We are pleased to finally release a photo of Whacky Shack at Joyland Amusement Park in Wichita, KS as it looked before the dip was removed! This Whacky Shack opened in 1974 and is known as Tracy’s final project before he passed away in August of the same year. Note: The random and colorful “stained glass” pattern and large opening above the dip is very similar to what was constructed five years later for the Tracy inspired Lumalusion.
