Check out the original concept drawing for Whacky Shack at Dorney Park, likely produced in early 1964. It was created by Manfred Bass, Tracy’s head artist and sculptor in the early-mid 1960s who eventually became head designer and senior director of the Macy’s Parade Studio from 1963 to 2000. Stay tuned for more on Manfred Bass at a later date.
