Check out a few West View Park advertisements and media placements for Tracy’s attractions including opening day for his Haunted House in June 1963, and another promoting the opening of his Davey Jones Locker attraction a year later in June 1964. Five years after Tracy’s Haunted House opened at West View, another snippet was included in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette featuring a young man inside the ride in front of Tracy’s Torture Chamber. It’s interesting to discover how local media outlets worked to promote Tracy’s attractions in support of a park’s success way back when.

One thought on “Tracy’s attractions in the news at West View”

  1. I was wondering are their any videos from a ride back in the 70s from million dollar pier in Atlantic City from a ride called The Oriental Express? I went in that as a kid about 30 times. I hope I would love to see some kind of video. Thanks
