“We had this factory in Vernon [California] that we were already building, and it was almost finished. It was meant to be a real serious factory but we were like, ‘Okay, we can turn this into a wonderland.’ So we built a tram ride in it and we’re like, ‘Oh yeah, but we have to get people here.’ So we bought a fleet of busses, gutted the insides, and then built them into submarines and gardens and all sorts of different things. It didn’t look like you were on a bus at all. We bought a restaurant in the arts district and then converted it into a jungle maze that we took people through and then loaded them onto busses.” he said. “The whole distillery back then, was themed around the Island of Dr. Moreau.”
