S & S AMUSEMENTS-1980's

The Funhouse in top picture was completely built by Steve Swika, Jr.
I beleive back in the 70's.
What's amazing is it played the same route, year after year, and always turned a lot of folks.
The Dark Ride is a Pretzel Dark Ride that the Swika's purchased.
It wasn't exactly a showpiece when the acquired it.
But after Steve finished working on it it was a showpiece.
A Pretzel Dark Ride works completely on gravity to propel the cars thru the ride.
