Tracy used his signature Torture Chamber stunt in attractions as early as 1963 and it was very popular thereafter, and still is today. With an average footprint of 16’ long and 8’ deep, it generally included prefabricated dimensional background panels in 4’ sections along with three to four figures animated with continuous duty motors and a few flood lights for a spooky glow. Check out some photos of Tracy’s Torture Chamber after it was freshly overhauled 10 years ago in winter 2014 at Trimper’s Amusements in Ocean City, MD. It’s so cool to see these pieces of amusement and dark ride history being so well taken care of through the years!
