified visitors for more than two decades. Then a safety requirement ended its run. The former St. Paul Halloween attraction, known as the Tunnel of Terror, was shut down after a 2004 incident led to carbon monoxide poisoning in another set of river bluff caves. The underground pathways were used by Ford Motor Co. to mine silica sand and produce glass for car windows and windshields. The event, which was run by the St.Paul Jaycees as a fundraiser, attracted 12,000 visitors annually. The fire marshal ruled out a second emergency exit due to the high number of people in the space. Despite these risks, urban explorers have found ways to get inside despite blocked entrances. Many of the caves in St. Peter's West Side are old silica Sand mines, some dating back to the 1800s.
