Spook-A-Rama
Class: Traditional Darkride (Pretzel)
Description: Once one of the largest darkrides ever built, it is now shorter but no less thrilling. After you enter the car, you take a mild ride away from the building, then turn to finally enter. Once inside, you find a large room (well you would if you could see inside). Shortly after, one stunt after another grabs your attention as you constantly twist and turn through every bit of the ride area. The stunts seem to keep coming faster and faster until the finish. Even though the ride is equipped with Pretzel's spinning cars, as with most other installations, they no longer spin and are in a fixed side view position. A masterpiece from the Golden Age of dark rides.

Manufacturer: Frederick A. Church / Sally Corp
Opened: 1929
Description: One of only five original Old Mills left in the U.S. Ye Old Mill like many that have gone before it, is built directly under a wooden rollercoaster (Dragon Coaster). As was also common, it was manufactured by the same company as the coaster (Frederick A. Church). The wooden boats follow the 1200 feet of curved passageways directly under the coasters structure. It is one of the original rides from when the park opened.
This attraction was renovated by the Sally Corp. in 2001. Keep a look out forTrolls ahead as the Gnomes mine for their gems!

Manufacturer: R.E. Chambers
Description: Zombie Castle was built by the R.E. Chambers company who took over operation of the Traver Engineering plant in Beaver Falls PA.

While Zombie Castle has an old time feel and ride, it is state of the art from a technology standpoint with new sound and wiring. The owners later converted the cars from one bench to two bench vehicles.
