We are proud to release the original proposals from Bill Tracy for ‘The Haunted House‘, which was a one-story packaged dark ride that was erected at Trimpers Amusements in 1964. Tracy submitted several proposals to Granville Trimper over the course of agreements before deciding on a one-story dark ride package. Initially, Tracy attempted to convince Granville Trimper to build a two-story dark ride, hence, he sent a two-story proposal during late February of 1964. Granville was not keen on the two-story ride and outside forces would have prevented the two-story ride from being completed by the start of the season. As a result, Tracy sent a revised proposal outlining a one-story attraction two weeks later, which inevitably was built during Spring of 1964.
