Cave Hallway

Dark Rider

Thanks John. for that clarification. On the last hallway, bottom floor, there also was a giant bat swooping overhead, but that was gone when I last rode in 1984. The torture scene was on the second floor. It was the first major scene you saw after going up the lift hill, and going out over the baloney. The hall you came down after coming in from the baloney did look like a cave. The scenes I recall on the second floor were torture, mad doctor, giant spider, and Knit Wit (which some people referred to as Mrs. Bates) . It was all Tracy stuff. Trimper's has a Tracy giant bat and a Knit Wit, but the executions are different. http://www.laffintheda...es/trimpers/thh3.htm

The Castle of Terror opened in 1963. It was designed by Bill Tracy of Cape May, NJ -- a prolific dark ride designer who also designed Crescent Park's Riverboat.. The viking was actually inside the first two years. He was at the end of a narrow passgeway near the conclusion of the ride. The car made contact with him as it passed. (actually the base he was mounted on). The ride was renamed House of Horrors in the 1970s. and the sign came from another dark ride down the midway that ran from 1948 to 1963. Trimper's Haunted House, also designed by Tracy, has some of the same figures including the woman being sliced on a table saw. They were all made from the same molds. See this article and see if you can ID some of the fiigures. The Trimpers' ride opened in 1962: http://www.laffintheda...es/trimpers/thh1.htm
